  1. All true. Although social media helps us get in touch with distant relations and long lost friends, the fact remains that it somehow hinders personal interaction

  8. I think that blogs are good because of various reasons. One is that the article said that it has "Opportunities for Business." This means that you can get a job on a blog. This has become a crucial part of our lives.

    1. I agree with you completely because you list the simple answer that it comes down to personal preference if your ok with the fact that people can see your posts that's fine but if your not, don't blog at all or just block other people from seeing it.

  51. I think social media is beneficial because it allows people to be able to see what other people are doing. I think social media allows us to show personal interests and activities. Yet, I think it can become a threat. Many people are not aware of the dangers of the internet. Many people decide to put personal information on the internet, or, include videos or pictures that show where they are; and some people post inappropriate or illegal content. The opinion is technically based on what information someone is willing to share.

  53. I agree that social media is harmful because you could get addicted to it and get unhealthy by only wanting to be online. Also, it is very unsafe. And you could be isolated.

  55. I agree that social media is harmful mainly because many people can strain their eyes from the screens and it is also unhealthy for children and adults as well. Social media is unsafe because you can meet someone online that you don't know and you could give away secret information that can lead to dangerous affects on people and their homes and families.

  64. I agree that social media is both harmful and helpful. Social media is helpful because you can see what is happening everywhere else than your city. Also you can communicate with others that don't have a cell phone(me) like on Facebook messenger. I normally talk to my mom and friend on Facebook. Social media is also harmful because anonymous people can hack into your account and take your identity and find where you live.

  65. I disagree and agree with you because there could be someone picking on what you posted. Also there is bad stuff on there for little kids to see. I agree because you can get in touch with your friends and see what they did during there day.

  66. I think that social media is good and bad. Social media is good because you can meet your old friends on instagram or something and chat. It is Bad too because social media can get addicting and it can distract you and take your mind off of things.
