*Social Media*

Ok, so in class the other day we discussed the topic of social media. We all basically came to the conclusion that social media tends to have a major impact on many people throughout the world. One of the many social networking sites that are being searched everyday are Wikipedia, Myspace, Facebook, Youtube etc... I actually find it crazy, scary, and interesting all at the same time about how the internet has surfaced its way to the top in the communications charts. I remember during my childhood years of when I started commincating with people through the computer, and that was when AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) was popular at the time. From that moment on, I was introduced to other social search engines that led me to comminicating with family and friends, and friends of friends. We meet so many people through social media, and little by little it begins to grow on us until we're hooked. As much as it has a major impact in our lives, social media does indeed have its ups and downs. It could benefit us as far as searching for a career, and getting in touch with people that we know, but then the cons about it is that the same way it could make us, it could certainly break us, Example: The Starwars kid (he dropped out of highschool). Anyway, I just want to sum it up by saying that I Love the Social Media, it serves a good purpose for many of us, and it is a great way to get updates with what takes place in the world. Adios!!!
