@kaylacharless Its coming along! how about you?

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@irenesikellis1 Good point, our messages can go very far and very fast as well!

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@irenesikellis1 Yes! I know I did in my elementary school. We had a class called "Informatique" and it was once a week. I must say it did prepare us.

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@irenesikellis1 It's a thought that has frightened me as well. How much more advanced can it get & is that really good for our well being/mental abilities?

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@kaylacharless Exactly! where they do not feel inhibited by social norms or proper conduct

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@RhidimaChat Great point! readers should think critically, become informed on the situation, and form their own opinion before being influenced by media

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@ArianaLazaris Great point! this way there is no room for misinterpretation and the parents are properly guiding their children

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@SabrinaGoldwax Good point! Skype, messenger and other tools are very efficient and easy means to stay connected with family in anothe country.

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@SabrinaGoldwax So true! Especially since the main mean of interaction and staying connected now in days is texting

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@SabrinaGoldwax Very true! Social media is the reason for many advancements in our current society and provides us with many positive aspects

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@madar_amanda Definitely! people must be aware of the consequences to their actions before doing anything

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@madar_amanda Definitely helps having these tools at our disposal whenever we please!

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@lamsterz I also very often resort to Youtube as an educational tool. It is really agreat help for visual learners

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@irenesikellis1 @lamsterz So true! it is hard to not take a social media break when studying for example

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@lamsterz It is definitely double sided. we have seen a lot of progress with the use of SM in spreading awareness, we have also seen it cause problems

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@jennamarra88 Definitely! literally everything requires social media today. It has even become necessary and an integral part in schooling

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@Vamvas19 Agree! and since the message is not delivered face to face rather through social media, it is up to the receiver to decipher the meaning

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@Vamvas19 Definitely! We should be more precautious about cyber bullying and take measures to avoid it

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@nat_ryan1995 Very true! sadly just by scrolling through a news feed you wonder all too much how ignorant people can actually be

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

@EricHeidersdorf Especially if we consider the digital divide, taking into consideration the fact some countries have more access to technology than others
