1. MEDIA AND ADVERTISEMENTS MAKING
YOU BELIEVE THAT SOCIAL NETWORKS
IS ALL THERE IS ON THE INTERNET.
Well how about I prove them wrong? Let’s take a trip through the
slides and I will tell you exactly why Social Networks aren’t worth
your time… AT ALL!
2. BEFORE SOCIAL NETWORKING
Was internet always used for social networking?
If not, then what was it used for??
Is it true that people nowadays only go online because of social
network sites??
Is that all to it to the internet?? If not, then what else is there??
3. Lets say you don’t have facebook or you are not allowed to use
social networking sites, what to do???
I. Play online games, for example: Miniclip.com
II. Read interesting articles about stuff you're interested in, for
example: damninteresting.com
III. Shop online, you can find anything, and everything you could
need for sale, online, whether on ebay or amazon.com!
IV. Browse funny pictures, there are thousands of hilarious pictures
on the internet, such as: funcage.com or 9gag.com
V. Funny or educational videos, on youtube.com or vimeo.com
There are about over 555 MILLION sites on the internet, don’t be
scared to explore…
4. Point being is, you don’t really need some Facebook account or
twitter
account to have fun on the internet! All you need is a little
imagination on
your Google search and you could get whatever you want or do
whatever
you want on the internet! Internet is another planet, another world,
another galaxy perhaps! And we are covering our selves with social
media
obsession! Don’t be afraid to explore the internet. Go big!
