Social networks allow people all around the world to communicate with each other. Its also an easy way to keep up with friends and family. Some people use social networks for work and using new plans or searching for new tools to use. I use Facebook and just started using Google+. Having a Driod cell phone, Google + is simple to work on my phone. After watching the video, I don't think Gin is the reason why we use social networks, like people did in the industrial revolution. But I do agree that social media is supported because people have leisure time. I use Facebook, not because I need too but because I have time to look on it. Its on my phone, so when I am bored I can just look at it.
Social media has its positives and it negatives on education. Social media allows educators to connect with each other. If one science teacher has an awesome lesson on how to teach the nervous system, and a new teacher didn't know how to do it. The new teacher can look on a biology Facebook webpage and take the plan of the page. On the other hand, I think social media can affect what students learn, I think it allows students to be easy to connect with teachers without them knowing. But I think the biggest impact is students are always on a computer. Students use the internet for everything, which don't get me wrong, it so easy to use. But i think students become robots only using computer, looking at a monitor, or an i pad, or the i phone. Everyone of these machines allow are students to be isolated and to now communicate with each other.
