How Social Media Has Changed The World.

Social Media has changed the woorld by letting the world stay in touch. Social Media is all over, there is no way of getting around it. You would have to ask yourself why would you want to, Social Media keeps us in touch with the ones we love and the ones we can't see when we want to. Social Media, also let's us use video calling to talk face-to-face with the one's we just have to know how they are doing, like our children who might be in the military, or live far away from us. We all know how valuable Social Media can be, but it does have its downfalls also. Most of our people, no matter the generation, they will not know how to communicate on a face-to-face basis, because they have never had to. All they have ever known is to communicate online. I am not saying they are stupid, they have just spent more time communicating online instead of in person.

This could be a real concern, because everyone needs to know how to communicate in person. Then we also have, that this might be the only way someone can communicate. Just saying, like when we have a natural disaster, this could be the only way of communicating. Here just a few months back, we had some bad things going on in the news and Social Media was their only way of getting the news out. There is just so much "Good" to come from Social Media, but does it outweigh the "BAD."
Well, the good news is that it isn't going anywhere, there will always be something for us all to talk about. We will always have family, friends, co-workers, relatives that live far away, and God knows whoever else we want to talk to, online. There are people that have their own little groups of people online, because more than likely, someone has said something they didn't like, or didn't agree with them for some reason, so they stay within their own little groups that do agree with them. We all are never going to agree on everything, so there will always be someone out there that doesn't want to talk to us. We just really need to take it with a grain of salt and go on.

 

The thing of it is Social Media is one sure way of getting things out there. Something can be going on in the United States and it will be around the world and back before you know it. If we disagree with our political status, we can always go online to one of the Social Media networks and we will know in a little while how many people agree with us, and how many don't. It is just a faster way of getting our opinion across. If there is a child been kidnapped, we can put out an Amber alert and as soon as that Amber alert goes up, someone will take it to the Social networks. This could mean the difference between a child being saved or maybe never being found. If something goes wrong in your own family, Social Media is a way of letting family members or friends know about it, when without Social Media they might not for a week or two. I know that everything is not great about Social Media, but I believe there is more good than bad.

 

 

 



 

Social Media has changed our world. It makes it faster for us to contact someone we love, or someone we really just need to be in touch with. There is really nothing wrong with Social Media, just don't put all your personal information on there for the world to see. Whether we believe it or not, there are still people out there that will take advantage of that information. Let us all enjoy Social Media, not be a victim to it.
