Nowadays, technology is our big tool, internet is everyones best friend and social media
is the new mean of communication between people. Since Mark Zuckerberg and other Harvard
students opened Facebook, millions and millions have created a Facebook profile. If this
phenomenon is happening, it is not because social media is bad for us. Every day, more and more
people become social media users because they want to connect with other in minutes.
Social media connects the world in different ways. In fact, according to a new survey,
36% of smartphone owners report using messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Kik or iMessage,
and 17% use apps that automatically delete sent messages such as Snapchat or Wickr (Duggan,
2015). These apps are developing social media which means that communication around the
world is being adapted to the social network and becoming the most used mean of
communication. For this, I think that social media gives us many facilities to get in touch. One of
them is that you dont need to be in the same place to talk with someone else. Communication is
essential, especially when we talk about families. However, communication could be difficult if
you or any of your relatives live far away, but now using social media you can interact with them
all the time and share your life. Furthermore, to connect the world means to be up to date with
news. In the past, people needed to wait a long time to know what was happening in the world.
Currently, a majority of U.S. adults 62% get news on social media, and 18% do so often,
according to a new survey by Pew Research Center (Gottfried and Shearer, 2016). This fact
shows the speed of communications trough social media. For this, I believe social media
In conclusion, social media is good for us because it is joining people worldwide. We live
in a world that evolves constantly, and social media is part of this process. In my opinion, social
media is one of the best inventions in our history. Now, we have this tool, we just need to use it
