One more day, one more dollar. Or in my case, one more piece of info. Ergo, any situation in which I run into anything  new to learn, gives me a chance for a tabula rasa each time. By this, I don´t mean that I reinvent myself every time I gain new knowledge. However, what adds up to my mind makes me start over in a sense. So that I can reset my ideas. Since I am to become a permanent teacher, I've learned that educating is more than just giving unstinting lessons to our students. Like they say: "Quality over quantity". Lots of masterpieces have been bastardize for the sake of making gold. We live in a society in which "YouTube", "Facebook", and smartphones are relevant in our lives. Some of the content in these sites may be deplorable. Then again, we are the ones who can choose what to watch or read. Conversely, we can also benefit from social media and YouTube. For instance, before I set out on a trip to Argentina, I can stream a short documentary to learn a bit about its culture. Whereas, by using Facebook I can keep closet to my friends, and distant family. Therefore, I would say that what the Internet has to offer are double edged swords. It is up to us whether we use them for good or not. Moreover, there is a bunch of people who have been gaining popularity over this last decade. I am talking about YouTubers of course. These guys can strut their stuff among millions of people who watch their channels. Some of them are good, some are not. There is a wide variety nowadays. As well, you can pick almost any category you want to watch. Nonetheless, the most popular ones are entertainers. To mention a few, "Shane Dawson" and "Pewdipie" are amongst the most watched YouTubers. Even though most of the time they talk about bullshit, they are still very funny and multifaceted. Ergo it may help you out when you find yourself down in the dumps. Regarding smartphones, let's say that we can not look up most of the time we are using them. So that we miss out on meeting people or whatnot if we are focused on them for no reason. Anyhow, to finish, I'd say the following: It may be in fact true the over the last few years new jobs have been created thanks to the Internet. Notwithstanding, as I said before, there are negative aspects to consider about this too. You are the one who ultimately chose what to use you computer  and cellphone for.
