Its Complicated

In "Its Complicated", the author showed how much technology has taken over our lives. No matter how something is worded or shown, there will always be someone who sees it that will think differently. There is a person's intended audience, whether that be friends, family or followers on a social media platform that will interpret the information the same way and most likely know why the person posted what they did. Then there is the person's outside audience who may not know the person's reasoning for what they posted. In many cases, outsiders can see what anyone is posting on social media sites and may not agree with what the poster is saying. Almost anyone can see what is posted on social media and many teenagers don't think that through when posting. They only care about what their friends and peers think of them and not what perspective jobs or colleges can see or what they will think of what they do. Teenagers are so immersed in having others see that they are doing things with friends, even if they aren't things they should necessarily be doing, that they don't think of what consequences they may receive for their actions, whether it be not getting a job or getting accepted to a college. In this new world where technology is much easier to access, people have a bigger audience then ever before and have no way of making themselves appeal to all kinds of people.
