Social Media

     Social media is becoming something that people use everyday or different reasons. People can use it to make connections or network with other people. They can use it to keep track of their company as well as others, they can hold meetings with five people in five different countries, they can keep up with family and friends without having to go see them. Social media has grown rapidly and nearly become a necessity in the past decade.
    In the assignment we were asked to post things that related to our major. During a normal week i rarely use my facebook account but i decided to use that for my assignment. I read through lots of articles from many different companies and learned lots of interesting things going on in the Ag world.
     This assignment helped me realize how easy it is to connect with people, companies, businesses, etc. I noticed that i was taking in a lot of facts about different companies without even noticing it.
     I used to think facebook was a waste of time. After social media week I can see where it can be useful. That doesn't mean everyone uses it that way.
   In my opinion social media is both negative and positive. It is positive because it is so easy to bring people together. It can be negative when you lose the desire to connect with people face to face or when you become addicted to checking your facebook to see what others are doing.
