The dominance of photographs in today's society

Abstract

Social media has become an important part of modern society, but before that, there was the technology that allowed us to create digital tools to innovate communication and knowledge. That's why we're already in the fourth industrial revolution, and social media is part of it. However, whether it's used well or poorly depends on each individual. Instagram has changed over time and continues to be constantly updated to provide good service to its users. This article aims to provide information on the impact that some social networks have had on the world today, especially the Instagram social network and application. The results obtained indicate that the largest audience on this application is young people, and various issues are arising in this regard, such as the presentation of falsehoods, the sharing of personal data and information about a user's life, and the development of unhealthy habits regarding the use of technology and social media. With the current pandemic, their use has increased, but this isolation may reinvent humanity's way of being in relation to the world and nature. Instagram has that unique quality where many photographs showcase the beauty of the world, those small details that few have the inclination to notice and capture in a photo, allowing us to get to know the world through an image. Finally, we must not forget that Instagram is having a significant impact on society, and therefore, we must raise awareness about its use.
