After reading both articles, the Daily Mail article really stood out to me. In this article it talked about how the Black Mirror episode "Nosedive" could possible become a reality. For example, in the article it talks about how "completing community service" and buying various products could up your social standing. If you up your social standing by this then you are offered rewards such as VIP treatment at the airport, waived deposits and even discounted loans. In the article it also states that your score can go down by indulging in things that the "government doesn't approve of". If you have a low social score than you can be prohibited from the best jobs, cut off from internet, and even blocked from sending your children to the best schools. This article wraps it up by saying that this will be the future in China. They are already underway with trying to push this system forward. I think that after watching this show and reading these articles that I will be more conscious of what I post on social media. I normally think before I post but I will be extra aware from now on. Social Media presence is important to me but I am not going to throw away everything over a bad post. I feel like after reading this information that I will do more to clean ip my personal branding and how I am perceived on social media.
