Hello All!!! I hope this blog post finds you all well!!! I am writing with the purpose of asking you a central question that I hope you can find the time to answer! So, the primary purpose of my blog is to discuss the influence of the media and social networking sites. We all can attest to the fact that the Internet is a very influential part of our every day life- if you are reading this blog, it is probably because you have a blog of your own- and if you have a blog of your own it is probably because you have something important to say and blogging is one way to let your voice be heard (case in point!) The Internet = influential! Therefore, my question to you is a two-part question.. Why do we as a society allow the Internet to influence us on such a profound level (given the fact that we know not all information on the Internet is credible/reliable)? AND, what do you primarily use the Internet for?

I would love to hear what you think and I look forward to reading your responses!

*** The picture below is just food for thought *** Enjoy!
