Some of these may include opinion-based facts, biases on topics, and invalid information on the topic. We need to be wary of the information we get when we research topics online. We must ensure that the information is valid and accredited. We are in a generation where social media reigns supreme in the means of communication. This is another topic that has pros and cons. Social media is useful for communicating with multiple people at once around the world or simply for staying in touch with a family friend who lives far away. We can also find communities for people with similar interests to us through social media, allowing us to expand our network and groups of like-minded individuals. Some of the negative aspects of social media would be how we communicate with each other and how younger generations are seeing a breakdown in communication efforts. These days it seems like everyone feels like an expert on specific topics and social media has reinforced this mindset. The “I have free speech” mentality accompanies social media platforms. I have noticed that in their careers, thanks to platforms like social media and Twitter, people seem to forget professionalism and lose their filter as they become active on social media platforms. I think communicating with others strongly affects how we are perceived. With the invention of social media, there is a lot of breakdown in communication and no one seems to think before doing it.
