Social Media

Social Media is a very extensive topic. Now a days schools, business', and even families are using the internet and other things such as cellphones and TV. It is amazing to realize that 20-30 years ago these utilities were not available and today probably 70% of the worlds population is familiar with social media. In the next paragraphs, I will explain what we use social media for.

Many schools these days are now allowing kids to bring their laptops to school. Although other schools think that the students will get distracted because of Myspace, Twitter, Facebook etc... I think the fact that we can use these gadgets, such as Facebook, can benefit our grades. In projects I have used the gadgets to complete my homework. In my opinion, It is great to bring laptops to school under the condition you do not miss use the gadgets.

There have been some dangerous issues with Facebook and Myspace. Some kids have been kidnapped because they post all of their information on Facebook. This makes it really easy for the kidnappers to know where he/she is located. In fact, 5-6 months ago there was a kidnapping in Mexico City. This kid was the son of some hotshot business man. Later on after they caught the kidnappers, they admitted to use Facebook to get personal information. Hopefully kids now realize the consequences of putting personal information.

All in all social media has benefited the world tremendously. It has been great for all types of people. People can now contact each other from across the world via the internet. People just have to learn how to control themselves n and not put personal information on the internet. Once again, I can not stress enough that everybody should learn and be familiarized with social media.
