About the blog

Firstly, this is the first blog that I have ever done. I am creating this blog as a class project and this blog will mainly talk about the impact of social media on today's world. In just a few short years social media has taken the world by storm. From personal friends to business and news; social media is now the best place for marketing and advertising. It also is now the way to meet new friends, start relationships, and vice versa. First and foremost when I say social media the first thing that pops in peoples heads is probably Facebook, or twitter, or even both. Yes those are social media websites but social media doesn't only include sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, or Linkedin. But Games and Youtube are also part of social media. The evolution of social media has connected the world where as 50 years ago, social media was only localized around the neighborhood and in the city. Now keeping up with friends from your neighborhood and cities that you lived in has never been so easy. You can even meet someone from across the world by means of social media, I could be in the U.S. while the other can be in France, Italy, Germany etc. News travels faster because of social media, not only the official news that's displayed on the T.V. by CNN but even the little tiny news on who went to a certain party last night that you didn't go to. Even news about that embarrassing thing you did in class the other day. So what are the effects of social media onto our society? I mean everyone's on Facebook now, well nearly everyone. Can social media be the cause of relationship problems as well? Social media definitely can start relationships. Social media has changed our society, even though it hasn't felt like it.
