My view on social media.

I believe that the social media is the biggest shift change since the industreal revolution. There are many benefits to the social media as well as many negative things. The positive things about the social media, like facebook for example is that you can communicate with family and friends from far distances. I have family members who don't live here and Canada but each day I'm able to communicate with them using facebook.
The negative things about the social media is that it is also teaching people to communicate in the wrong way, a lot of people start to communiate only using these things instead of communicating in person. It is also very time consuming using the social media. I always find myself using it when i should be doing somthing thats important. I also find that it is teaching children from a younge age to use things like facebook, which could be very dangerous if they do not know how to use it properly. Just the other day I was talking to my cousin about facebook and he told me that he got facebook when he was in grade 3, if you think about that its a really younge age to get facebook. Most children wont know how to set up there facebook so that the public can't see it.
I think that the social media is more negative then it is positve.
