Social media can be very positive and negative depending on how people use it. I use to be on social media all the time, and I never seen time fly by so fast. You get so consumed into it, you lose track of what you’re suppose to do and don’t know where your day has went. But besides the mind control it can have on you, the positive about social media is everything is so much easier to access. Anything you need to know, want to be up to date with or need to reasearch is literally at the palms of your hands. New is everywhere and even newspapers have an app with Apple that lets you subscribe to whichever new paper you read and send you updates. Tommy Landry states he uses Twitter to get news due to it’s immediate access to other sources. Social media is like the extra information/ more detailed version of the news that newspapers choice to cut out of their stories.
Social media is also good for small businesses, “a company had to pony up thousands or even millions of dollars to be heard in most cases.” But now social media gives “mom and pop” shops a voice, to portray their visions to everyone, without needing millions todo so. It also gives you connectivity with people worldwide, which allows people to communicate with each other on topics, ideas, give advice and share images. It’s a good source of networking,so people can get noticed for their talents or their companies.
The negative about social media is the hate, negative energy gets put out there with mean comments. People also pro try them selfs as something their not. “All talk, no action.” People use social media to hide who they are.
Jobs also use social media as a way to check your background… even things from your past. Which is unfair, cause people change, they grow. I’m sure most people can say they’re not the same person completely a couple years ago. And isn’t it unfair to be judged when you’re not in a work environment?
