8. Pros of Social Media
When using social media, it can be good and bad. It helps people communicate with people
from the past or who live far away, but at the same time, it can be bad for a variety of
reasons. Looking at the good side of social media, it makes it easier for people to keep in
touch with those who live far away. People who moved away from their hometown, which
they grew up and graduated in, can keep up with what old friends are doing in their life.
Social media is also a good way to share photos of your vacations so that all of your friends
can see.
For example, If anyone’s has friends that moved even further away. The only way she has
been able to see what is going on in their lives is with social media.
Several news companies have started joining the social media because it is a quick way to
release news to the public. A lot of times, if there is breaking news during the middle of the
day, these stories will be released on social media because most people can get on and view
the stories online. This also helps for those who aren't home when the news comes on
television.
