Generation like, Do I like or dislike

Generation like? A generation where our societal image is based on the amount of likes we receive and give. Advertisers have learnt how to use our media addictions against us by using us to help them to do our jobs. "Generation like" stressed how our social image encompasses all its entails such as sponsorship. The minute we reach 1 millions we become the new toy every company wants to sponsor. The used Hunger games as a reference and there as a certain line which I picked up from it: "To survive you have to get people to like you so you get sponsors". This got me thinking that isn't this what our lives have become, we all hide behind screens hoping to achieve those likes by doing something as pointless as changing a profile photo on Facebook. It is also startling to think that this has become the norm in our generation. This documentary was really eye opening and the whole idea of likes determining our identities is unfortunately the new "cool"
