Social Media

“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”
Albert Einstein

Social media. To you that word is something you’ve grown up with your whole life. To your grandma however, that word might not make any sense at all. Think about it for a second. Many older people don’t know a lot about computers, let alone social media. In the 21st century classroom teachers are pushing more and more technology. I’m still in high school and yet I’ve had or still have accounts in: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pintrest, Tumblr, and now WordPress. I was searching the web just a while ago for some statistics on social media and found a blog just for it. Some of Jeff Bullas statistics might amaze you…
