Social Media's Overall Impact on Society

 This week’s blog is a little different from what you typically see. I made a podcast! It is about the impact social media has in our society today. We all know that sense social media made its entrance in the world, it has made a huge impact on our lives. This can be good for everyone to listen to as I touch upon some positives and negatives social media has had.

    There is definitely a balance to be found between using social media and not being consumed by social media. A few years ago, people were so consumed with the new technology that we began shutting each other out. As time goes on, the study of what too much social media can do has been published to the public. I personally feel that recently, people are trying to be in the moment of life and put their phones away. It's nice to see that not all values are lost, for example, not being on your phone at the dinner table. Hopefully these studies continue and people will learn to use social media as a resource and not a lifestyle.
