Thoughts On Social Media: Shawn Marshall Jr

Social media can have a variety of effects on today’s generation. The best advice I can give about social media is use it in moderation. It can be a great way of communicating as well as keeping you informed about the world around you but in a slight second it can turn into a major distraction and automatic addiction. While certain doses of social media can be informative, a vast majority is gossip or entertainment, so too much social media can cloud your mind. 

Benefits of social media is being informed on modern day situations, trends, etc. as well as learning topics that can help you relate to your peers more. Unfortunately these topics can become more important than other factors in a person’s life. Also gossip spreads rapidly due to social media and can cause a lot of negative impacts before anything is clarified. I feel as though social media does bring people together because it makes me converse and when you converse you bond. So whether the subject is positive or not it causes a bonding relationship that has helped this generation communicate with one another.
