You know how they say it takes 21 days to develop or get rid of a habit?? I guess I lost the habit of being attached to my phone but I developed the habit of always checking my social media accounts. I use Facebook more than anything to connect with peers, but if I want to discover anything interesting or see what’s going on in the world or the news, I turn to Twitter or Tumblr which then take me to other websites I browse through like Consequence of Sound, NPR, Highexistence among others..

Social media is a huge part of our world now. We wouldn’t know what was going on half way across the world if we didn’t have it. We wouldn’t even be interested in politics the way we are now. We wouldn’t even know where our old classmates are at in life if it wasn’t for social media deeming high school reunions pointless. On the other hand, too much social media can lead to depression on account of having expectations and comparisons to those of other people online.

I want to know what you guys think of the impact social media has had on our society. Good or bad? What impact it has had on our generation and the generations to come? Has it effected our ways of communication or has it improved?
