Content: Social media has also made it easier for us to express ourselves. They are numerous ways we can express ourselves, not only to our friends but to the outside world.

Before social media, you could have an opinion but you could only tell a few people close to you, and now, the story is different. Within a few minutes, thousands could know about your opinion. Social media has also made it easier for us to track people down. I know what some of my former high school peers are up to even when I have not even been in touch with some of them for years. It’s that easy. There are seemingly endless sources we can search to access the information we need to find the people we have to find.
