The 17 minute video of a teenage boy's computer screens seem catches a significant amount of my attention. As one of his contemporaries I can relate to the actions he took in this video. Although the actions he took seem to be a little bit extreme, I can still relate to them. Social media can make someone insane especially if you are in some type of relationship which is many cases is already stressful enough. Social media sites such a Twitter,Facebook,Instagram and Tumblr can cause crazy assertions about things that are not even rational. Something as simple as someone commenting/liking your girlfriend's/boyfriend's picture can cause someone to thing that their girlfriend is engaging in some type of intimate discrete relationship. This assertion can consume your life and cause you to engage in actions that you would not normally do. Social media is like some type of drug to me. It consumes your mind and causes you to be paranoid and act crazy. In this video, this boy's outrageous actions are on display. You see the assumptions he makes just off something so simple. As soon as his girlfriend signs off Skype, he automatically assumes that his girlfriend is attempting to break up with him without any actually evidence. He then reacts on instinct and hacks her Facebook rather that being patient and allowing the evidence to come to him.
After watching the conclusion of this video, I have came to the conclusion that a life without social media is a more sane life. If someone cuts out social media for one month, you will notice that they are a more positive and calm person. The media can completely change the personality of someone. The become more combative and aggressive. In this video, this boy had a wide range of emotions that he was going through when he finally figured out that his girlfriend was actually breaking up with him. he went from being angry and aggressive to being sad and sentimental. To sum it up, social media make you CRAZY.

What's the Future of Body Hacking in the age of Patent Trolls ?
The rare topic of "body hacking." I would never see myself gaining interest in something so irrational and absurd.Actual human being placing mechanical engineered products into their bodies for various reasons such as to improve their motor skills or just for the "feeling." People who engage in "body hacking have a specific name for themselves. The want people to refer to them as "cyborgs." This term means that a person is half human and half machine Their is some specific instance where a man placed a device in his arm that connects via Bluetooth and monitors his temperature. These procedures are not done by a authorized surgeon. Therefore, there is a constantly risk for medical mishaps during every single procedure. Why would people put their lives on the line just so their bodies can perform a simple task that it could perform before? Based of the information I attained from this article, I came up with the assertion that people want to feel as if they are the owners of their bodies. Their is a huge political aspect that comes with body hacking. These people who engage in body hacking feels as if the government attempts to control society in every way,shape and form. Therefore, this is a way for them to feel free in some way. This is their way of expressing themselves and no matter how weird you might feel they are you have to respect what they stand for.
