My thoughts on social media websites
People focus to heavily on the disadvantages of social media and not on the benefits or the advantages of social media. They like to say that it makes us disconnected from the world, that we don't talk to each other anymore, which is a lie, we have never been more connected then ever before. If I wanted to I could talk to someone in Oregon all the way from Maine, Or to someone in India all the way from Germany. Not just in communication but in consumerism and in every day life. We have used social media to promote awareness to political problems, such as the problems in Sudan or China. Social media has also been used to advocate for better habits, that promote a healthy life, these include the no smoking advertisement, get help hotline advertisement and college promotions. Social media is full of advantages that are overlooked due to fear of the unknown.
The fact that you decided to focus on the advantages of social media websites rather than the disadvantages is great. I agree with the fact that it does make us more connected than ever, and even helps us socially online.
