Social media

In today's generation social media is the way to get around. Almost everybody around the world does it. It's not a bad thing but it has had some major changes. It's become easier for us just to text for communication. We no longer really do the face to face talking or write letters. When it comes to social media and personal intimacy it has it's pros and cons. I personally have never used it for personal intimacy when it comes to relationships. There are so many websites now that can help you find someone you have things in common with, instead of just going out and meeting all kinds of people and going on many dates to try to find your souls mate. I do have some friends that have done online dating and some found out it wasn't for them and one actually is getting married to the guy she got matched up with. The bad thing about social media is people can lie and make themselves sound like they are anything they want to be. You can't trust everyone you meet online. The good things about social media is it can help you keep in contact with your friends and family that aren't around you anymore and that's what I mainly use Facebook for is friends and family, mainly if it weren't for my family that doesn't live around here, I wouldn't have a Facebook. It's a simple way of communicating and that's why we use it, the down fall though is that you can easily misinterprete what people say because you can't get any emotions through text. Social media has done some major impact on today's generation and to me I don't think it will get any better, I am not saying social media is a bad thing but it's definitely an easy way to communicate any time of the day.
