If someone says, "Facebook me!” people are usually not surprised. Because, new terminology has come into our life such as "Facebook, Instagram, Twitter...” Are they so beneficial for us to use it every day, every hour? Most of the time its teenagers who are on social media all the time, especially Instagram or twitter nowadays, constantly checking our phones or updating our feed. It can be dangerous yet beneficial for everyone, Depending on how you use it. One beneficial way would be reconnecting with old friends. And then some dangerous ways would just be getting to caught up in it and not focusing in other things, more important stuff.

They didn’t have the ability to save a contact, you either had to memorize it or write it down. And no way was there internet or any social Medias. Today we have Facebook, and it’s great because you can look up anyone and find them and reconnect with them. Rather it be an old high school friend or just a stranger you met one day at a coffee place. Then adding them as a friend to continue to stay in touch with them as the years go on, it’s really a cool thing. Mark Zuckerberg sure knew what he was doing when he invented this site. But, hold on its not all good…
