Social Media and Technology: The Positives

 It is very much positive for social media and technology to actually be--helpful. Technology is more revolutionary and advanced then ever; we can do things never imagined. It has changed the way the world works, and has made it more complex and simple at the same time. Social Media is in fact extremely charitable, or it at least assists in that. A North Carolina boy, at only 7 years old, is using Facebook to raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims. Facebook also has several pages dedicated to reuniting Sandy victims with lost valuables. The use of social media for charity has increased greatly since 2011. Social media also helps people reach out to loved ones who may be too far away. More people are connected with long distance relatives as a result of social media. There are pro and cons for everything, and even with the horrible negatives, social media isn't all bad.
