Welcome to my blog!

On my blog I posted videos, pictures, and information and facts on social media and how it affects people. I mainly focused my research on the positive and negative ways social media impacts society. I found that it can be very helpful and useful but it can also be very detrimental. I learned that when used recklessly and not carefully it can ruin someone’s life. It can lead to addiction, behavior issues, and even mental disorders. The problem is that social media is easy to misuse and people don’t realize that it affects so many others. But I also learned when used responsibly it can be a great tool for society. It can help solve crime, help other people, bring communities together, and stay in touch with friends and family. I agree that there are many positive and negative sides to social media, and I believe it’s all about using it moderately and responsibly. I learned a lot writing this blog and I hope you can learn more about social media from reading it:)

Jack Vale's Social Media Experiment

  Jack Vale does an experiment on social media by searching the closest Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook posts to his current location and freaks people out by making them think he knows personal information about them.  It just shows how unaware we are of how much personal information we put online and that anyone can see it.  What's scary is that people can see the location of where you posted, so really anyone could stalk you if they wanted. This video might make you think a little differently about social media!
