==== Modern day communication has been completely revolutionized since the rise of social media. Long gone are the days when communication occurred by a letter delivered by a horse or traveling to see someone. This has been replaced by video chat, wall posts, picture messaging, and pokes. These words were unknown to us a mere 10 years ago. The level at which this is occurring is astonishing. People no longer feel the need to communicate verbally but rather update their profile to reach a mass of their followers aka friends. whether sharing pictures of a newborn to family across the world, trading recipes with your neighbor next door, or working on an assignment with your classmates via web, social media is the one constant that brings all of these groups of people together. What once seemed like a silly idea, "[|Facebook]" is now a common household term. While you may not realize how much of an impact Facebook has, "More than a third of divorce filings contain the word Facebook".(Post Staff) These overwhelming statistics show how much of a role social media plays in our daily lives.
