Social media

Which social media can you think of? Which social media do you use? Write a short text where you start with introducing social media/ explaining what it is (feel free to use the definition you find on www.merriam-webster.com). Give examples of popular social media and how they are used and then go on to discuss the pros and cons of social media and social media usage. You may choose to focus on one or two types of social media, like facebook and/ or twitter (you can even compare and contrast), or you can write about social media in general. 

You can probably find useful information in the presentation made by the class: Social Media
