Thoughts On Social Media: Marielle Montero

 Social media is an interesting phenomenon of the past two decades. Essentially, it is a haven in which people can interact with friends, family, and even co-workers. Although social networks can be fun, it is important to be careful and SMART about how you use them. Avoid using your full name, do not disclose personal information (such as your address, phone number, etc.). Also, maintain professionalism on the website, especially if your real name is tied to your account. I personally use a fake last name so that prospective employers cannot find me. Always remember to represent yourself in a way that is favorable; never give anybody bad things to say about you, especially on a website where they can show other people as proof to speak negatively about you.

I think social networks do not truly bring people together. I do think that they help people stay in contact, but I am all about face to face interaction and conversations are much deeper and interesting in person for me.
