Today for Cybersmart we have been making a pros and cons list of social media. We used the app Biteable, a very cool app. You can make animations and stuff, with motion and music.
My opinion on Social Media.
It is a hard thing to think about, if I am being honest. Every app has pros and cons. Though I still reckon that social media can be a good thing, sometimes at least. Like, you can connect with people you know, and share interests and opinions. As well as, growing friendships to be stronger and making friends.
Even though there are heaps more of my cons down below, I do kind of reckon that it is more specific. Where the pros are a bit more inclusive to many ideas, like a bit of a summary of some. Down below are the positives and negatives. So, I believe that through this work I have found that social media is very good, in some contexts. Though, don't talk to someone you don't know it could be a catfish.
