Generally, social networking sites can be hugely promising and beneficial in opening new friendships and vistas and knowledge of the world, but they are also fraught with peril, when young people are reckless or headless.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Don't get me wrong: I love social websites like Facebook and Twitter, but I think it creates way too many opportunities for young people to bully.
Social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr provide an unparalleled ability for people to stay connected in new and unique ways.
Social networking helps reach people easier and quicker.
Social media companies are a gold rush today, and time will tell if they survive. I have no use for them and can't see why people waste time on them. I much prefer physical meeting with true friends, so have never used the service.
It's a huge mistake not to embrace social media. We need to stay in touch and stay relevant to young people.
Twitter is worth it if you like tweeting. Same is true of Facebook. Or Pinterest. Nothing wrong with having a social presence.
These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad.
Social media can connect you with other people in so many wonderful ways - but it can also make you really sick of yourself.
Once social media was introduced, it enabled a new way for people, particularly the younger generation, to connect with one another, based on common interests, goals and even values.
I think everyone should have social media - all young people, at least.
