To be totally honest, social media has not really had a big impact on my life. Actually, it depends on what kind of social media we are talking about. If we are talking about Facebook or MySpace, then no, it really has no impact. The only things these sources do for me are allow me to set up dates with my girlfriend or set up events for me and my friends. Other than that, all they do is enable me to chat with people that I could otherwise just call on the phone or go visit. All it seems to be is a site that is loaded down with games and other marketing tools that try and get you to spend your hard earned money on stuff that you may or may not use once and then throw it out because it would cost more to ship it back than the product is worth. This is why I do not understand how some people can sit on the computer all day, every day and just play around on the computer and then complain that they do not have enough money to pay their bills. I think if you use it properly, then social media can be a very good thing. It has helped me a little bit. I have been able to stay in contact with old friends from Georgia. I used to know a ton of people when I lived down in Georgia so I thought it was kind of nice that I was able to continue with our friendship. All in all, I guess I can say that social media has not had an overwhelming impact on my life. It has had just enough of an impact for me to enjoy the one hour a week I actually do use it.
