Thoughts On Social Media: Janine Miller

 My advice for students when using social media is simply that not everything belongs online. Once something goes viral people all over the world have access to it. Social media is becoming a little bit too personal. People are concerning themselves too much with their persona online as opposed to in the real world. Moreover, with these new location features people can access your exact location, which is not only unnecessary  but extremely dangerous. 

However, social media isn't all bad. It can allow important information or current event to spread to a massive amount of people quickly or rally up support for a cause or protest. It also can be a median for socially inept people to express their ideas and beliefs. It even brings people together  to a small extent. Whether it brings together people with similar interests or physically brings people together who have seen each other in years and wouldn't be able to communicate otherwise. Social media can be either positive or negative all depending on how it's utilized, so post cautiously.
