This portion of the wikipedia for social media, “present a framework that defines social media by using seven functional building blocks: identity, conversations, sharing, presence, relationships, reputation, and groups.”, I believe is misinterpreted with today's usage and navigation of social media. Typically social media is about popularity, hot or not trends and the image in which you associate yourself. Groups and relationships do exists online but nowadays it is very clique oriented and hostile/ toxic relationships, primarily associated with catfishing and inserting one's self into group where they cause conflict and strife among fellow social media users. Media presence should be defined as popularity rather than an equal opportunity engagement between online users. Sharing has converted to screenshotting and reposting without permission and identity is no longer an honest guarantee. These seven functional building blocks are wonderful for those with honest intentions but with the way media works in 2015, the likelihood of finding a genuine connection with another online user is far and few between.
