Social media has
overtaken today’s society so much that it has changed the way we communicate
with people on a daily basis. Around the world, people utilize web pages such
as Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram to upload
statuses, blogs and simply share moment’s, thoughts and pictures. Instagram on one hand, entices many people
that are fascinated with photography. With the simple steps of taking a
photograph, editing it, and uploading it for their followers to scroll through,
it easily allows for users to express their artwork through a social media where
others can encounter the picture and press the like button if they like the
composition.
Launched in 2010,
Instagram was made with the purpose to share photographs online in one’s
profile. Although many people have created selfies and relatable hashtags that
add creativity to the picture itself, it is still a place where someone could
create a professional account and promote their businesses or share a love for
photography in a social media. Not only is it to upload profile pictures along
with inspirational quotes and captions, but when exploring the site you
encounter several of things. For example, when exploring different accounts on
the web site you could come across other friends and family’s account which
allow for you to follow to be notified when they post picture on your timeline
and it lets people be connected in that form. Not only that but there are many
public account that will share pictures of tutorials and different ideas that
allow people to take and try themselves. This makes it more interesting to
scroll down when you’re bored and just want to look at pictures.
With a rapid growing technology based community the
founders of Instagram, CEO Kevin Systrom, and co-founder Mike Krieger, both
graduates of Stanford University, have become successful by creating this
accessible page for people around the world of all ages to use. It has become
well known around the world and is allowing for unique people to post pictures
of their lives in a community where everyone else is doing the same thing. It’s
accessible on a phone and tablet by the app Instagram or by going online to
Instagram.com.
This
type of media is being used so much that it allows for people to connect with
the world through photos. Its show the persons daily activities as well as places
they’ve been by the photos that are shared. Not only does it allow for people
to showcase their pictures but it allows them to get feedback through comments
and the number of likes a certain photograph gets. Friends can also upload
pictures and tag others within the same picture, which would be a little pop
out that demonstrates who’s who. It’s an easy way to share photos that are just
occupying storage in your cameral roll for no one else to see, and allow others
to see them as well. It’s rather awesome how people can look at you photographs
and people could notice them, it demonstrates who you are there the pictures
that you share.
It
has been stated that a picture is worth a thousand words because when a picture
is taken it show a story plot within in it, where people can feel something
towards it, where it grasps their attention or they simply question it and look
at it in awe. This is what photography can do, and with the use of Instagram
many people can see pictures that they can relate to and share with their
friends to have a laugh.
Although many adults look at it as a negative aspect in
society within a teenager’s life and something that causes distraction, it is a
place where scrolling through the newsfeed can bring back memories. It allows
for people to stay connected and it’s easy to handle and allows for people to
get a hold of each other, even by the Instagram messenger. And just like
Facebook, Twitter and all the other social medias that people have, Instagram
allows users to make their profile private so that if they want to keep their
information to be kept safe and only accessible for their friends, it’s doable.
So grab a camera take a picture and if you like it, edit it, add a caption to
it, or even add a video and share it with your friends list to enjoy it as well.
