Let's use our freedom!

In order to create this post I had to spend quite a lot of time digging the depths of the Internet. I want to write about our reality as it is. 

But first, what our reality is like? We are an information society, the Internet is a determinant of our era, technology defines our lives. Nowadays everyone (at least in theory...) has the right to share freely their opinion with the world through the Internet. There are different ways to do that: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, those are the most common platforms. However, there are tons of others and one is free to choose where to write, how to share things or what to read. 

There's so many possibilities one can simply get lost

There are many means of connecting with world: all you need is an idea! Here are some examples of interesting ways of using the Internet for spreading innovative concepts.

Tumblr:  I recommend an interesting blog Novel First Sentences, where someone posted (it makes me sad, but I have to use past tense...) first sentences of novels. Simple, but so innovative to have it all gathered in one place!

Facebook: Humans of New York is a fanpage of a Tumblr blog of a young photographer who publish photos of people met in NY with their words. It's real and often touching or amusing. 

Blogger: I'm not a fan of fashion blogs, but this one is really outstanding. Nadia Aboulhosn is a model, but her size is way bigger than is expected by the fashion world. She's a brave girl and I think her self-confidence deserves an applause. 

Instagram: You may have heard about this man: Murad Osmann is producing music videos and commercials, but he is famous for a different thing: photos of his girlfriend. The way those pictures are taken is really catchy and I'm always waiting for more.

Twitter: It is incredible how social media influence every field of our lives. Barack Obama, the president of the USA, has an official account on that platform and he's on the third place of most followed people. That's how politics get to the people.

deviantArt: If you're looking for extraordinary images, that's the place. Everyone interested in photography can create an account there and publish their work. My friend, Margaret, did it and you can find many of her photos taken in Norway there.

YouTube: It's not only home for music videos or comedians. In fact, it is filled with knowledge about everything: from tutorials on curving hair to history. JamesESL English Lessons is a source of knowledge about English language and I found it useful many times.

I've covered the most popular places available for free. I could go on like that, but I think you got the point: everything starts with an idea, it depends on you which way of sharing this idea will be yours.
