Social Media

    I think that social media has highly changed the world. People now can contact people anywhere. Hotmail isn't used that much because you can email in Facebook. And everyone has Facebook! I even have Facebook since I was 12. I use it probably every day to stay informed. After watching this video I saw that if Facebook were a country it would be the 4 largest in the world. For me, that is very significant. I
 was also very amazed by the fact that Ashton Kutcher and Ellen DeGeneres have more followers on Twitter than the entire population of Ireland, Panama and Norway.
     Of course there is a down side to all this media. There have been many occasions in which people put to much information on their page. That helps the criminals find you easier. I read in the newspaper the other day about 2 girls who met 2 guys on Facebook. According to them they lived in Guadalajara. One day they said they were going PV so they invited them to Galerias. They met and after that nobody saw them again. About a month later they found one in Tijuana raped and homeless.
      I  do agree in the fact that schools do need to prepare for all this media. Teacher are going to start putting homework and assignments all online. Kids will have laptops instead of notebooks. Everything will now be online.
