Social Media

There is no doubt that social media has really changed the game of how people interact with each other. There are a lot of pros and cons that come with social media. The negatives of social media is that it now allows people to stalk you and almost get to much into your life without even having to know you that well. There is also in a way a kind of negative peer pressure surrounding social media. I remember back a couple years ago when I didn't have social media and I really got hated on it. Once I got it I soon then realized that people really portray the way they want to be seen rather than who they really are. I also have seen relationships destroyed by social media just by people ranting about their relationships and then their partner seeing it later and getting upset. These arn't really negatives you can fix but I do believe that people should really simplify and learn that social media is a great tool but takes a lot of responsibility and respect. There are of course some positives. The biggest one being that  people now have access to others that they don't get to see everyday. Because of social media I personally have been able to talk and keep up with my friends and family. I also have met some girls that I have talked to for time with social media, so as you can see, if you take out the negatives, social media can be a tool of productivity.

  1. I think you did a good job on this blog post. Do you think that the pros of social media outweigh the cons? You put in some good detail on how people can be portray in many different ways, to look way better then they truthfully are. This makes that person live in one big lie. Plus with the internet being a newer entity it is way harder for people to get caught doing illegal things on it. I liked that you but your own personal experience with the internet in this blog and how it has impacted your life in a positive way. Over all good job on the blog post .
