Satire Project Update, 3/18/2017

Coming to consensus in a large group of people where everyone has their own ideas and suggestions is difficult. The six of us are all eager to create something interesting, but we are just as equally confused about what we want to accomplish with out skit. So far, we've decided that our project will have a news report format, and the topic of the report will we a new website that allows teenagers to meet new people, since they're having difficulty doing so in real life because of their addiction to social media. The "solution" to their "addiction" is ironic, and we believe that it is possible to play out the skit in a humorous, lighthearted way. Personally, I'd like to touch upon the reason for teenagers' addiction to their phones and computers -- for one, the amount of stress they receive on the daily basis from school and family forces kids to search a "safe haven" outside of reality. However, I'm not yet sure if and how we could manage to insert these reasons, but I'd be happy if we did because they would add an underlying "truth" about today's world.
