social media

My perception of social media, well there is a lot I can say about it, but to sum it up, I think its one of the best things to hit the internet. Iv been on Facebook since it started, and since it has grown to the size it is today, it has help me and many other connect with families and friends that are too far away or that we might not have known we had. Other sites like twitter keep my self and many others up to date with all the news and other trends that are going on in the world that we might not know about, for example, Beyoncé just had her baby, now I would of never known about it if it wasn’t for the twitter trends that were going around. I don’t think social media is a fad, because its growing even larger, more and more individuals are coming on to social media sites like Twitter, YouTube, and FaceBook to tell the world their stories or show us their side of living and the things that impact their lives. It shows a lot of us what’s really going on in the world and not what the media says is happening around the world. It’s taking us from being in a little bubble, and showing us that there is a lot more out there than what meets the eyes. Skype and Facebook helps me connect with family I have in Brazil, Guyana, Barbados, and Venezuela through video chat, so I can actually see them without being there. I personally think that Social media is one of the greatest things that has be introduces to our modern day society because without it I wouldn’t of met a lot of my family members and wouldn’t be able to connect with friends that have moved away to different countries for school.
