There are tons of pros and cons to using social media but I still can't decide if the benefits outweigh the risks or not. I really don't know if that will ever be determined but I don't see social media ever going away.
One of the pros I agree with is that social media can help you make friends and improve relationships. This was taken from the source of Brian Solis "people use social media to connect with family and friends" 2011. I have gotten in touch with old high school friends and even friends that I haven't seen or talked to since early elementary. Its nice to see how they're doing and get to know them again.
One con from the procon.org website is that social networking sites entice people to waste time, from "Generation M2L Media in the lives of 8-18 year olds" kff.org 2010. I feel like this has become a problem for a lot of people. We all have busy lives and a million things we should be doing but instead we often chose to scroll through facebook when we could have gotten a lot accomplished in that time.
