What is social media? Why do we use social media?
Examples: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Myspace
Social media consists of pages, websites, groups, that people can sign up to. Most people use these types of pages to keep up to date with the latest news of what's happening in the news, from your favourite bands, keep in touch with their friends, share photos, etc.
However, there are many disadvantages to these sites. People can remain anonymous and although some may see this as an advantage, if someone does remain anonymous, no one could really know who they are talking to or interacting with. Cyber bullying can also arise from this. Another disadvantage is that whatever you put up is 'out there'. Once it has been seen it can't be unseen which means that you must carefully choose what you wish for others to see.
