But then it's interesting. I get my news from FB.
I asked the kids not too long ago where they read news. They said the typical..newspaper, FB, instagram. But they also said Twitter and SnapChat. I thought it was interesting.
My roommate is dating a chick who is like the lead social media person for McCoy's head quarters in San Marcos. Like there are dedicated jobs to promote the business. So, my question is where should the line be drawn? What is (un)acceptable? Where does the "social media" end and "like" begin. Is it fully integrated into our life? Or just what we choose to let in? Do we even have a choice a valid choice in the matter?

It's sad when social media takes over one's life. It's another addiction.

And I think it's funny (not haha) how we can post trivial stuff, yet when someone is having a semi-serious conversation it's like poof, a fart in the wind.
No judgement. Just an observation.

I like this response. And agree with it being the individual's RESPONSIBILITY to fact check.So is it laziness, instant gratification, or just a lack of caring? I agree with the escaping from life comment. |

I agree with the escaping from life comment. based off levels of direct or indirect correlation between subject and matter i think...becomes subjective to a point of favored ideologies and belief systems... |
