Social Media

http://socialmediaissues.net/author/gabriels-blog-2/

The blog above discusses the issues of social media today and how it is the center of many lives. The author Gabriel talks about how social media is rising to new groups and networks. He states the facts that all these people connecting through social networks is an awesome thing but it is to the point where some people have not even met before.

This blog is a little different then the one above. This is describing how Facebook new additions are expanding to the new reaction button. It discusses how it could effect marketers and how they can now officially see how their users feel about their market. 

The blogs both have negative and positive opinions on Facebook that I can relate to. In my opinion social media is booming right now. I know I spend 80% of my time on my phone scrolling through my Twitter feed and looking at what the newest Facebook post is. Growing up we never had any type of social media. It was rare for you to even have a computer. I feel like social media is taking over the world and no one is seeing the real world just what they believe on Facebook. There is bullying and there is destruction that happens through social networking and it devastating to see how things are so out of control. But I do see the perk of having it. You can stay in contact with so many family members and friends. I know some people who have met their sole mates through social media and it is hard to believe it has come this far.
