The internet and social media instantly connects individuals anywhere in the world with each other. This instant connection can be beneficial to nurses in the workplace. It enables quicker communication between staff and is an unlimited resource of information for nurses and patients. The downside is that nurses have to be careful of what they put online. Social media can be a great tool to improve patient care when used appropriately.

Facebook, being the most popular, has over 24 million active users per day, which is 37.5% of the population. The beauty of social media is that users have an environment where they can share posts, photos, videos, and even music to people around the world instantly. Social media is evolving

Social media websites are some of the most popular haunts on the Internet. They have revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web.

Instagram is a free application that is located on cellphones in the apple store and google play. Instagram is a fun and exciting way to post your life with a lot of pictures. Strolling down my timeline I see people posting thousands of pictures about absolutely nothing or some people that have not posted in ages.

Instagram is a social media platform launched in October 2010 (Instagram, 2017), which allows users to upload pictures and videos to share with others either publicly or privately. In the latter case only a selected number of followers, who have been given access from the account holder, are allowed to see the content.

Instagram is a social sharing app that allows you to post pictures, videos, and stories. This app allows you to interact with each other by liking and commenting on multiple kinds of post.

You can add different people and they can add you as a friend to their list. You can also share pictures. When going out on hiking trips or out with friends pictures can be posted on their story and yours. Basically people can share pictures with their friends and everyone can see what’s going on in their friends lives. You can post videos, flyers, and anything else that people like to see. A lot of people promote parties and different things on Instagram because people always looking on there to see what’s going on. It’s a popular social media that people look at, make comments on photos, like pictures, most of all (DM) which is Direct Message. Direct Message is just like texting, but basically texting on social media instead of actual text messages on your regular phone messages. Instagram is also one of my favorite social medias. Instagram can also let people make their page private and have to request to follow the user their trying to follow. The unique thing about this is that you can block people, especially if the person is getting annoying or saying/sending inappropriate things. There are often spams that go on as well. People can also get offended by something that others post. Sometimes the post isn’t intended for that person so they look at it and assume it’s directed towards them. As for me I only go on Instagram to see what’s been posted and what’s going on for the

In today’s society there is a vast amount of information about anything you would like to research. It is easy for many of us to become over stimulated on whichever avenue we choose. Be it the news, social media, or just plain research, everyday people tend to get lost in the vacuum of internet life and lose sight of major life affecting issues. With all the distractions in today’s current society of comical videos, informative research or horrifying/distracting news stories the children are sometimes overlooked when it comes to proper/moral parenting. This issue of distraction is in direct relation to a major problem in parenting in the 21st century. One problem in particular is the catastrophe of child support fraud. Drug traffickers (Cartels), their henchman and deadbeat drug addicted parents are the only parties benefiting from the way the current system of child support is setup. This issue can be severely overhauled by mandating that every person who is a recipient of child support should be required to drug screening. The ease of child support recipients manipulating the child support system in the state of Virginia is awakening.

Although Facebook is currently the world’s most popular social network, other platforms have been gaining more steam the past few years, especially visual platforms like Pinterest, Snapchat and Instagram. According to Instagram, there are over 150 million active users.

Financial gain is not always the immediate objective of social media. However, monetization attaches a revenue stream to social media content. This monetization can be financial or psychic. Psychic income is defined as value that is not expressed in monetary form (Solomon, 2015). Like other businesses, social media providers need to earn money. To do so, they need to create a monetization strategy as a part of the company’s business model. A successful monetization strategy attracts consumers to the marketer’s content. By measuring who is viewing the content, the social media provider can determine how much a marketer should pay to place their promoted content (Tuten & Solomon, 2013).

My generation has grown up with technology in our hands since we were toddlers. We are dependent on technology, from Iphones, Laptops,tablets, ipods, even watches that keep us connected to a never ending supply of distant connection. Social media is the source of many problems in our society. One of the problems is the lack of communication in a relationship. One misconception about social media is that it has the ability to strengthen a relationship because you have another avenue of communication when in fact it is detrimental, due to lack of intimate interaction between two people. Social media not only takes away face to face interactions, but it leads to trust issues, cheating and a lack of confrontation.
