A Reflection on Social Media
Social media, in recent years has provided people with fast, convenient ways to communicate with other people from around the world.

They create a comfortable and entertaining atmosphere for people to interact with each other. They can even be thought of as virtual playgrounds where people can hang out, meet each other, and even play different games with each other.

I also have a chance to connect with new people. It is amazing how some I’ve met some of my best friends through social networking, particularly Facebook.
