Social Media

Social media is used everyday, you see children, teenagers, adults and some grandparents using it now a days. It has so many social media site in the world. It's crazy to see what is yet to come and be the next best thing. How ever, the sites that are the most popular in the world right now are as follow;- Facebook  with 900 million, - Twitter 310 million,  - Linked In with 255 million, - Interest with 250 million - Google+ with 120 million...this is the URL address from where I have received my statistics http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social-networking-websites. The real questions is if social media is taking over our lives... In my opinion, I believe that it will give you opportunity's and also lower your opportunity's. The reason why I believe that it could give you opportunity's in your life is because it could benefit you to get noticed for college and/or university, it helps people advertise for there job. Also it helps police track criminals across the world. When people are missing it helps get the word out if you've seen them or not, it helps you keep a social life with your friends and family who do not live close to you. It can help benefit for people that don't know the answer to something. Social media helps raise awareness for sickness. Social media helps you know the stuff you didn't know before and some stuff it helps you with . Also it can have some cons about social media. They have people who are good at hacking people on social media and there have a lot of people who are not good out there who can really hurt you in real life and find all your information and track you down and find you in real life.Cyberbullying can take place on social media sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Instagram. I have heard of people getting in big trouble for bullying people on the web. You have to be careful on what you say on social media because if one day you go for a job and you had bully or got in a fight or used language that they do not like you won't get that job. Social media has lots of problems with cyber bullying, it has lots of death because people committing suicide because someone had post something and kept abusing them on social media . For example I have seen on the news about this girl named Amanda Todd who had took her own life because of the the stuff what have been posted on social media.  Its sad to hear that all everyone does is go on social media, no one goes outside a lot with there friends don't have conversation with there friends, some people don't even know how to interact with people in personnel because they are so use to talking to them behind a screen. Kids now a days only stay on social they don't even go outside really to play or go get there friends and go to the park, make up games play sports . I remember when i was younger I was outside doing whatever I could think of to stay outside and do activities. Now a days you hardly see kids running around at the parks with there friends , now a days there texting  each other when there beside each other hanging out or on there phone the hole time they're hanging out. Social media change us for the better but also for the worst . Written by Dershahn
