Social media has changed in the last few years. Going from 20 minutes on the computer to being signed in 24 hours a day. Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace has basically taken over everyone. Everywhere you look people are twitting or updating their status.
All of these social media connections have many down sides to them. For instance, Facebook is a newspaper filled with the latest gossip, new pictures, and information. It seems that if you want to find something out you must check out one of these accounts. Another down side is that there is literally no face to face communication anymore. Its either through texting or the web.Also, these accounts take away valuable time that could be used for something more important. More people are becoming addicted to these websites because they are constantly wanting to know things about people or wanting everyone to know everything about theirs. Another is that these accounts can cause more harm to people than good. For one instance, cyber bullying has increased through Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. That's not okay.
Though these websites have a lot of down falls, they do come with some good things. Facebook can reconnect with a family member or a long lost friend. Twitter can be good for distracting you from bad things and make you happier.
I believe social media can help me reach some of my goals as to finding opportunities I want to try out. It also could help me achieve the things I want to do for fun and LIFE live!
Lexi, you had some good insights into social media. I do think they're some more positives to social media, but I am glad that you can use social media in your goals and fun activities!
