Answer 2

Social media are interactive computer-mediated technologies such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, among others which  facilitate the creation/haring of information, career interests, ideas, & other forms of expression through virtual communities & network. This technology which asserts to having brought with it several advantages, is regarded as one of the most harmful elements of society

Houssein Derakhshan, an Iranian-Canadian blogger, in his article "Social Media Endangers Knowledge", ask us that with social media showing us exactly what we want to know, why do we have to search for information in an encyclopedia? How does it become irrelevant with respect to Wikipedia? Is there any point in the quest for knowledge?  Does the "quest for knowledge" become meaningless?

Explanation:

• Houssein Derakhshan examines the relationship between the increase of television/image oriented medias & the decline in "thoughtful idea exchange". Derakhshan says that when it first emerged in the 1980s, development of the internet appeared to be a new era of "text based communication" and sharing of information. Modern internet use is extensively used for communication of images, such as Instagram &  this "decline" is contributing to a "culture" based on appearance,looks, & status...
• He argues that Wikipedia is the only "large-scale platform" on the internet which indeed models text oriented idea-exchange and has the ability to restore Enlightenment values once again, if attended to through our culture.
• The Internet seemed to oppose this trend in the beginning. It was seen as a tool to pursue knowledge, when it appeared in the late 1980s as a purely textual medium. Reason & thought in this garden were most appreciated, both of them stemmed from the Enlightenment project.
• Universities across the globe were amongst the 1st to linke to this new medium, that hosted informative personal/group blogs, discussion groups, academic mailing lists & forums, electronic magazines. It was an intellectual project, not about control or commerce, that was created in a "scientific research centre" in Switzerland.
• This garden was wikipedia, so was Google search and its advertising model focused on text. And blogs were like that, valuing text, hypertext (links), information, and literature. Effectively they democratized the ability to contribute to the global knowledge corpus. The web has provided an alternate space for more than a decade which challenged the grip of television on society.
• However, since then social networks have colonized the TV value web. The platform focuses our attention from Facebook to Instagram on video and imagery and enhances emotional appeals — close to buttons — to logical ones. Instead of a quest for knowledge, we are committed to a persistent, though unconscious, approach of immediate acceptance by an audience. It reduces our interest by telling us precisely what already we want and think on the basis of our profiles and interests 
• The challenge now is to save Wikipedia and its promise to collect and maintain knowledge freely and openly in the midst of the conquest of both new and old television. This doesn't mean that it's time to surrender. However, the decrease of the web and the resulting Wikipedia must be understood to be part of a much greater culture transition that has just begun.
