This document discusses how perception and self-image are everything in today's distracted, online world. Millennials are willing to sacrifice privacy to curate their ideal self-image and gain social acceptance on social media. Constant connectivity through smartphones encourages social comparison and influences behavior. People use social media to broadcast a perceived level of happiness, look adventurous through food photos, and show support for causes and companies.

However, it is unclear if constantly curating self-image online provides more value than real-world engagement and philanthropy. Clicks and likes are necessary for awareness but many people do not take further action.
