Technological advancement in today's world has brought us to social media and relying on it for many things like connecting with family and friends, being invited to events, and catching up on the latest news stories. One of the biggest things as consumers we need to look for now is the news that is being shared with us and whether it is factual or fiction.

" Technology seems to be conditioning us to expect everything to happen without any delay. People expect not only information now. They also expect the actual products and services now, too.  The demand for instant results is seeping into every corner of our lives. Smartphones eliminate the wait for an Uber ride home, a date, or a table at a restaurant. Movies and TV shows begin streaming in seconds" (Mcgivern, 2020).  With technological advancement, it has changed our society and culture, and the fact that we no longer have to wait for things.
