Do you have a Facebook? Twitter? Instagram? Pinterest? These
are all examples of social networking! But not only can social networking help your
life, it can also destroy it too! The social networking article on BigFin
states, “Mobile phones and the effects of social media use are changing the way
we communicate and get information. Smartphones, iPad, tablet, PCs and wireless
technology have grown social media from an interesting curiosity to a fact of
life.” Students no longer sit in class socializing or sitting quietly waiting
for the teacher to show up – we all are on our phones or tablets scrolling
through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
Social networking has risen in the world we live in today.
It also helps if you need opinions about things. Nowadays, social networking is
no longer just for communicating, but also good for businesses. Even colleges
analyze students’ social networking pages to determine how well students will
perform in school.
People don't even ring the doorbell or knock anymore. Most people just text or call saying they are outside your house.
In this article, a
New York Times columnist hosted a dinner party where he received a text message
in the middle saying, “Hey, I see you’re having people over. OK if I stop by?”
It puzzled him how that person knew he was having a dinner party. Then when he
looked at his guests, he said, “my friends posted seven photos on Path, sent
six Twitter messages (five with photos), six photos on Instagram and two people
checked in on Foursquare. When I added up the collective follower counts of the
people in the room, my little dinner party was potentially viewed by more
people than The Late Show on CBS:
over three million.” His personal dinner party was no longer private.
