Life at the Palm of Your Hands
Social media has changed the way people are living their lives on a daily basis. Hitting that annoying alarm clock from across the room has been replaced with a simple finger swipe to turn off that annoying high pitched ring tone from your cellphone. Additionally, people seem to care more about what other people are doing in the world versus the news provided by mainstream media. How much are we letting social media take part of our lives? I for one, will not be a hypocrite. I admit, I'm addicted to Facebook, but I know I'm not alone!
Be Smart With Social Media
It's okay to put down your cell-phone for two minutes. Don't you just hate those people you see walking across the street, not paying attention to a single thing around them except the cell-phone right in-front of their face? This may be the reason you may be noticing an increase in vehicle-pedestrian accidents, that simply could be avoided! Be smart when using social media. As you can see this applies internally and externally. After all, we don't want to end up in the water fountain like this girl.
Consumers should also be cautious of what they post online. Some people post upwards of 25-30 posts a day! While this may seem fun and interesting to the person posting, others may find it a bit over the top. You may find the outcome to be counter-effective, since people will start ignoring your posts if you're either repetitive or post too frequently. You have to think about postings like a consumer. Would you want to see a story or post pop up on your news feed 13 times in a row? I didn't think so.
What Not to Post on Facebook
While you might think it looks "cool" to take a picture of you and your underage friends drinking alcohol, you may actually be incriminating yourself in the process. This can particularly be a problem since more and more parents are starting to join Facebook, themselves. Instead of having the cops bust the party, they may pull the plug earlier!
Facebook and other social sites have cooperated with law enforcement officials to help keep their communication platforms in a safe and respectful environment. Sometimes, Facebook has been able to provide insightful details to investigators of a specific case. The good news is, it appears criminals are now dumber than ever, leaving social media foot-prints on the internet. This can lead investigators to a specific scene or location and can also help identify a number of other factors, sometimes even the suspect's identification.
While Facebook and other sites are being used by millions of people across the globe, it can also consume too much of your time and in some cases, put you behind bars! Be smart when it comes to consuming social media and don't let it consume you.
Is social media consuming too much of your time? See how social media has made a fool out of some and even landed others behind bars!
