This has been a wonderful semester! I have learn about social media and it's purposes; connect to family and friend, spread the word about a business or charity, as well as what it can do for an individual person.

Staying connected to family and friends has never been easier; I can instantly send messages and post photos to keep all my friends in the lope. Plus with pictures I can download once and it will hit all of my friends. On Pinterest I can have a conversation about something that interested in and getting to each other on a deeper level. I can get to know my friends and interests by looking at their Pinterest.

If I ever start my own business I will definitely have a Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube account to get my name out and try to get some photographers who want their names out there too! It is so important to use the internet for my advertisements because paper doesn’t circulate like it use to. Plus it is so much easier for charities to have everything electronic to save money on paper costs and to have a wider circulation with virtual sign-up sheets.

The web can benefit a person a great deal; through Pinterest a person can organize their thoughts, ideas, and plans on their boards. Google Calendar is easy to create and can be personalized and color-coordinated. Twitter can instantly keep a person up to date with the news and their favorite celebrities.

I enjoyed myself in this class because it taught me not to fear technology but to understand what the hype of social media and how it can be used successfully in life. I also was reminded and warned of the negative aspects of social media and how to get around and protect myself and future children.
