Resident mode: Is when people go online to connect, react and interact with other people. This mode is about presence and visibility.
I interview my girlfriend which social media she used and how it affect in a good and in a bad way:
"I used WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, 9GAG and I think that's all, I tried to used Tumblr but I got bored and I never understand Twitter.
I used all of this because I can acknowledge many interesting and funny things, be more update with what is going on with the world, what is going on with my friends life.
Something I see with my sister on 9GAG is that you can find funny things, normal, scary, make you get mad but in Russia, China, etc and in many other places it feels the same, because there is universal signs to represent things.
Things I don't like is people competing in who is more happy who have more likes or who made the best trips, also it distract a lot of the real life and because is very easy to scroll Facebook for half hour without knowing that you spent that time, it makes you being apart of people."
