This article is titled "Social Networking Sites and Our Lives." It surprised me to learn that the average age of adult-SNS users is 38. I expected that number to be quite a bit lower. The article mentioned that Facebook users have more social support than others which makes sense. A person can post a status and several people might talk to the user about it and offer help or advice. Personally, I see a lot of political information on Facebook which can be both good and bad. Some of the information isn't quite accurate and a lot of people aren't interested in checking whether or not the sources are reliable. It's a good thing in the sense that it's getting people more politically involved. I like that this article talked about things that I wouldn't typically associate with social media and it definitely showed what an impact it has on our lives.
