Amidst a world consumed my technology, apps focused on content sharing have taken over the internet. From Facebook, to Instagram, people of our time love social media and everything that comes with it from fame, to entertainment, etc. One such app has made its rise to the top with a recognizable name that most everyone has heard of: TikTok. Released in September of 2016, TikTok has grown into one of the largest video/content sharing platforms across the board.

Social media to me has always been a form of self-betterment, and not for the purposes of seeking attention or fame, but rather as an outlet to come out of my own shell. Being tossed into a world where the internet was booming, I learned a lot about myself and gained confidence throughout my years dabbling in social media. Similarly, this app has created an outlet for people to freely express themselves and share their cultures, hobbies, stories, etc. The world is becoming a connected one, one step at a time. It begins with short online videos, but I believe proper usage of the internet can lead to a world without borders.
