Documentary Individual Initial Idea

My individual initial idea was to do a short documentary on the rapid technological evolution of social media and how it is affecting and causing changes within our society.  I would present both negative and positive aspects in order to portray a balanced argument and then leave it up to the audience to decide which side of the fence they fall down on.  I'd use examples of current social media platforms such as twitter, instagram, tumblr, etc. to show how these rapidly developing and changing social platforms are changing peoples ideas and ideologies.  The 21st century social media is so fast moving and so wide spread that it has become a social global hub for news and information on just about anything which is having a big effect on the way current media such as television, radio, etc. works and goes about gathering information and attempting to keep up with social media.  The development of social media has also changed the way we communicate through instance messaging, public social updates, voice calls and global public distribution of information; this wide spread distribution of information has essentially broken down borders between countries and closed the gaps between our different continents, not only does it do this effectively but it does it at such a fast pace and updates itself so rapidly that it can hardly be controlled.  I personally have some strong views on this topic that are both good and bad, I would relish an opportunity to present these points as a well balanced argument.
