First of all, social media can ruin your relationships. According to, Erik Qualman's book called "Socialnomics" states that, "one in five divorces are blamed on Facebook." That means they could be physically looking for someone, or just over reading but 1 in every five! That means if there are twenty in a room, four of them would be divorced. There could be more, but there could be less. "One in five people met online."(Erik Qualman) There are twenty people in a room four of them met online, which could possibly mean their relationship is ruined because of being online. So, it could be on actual dating sites or it could be on social media. "Two in five gay people met online." (Erik Qualman) Ten people in a room and four of them met online. The other six met somewhere …show more content…
else. Since, media ruins relationships, four people now are single. Along with social media ruining relationships, parents on social media give their child a shadow account.
Second of all, "92% of children have a shadow account." (Erik Qualman) That means 8% doesn't.
Babies don't need a social media, they are not famous. They are too young. They don't even talk yet. "4% of parents think kids check Facebook ten times a day." (CBS news Kelly Wallace) 96% actually know how much their kids check Facebook. People should tell their parents, parents are not scary, it is not like they will do anything anyways. Parents just want to know. Then, they will understand. "22% actually check Facebook." (Kelly Wallace) 78% don't check Facebook, most people don't use social media, or don't use Facebook at least. Some people don't like
it.
Lastly, people would do anything for social media. Erik said," Egypt babies are named after Facebook and Twitter." That is like naming your baby Wasatch Mountain. Or like naming your kid Taylor Swift. "Social gamers will buy six million dollars in virtual games." (Erik Qualman) That money could be used to buy a house, or food and water, or even, clothes. "Kindergartens are learning on Ipods."(Qualman) Thats just going to ruin their eyes, or rot their brains faster. They are not going to hear squeaking of the chalkboard, the worst sound older people have ever heard. The generation is slowly making the world die.
In conclusion, social media networks are hurtful to the modern society. My three points are Facebook ruins relationships, most children have a shadow account from their parents, and people would do anything for social media. So, why would you use social media when all it is doing is ruining the planet and this generation?
