Social Media, It's all About Me Dear.

Social media:

• The focus of this generation
• It's mine
• It's yours
• A platform to express yourself upon, but not having the confidence to ever fully do it because it's also a platform for keyboard warriors, or worse the screen shotters that discuss your social media things in private
• An easy way to keep in contact with the world, the world you care about, and the one that just exists around you 
• Where confidence can grow (100 likes on a selfie = fittest you've ever felt)
• or where confidence can be obliterated
• It's positive
• It's negative
• 'websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.' - google dictionary definition
• Another place for businesses to thrust themselves at you
• A grow bag for negativity and bullying
• The 21st Century's signature dish
• Where you can share/boast about/moan about your life
• The home of the #
• An app to share pics etc with people through
• How you earn a living 
• Aids education
• belittles the uneducated, and makes the educated lazy 
• It hurts
• It heals
• Helps people organise social movements
• makes people feel a need for social movements
• The first thing you see in the morning, the last thing you see at night

Excuse the random rambling, but after days of trying to make a more cohesive post about the affects of social media, I gave in to the fact that it isn't possible really. You either repeat what's already been said, or your message is becomes so garbled in trying to be individual, no one can understand it. Social media, is all of the things above, and you are more than welcome to add your own to the list. It isn't positive or negative, black or white, it's the rainbow over the grey areas of life.
