Media has always
fascinated me; my family has always been bug movie and TV buffs, so they raised
me to love media. Fast forward to now where internet media has become the great
new advent of this day and age. I love it as well because I love talking and getting
to know new people and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are
great ways to branch out to old friends while also making new ones.
Social media has changed our world by making it more
interactive. It is a great tool for businesses, schools, and other
organizations to advertise their mission and purpose. They can also keep them
update on events. This way their followers do not have to wait, but can find
all the information on their computer screen. I’m able to keep in touch with
family that I normally wouldn’t talk to for months. People make connections and
engage with people they normally wouldn’t outside of work and school.
However,
I do believe that people are relying on their social media a little too much. I
know personally that I spend way too much time on Pinterest, Facebook, and
Twitter; and I don’t even know why. We have now morphed into this world where
we need to know what’s going on all the time, which isn’t always a good thing. There
are studies they believe Facebook causes depression and the incidents of cyber
bullying. I do believe social media has many advantages, but there are people
out there that abuse it.
