Social Media

The social media is growing very fast. It is growing so fast that I believe it can catch up to you if you don’t get ready. As the technology grows, the faster the people join it. For example it took 35 years for 50 millions users to use the radio and it only took 3 years for the ipod to reach that many users. The social media has become a way of communication. I believe we communicate more by the devises then face to face. The social media has negative things and positive things.

The positive part of social media is that it makes the people more aware of what is around the world. The people can communicate with people around the world and learn things about their culture and traditions. Also you can meet interesting people that can expand your knowledge of things. You can also meet a partner, where you will fell in love and get married. Business manager can check the interests of society and can produce and sell what the people want. Also the manager could contact the people to offer them their services. It can also open a lot of career opportunities. For example you can post that you are looking for a job. A boss of an important company sees it and contacts you. Those are some of the positive things about this revolutionary technology.

The negative things about having an expanding social media are that you are open for everybody to see your private life. You have no privacy. When you are looking for a job, some companies will Google you or find you in facebook to see what kind of person you are. What is sad about the social media is that the most frequent activity on the web is porn. As people can share good constructive opinions, other use the media to destroy or show bad things about other people. Now a days your are not as safe as before. There have been a lot of stories of kids being kidnapped; their aggressors said that they were able to kidnap the kid because they saw the information by facebook. Those are some negative parts of the social media. I think that if we be careful what we put in the web, it can help you a lot. I think it will become a part of our society so we have to start learning about it.

  1. Leoncia, your social media post is amazing! It is really impressive how you captured all those facts about how technology has advanced. You also mentioned that it is growing so fast that it can catch up to you if you don’t get ready, but I disagree with that. I believe social media will get you even though you are not ready. On the other hand, I loved the rest! :)
