Social Media Station

Theses:

“Society has too many prohibitions and too few invitations” 


Stance:

Inviting people especially strangers to share our joy and happiness is becoming less popular when social media became our main way of communication. We need to adapt with the fact that social media is becoming society’s communication method and use that to send positive messages and thoughts to the public i.e. Facebook post, twitter tweet and Snapchat selfie. The Social Media Station will create a public, interactive and friendly platform to share ideas and do it together.
