    "As much as they say #iwokeuplikethis - no, you didn't wake up like that." Joey is a social media skeptic, because she feels people posting to social media have to fake it, even if just a little bit. But she did agree to 'do it for the gram' for a week. #BeyondFakeNewspic.twitter.com/kqSbRhghml

    Fake Me: Living for Likes
    Kenyan social media sceptic Joey agrees to live her life on Instagram for a week to see what happens. But can she remain true to herself when the line between real and fake starts to blur?

        Social Media is a communication tool and just like any other tool, it has its advantages and disadvantages. It is upon us to see the value that it brings to communication and use it correctly.

        Really great post. Social media isn’t going anywhere, but it has to be moderated, especially for the next generation. As with everything, it starts at home...

        When she says, "I do it for me, I do it because I loves me". She actually means "I do it for the public, I do it because no one loves me".

        Social media may have fake news but not all social media news are fake but even some main media houses have been accused of fake news but social media has revolutionized the media in general

        Social media clearly isn't for everybody. Also, depends on what you're hoping to get out of it.
