Social Media

Soci@l Medi@ Effect


Social media is something that would affect the people the minute it started. Social media is the internet, I-pods, television, radio, and all sorts of electronic communicating in some way devices. Everything inside the internet is social media. Social media can be for many things like games, newspapers, blogs, etc. Some people think social media is a fad. This means that everything that shows up will later go or be forgotten. It is like a newspaper but involving people’s lives.

Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter are good examples of social media. All of this websites have dangerous features. In these 3 websites you make your own page and add personal stuff. You may also add friends and even people you don’t even know. This people can actually be kidnapers or something else looking in your webpage for some clue of where people live and stuff. Even people knowing this fact, they still write down personal messages and make videos of them and other friends. They also put a lot of pictures which kidnapers can actually use for identifying their victim. Even if you don’t have a Facebook account or something, your friends may include you in some pictures exposing you. Practically everybody is involved. If you get involved in the social media there are few ways to protect yourself. One of them is firewalls which try to block all viruses. Also porn is a big Issue in the social media. Being a minor or not, you can still see porn in the social media.

At the rate social media is growing, we will be learning from the internet instead of books in no time. This could drastically change everything. Books are very reliable although some of the same subject may be different. Still, in the social media there are all kinds of wrong information. As you can see, there are many ways to exposing to danger in the social media but not many ways of protecting yourself. Practically we will be ruled by this social media really soon. You may think it won’t happen but it probably will. There is no point in starting some sort of campaign against this. Social media is so big and powerful it cannot be stopped.

You have a problem with this class. This class talks a lot in other classes too. You are not the only one with this problem. You have a problem yourself which is that you are no strict enough. Some people play or go into Facebook when you even say they can not do that. You say that but they are only words. You should punish those people in some way. They don't want to learn but some do. If they do not want to learn, well just make them head to Salgado. They think they can take advantage of you. As a matter of fact, you do let them take advantage of you. They do this with all the teachers so they probably know how to handle you. Some teachers are starting to be meaner and more direct with them about their problems. This has made some people on our class think about what they do. You should also add the consequences that will happen if you are going to talk to them. If they still dont shut up then take them immediatly to Salgado. Next time they are in your class they will behave more. If this does not work then you keep sending them to Salgado until they have pretty bad grades. Probably at that point they will see what is going on. There are a lot of things you should change about your attitude. In conclusion you should just be stricter.

Family tree/reunion

I once went to a family reunion in Mexico. Almost all the family attended. It was kind of embarrassing because besides my brother, 2 babies, and me; we were the only children below 15 years old. We couldn't actually talk with other people. We definitely had not the same interests. I actually was at that reunion because they told me to go there. So I mostly sat in a chair and waited for time to pass by. I didnt socialize with anybody besides from my brother and parents.

Tree selection

I chose this tree because it was 1200x wide. It has many branches such as my family especially in the middle which is where there are more members. This tree would fit exactly.
