Social Media

Social Media is how we communicate with others online. We use it to see whats going on in other peoples lives for example: old friends or celebrities for example. Social Media is also used to tell people when certain events are on or an album is on sale.

Some popular social media sites/apps are; Youtube, Facebook,Twitter & Google+.

Like most things on the internet, social media has its pros and cons:

Some pros of using social media:

-You can connect with people all around the world
-You can meet new people or talk to old friends you haven't seen in a while
-You can notify people about events such as: concerts or livestreams 

Some cons of using social media:

-Catfishing
-People can be anonymous and post whatever they want/say whatever they want

As a great man once said, with great power comes great responsibility! So be careful on social media sites, you don't know who or what is watching you.

Some tips for staying safe on social media:

-Don't give out personal information
-If you're meeting anyone on the internet in real life, skype them or ask them for some proof of identity!
