Does anyone still remember a world without social media? It is hard to believe that only a little over a decade ago, our way of life was really different from the way it is now. Although, they were some social media sites long before that, most of the population did not really see the need or use for it. Most did not even have the access to them. It wasn’t until Facebook, Twitter and smart phones came along when things really started to change. Needless to say that in 2017, social media has forever changed the way society works, whether it’s the sharing of an idea, the communication of news, or the availability of a product or service. Social media is now used in almost every part of our lives. I am not a huge fan of social media myself, partly because I prefer to live life in the real world, and partly because am naturally a private individual. And yet here I am, using social media to let you hear my opinion on social media. The benefits of social media are very hard to ignore.
