Megaphone

I think that the purpose of the megaphone essay was to display how social media controls the world around us. The megaphone is an analogy to social media because whatever is loudest--aka said on the megaphone--is followed. Thus we are all being controlled by the media subconsciously. I agree with the essay to a certain extent. Certain trends such as fashion, which is always rapidly changing, could be easily controlled by celebrities seen in the media most often. This fact is rather disconcerting because it shows how little impact a normal individual has in comparison to someone who is seem in the media often.
