Social Networks

The Internet, let alone social networks, has a very great influence over our society today. After the creation of the World Wide Web in the 90's, the world has been racing towards technological innovation. That being said, the fact trickles down to the social media level where people can easily be influenced by their friends or their role models. The fact that people can be in contact with each other 24/7 in a click of a button makes popular trends and rumors spread like wildfire. In my opinion, I've seen the good and the ugly. Some of my friends post of heart-warming stories or funny vids, but others post the latest crime story. It's a double-edged sword.
