How media and entertainment industry is influencing todays trends?

In today's world, where a 12-year-old knows how to send WhatsApp to their family is a classic version of how technology influences our daily lives. Where breaking news is at the tips of our hands, sharing knowledge has become so easy, and communicating anywhere in the world, in no time, reminds us how digital media keeps us connected. Following today's trends and keeping your score is today's next-gen hustle culture. Wow, you just discovered how to make a delicious dish, learned new dance moves, or created a record-breaking song. We have a medium to share with the rest of the world and 'viola' you will be the next pop icon hustling on social media. People will love you, appreciate you, and cherish you. Fast-growing society and globalization have made us realize that it is so easy to stay connected with each other. But how does it affect us? Social media influence, misinformation, and politics. Does it really alter our belief system? Does it really matter how a 12-year-old can per- form better martial arts than you all? Yes, it does. Right information and feedback create a bridge between the user and information is decoded as it is presented to us. It is a simple algorithm that can influence our reality. Whether to follow that person or not, Whether to dine in that particular restaurant or not, Whether to talk about that celebrity who just created a buzz on social media about how cool he is in his Lamborghini. Simple information can spread so rapidly that people will forget about you or will remember you forever. Diversification in media and culture has made our belief system so strong that we are influenced so easily, a simple fact can change how we process things, how we think about ourselves or what is our future. A better way to understand this is to put ourselves in that situation and think, does it really matter to us? Do we really need a reaction to that situation? Or it's just another day in our life scrolling through our social feed and just thinking about it.
