In Ian Daly's Virtual Popularity Isn't Cool-It's Pathetic he really targets on how social media is ruining lives and not even worth having. Daly has a very strong opinion on social media and having a thousand, million, or even trillion friends online who aren't even your friends. When I first read this story I was agreeing with him. But then we discussed about it in class and I heard everyone's thoughts and started to change mine. I disagree because so much good came come from social media that isn't that easy to get in real life. Now a days you have to know people to get around in the career life and make good friends who can help you get there and other goals you'd like to achieve. Social media is the perfect way to give you a little push to get there. Because without it you wouldn't be able to communicate in such a way even communicating with family members far away. It's easier to just send a quick message or have a quick video chat instead of having to call and ring ring wait forever.
