WE EAT SOCIAL MEDIA FOR BREAKFAST

               

                Dr. Preston's tone in his post titled, "We eat social media for breakfast," is surprised. The first sentence is, " This weekend I did something I swore I would never do." Dr. Preston finds himself taking pictures of his breakfast, and sending them to someone. His diction and syntax, is not exactly straight to the point, but instead he goes into further detail of the reason behind his action. Dr. Preston goes on to say that you need the right tool for the right job, and his use of rhetorical questions, attract the reader's attention. He also mentions that the Internet is not just a tool, it is the way we communicate. Dr. Preston explains that he thought about all of this before he texted pictures of his breakfast. The reason Dr. Preston texted pictures of his breakfast was because he missed someone, that someone being his daughter, and he wished he was having breakfast with her at that moment. He shares with us his views, on how pictures are different from when he was a kid. Back then, pictures were expensive and rare, but now we have them at our fingertips. Our pictures depict our lives, and how we live them, " Our pictures create impressions; others who view our lives online come to "know" our identities through our photo streams." Ultimately, the message Dr. Preston is trying to get us to understand, is to consider what tools we will need for our job, in order to be successful at sharing our stories.
