Most of the things that I know about social media is from reading, the internet, and other people.  There are things about social media that I never thought of.  One thing is that most people who have a computer, are on some form of social media site.  Facebook, twitter, linked, google+ to just name a few.  It is a money make for some.  It is a way to get votes for some.  some a way to find a job. And it is a way to stay connected with others for some. 

When I say it is a money maker, that just means that companies are now using social media for advertisement, not just television or radio.  This lets them reach more people.  You know if you are  like some, when the advertisement comes on the television you turn the channel.  Candidates running for an office are now using social media.  It lets them reach a different audience rather than just using the normal ways. Social media is always going to be a good way for people to stay in touch with each other.  That is not going to change.

Some of the information that I have learned, I learned last semester in one of my classes.  From the reading and watching videos that we had to do.  I do believe that some of the information on these sites is reliable good information.  Some of the things that are posted are not so reliable.  For instance, advertisement is just what it is.  It is advertisement.  They want you to buy something.  Watching a candidate running for office.  Well!!! You have to decide if they are telling the truth or not.  Businesses looking for people to work for them.  It is a good way to find a job and make connections.  As for the personal things on these sites. Sometimes you just have to say, Well!!!

You have to decide for yourself if what is posted on social media sites is the truth or not.  Look at me writing this post.  If you are reading this blog, do you believe what I have written or not. Some things are reliable and some things are not.
