Social Media has affected my life in many ways.

I remember a few years ago, when I was in middle school. In Mexico we were all about Messenger, from MSN. It was such an amazing way to be able to keep in touch with friends and talk all the time. If your phone had the app for it, then it was a good phone. Then the times came when Fotolog, a photo based website came to be THE website, you could upload a picture and get up to 20 comments, most of them were some pretty lame comments  but in the end they helped me to get closer to my friends. Then Myspace came into my life, and it was a great for me to connect with my friends from Ohio. Finally, Facebook made its way into society! It was such an interesting way to connect with others, and till this day it has helped me in many ways, and been such a pain in many others. Since you can't really know the exact sense that people are trying to say when a message is typed, people tend to misunderstand things, and some problems have come to happen between my friends and I. Also, now that I am living so far from my home, I am able to talk to my friends back at home, and to many other friends all around the world. I am able to see what they are up to in their lives, and I can share with them how my college exeperience is going.
