Social Networking

What are some ways (corporate and otherwise) that these technologies can be used? What are the benefits of these technologies to society? Be specific. Is there a "dark side"? Make sure to include your opinion of the way these technologies might evolve in the future.

Social networking and social media are used in SO many ways. People brand themselves, brand business, and they can brand pretty much anything. People are able to connect with each other. They can create an image and portray themselves in anyway they want to be seen. They can collaborate with other businesses and expand their markets. Businesses use people with a lot of instagram followers to post about their products and services and use that as advertising. Kylie Jenner does this all of the time and the second she posts about a product is sold out immediately. 
There are many benefits to social networking in society. People are able to stay connected, get new jobs, find what they are looking for on any platform. People find love on social networking. It connects you to like people and suggests jobs and new places to eat, drink, or explore! There are many dark sides of social networking. People get so addicted to it and it is very time consuming. People stop worrying about living their own life and start becoming consumed with what other people are doing at all times. 
I think that these technologies will only get more and more involved with peoples personal lives. There will be nothing to hide and people will be able to start sharing anything they want to. Now that facebook live, snapchat, and instagram's new instastories are here to stay, there is no stopping people from sharing anything they want to.
