Catfish

     You never know who to trust now and days.  In the movie Catfish Nev falls in love with someone he has never met in person.  The girl, "Megan", sounded perfect to him, and she had so many good ways to make him believe the stories she was telling him about his life.  An example is how she was the artist herself but the story was that it was the art work of the daughter.  The voice from the phone call was real as well as the address where she sent the art work from.  That was until him and his friends started noticing something odd.  They went on the search to see who this person really was.  Their confrontation was really mature, and they used this as a lesson for themselves but were generous to show this to the world to try to make people aware of this situation that can happen to just anyone.
     Now, thanks to Nev's experience, there has been a show created for people to find out themselves if they are being catfished.  It is sad that these generations have even gotten to this stage.  A show created specifically to resolve a problem like this.  Many people chose to catfish people for a number of different reasons.  This leads us to a lot of questions like:  Who are they? What do they want to get out of this? Why do the do this?  
     It's a good thing ONLY in the way that you get to like the person without seeing how they physically look.  Wait... but you do "see" them through pictures.  Yes, but whether the person is really who they claim they are or not you still got to the talking part all because their pictures were somehow appealing to you.  But wait... AGAIN.  They are also lying about who they are anyways, that is personality wise.  So this is when this becomes a bigger issue.  They do not look like what the pictures show and they are lying about their lives and who they are.  Therefore, this is ALL a lie.  
     It's a good thing technology exists though, because it has helped a lot in finding out who the person really is thanks to image searches.  Unfortunately, these are things we have to deal with now and days and take prevention for.  We have also learned to use the internet and social media carefully.
     Is it scarier being the "catfish" or "catfished"?
