Dear Mrs. Rosenbloom,
Your article “For the Plugged-In, Too Many Choices” made me
realize how social media can run our lives, or in some people’s cases, use it
to run theirs. I was impressed that Jessica
Lawrence was able to use Twitter to her full advantage to find a job,
apartment, and boyfriend. Instead of
being burdened by having multiple profiles on different social networking
sites, Jessica was smart to stick to one and use it to her full advantage. I think it is great how people are able to
use social media in more creative ways now than just staying in touch or
stalking their friends; some have changed their whole lives with it and even
learned how to make money from it.
However, your article also shed light on how having multiple
social networking sites are getting harder and harder to manage, which I agree
to an extent. I really think it just
depends on the person and how capable they are of running these multiple
sites. For example, I have a Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora, and Google+, and having all of those at the same time
does not overwhelm me in the least bit. Then
there are those people who cannot even handle just having a Facebook because they
cannot keep up with it, or are on “tech overload”. I think when it comes down to it, it’s really
just how you choose to spend your time on these sites and who the person is
that is controlling them.
Sincerely,
Connie Zhen
