Social Media and its Affects
Article Summary

Social media has made a dramatic change in the way that we as humans live our lives. It has become the way we think, eat, and breathe as the world slowly turns and changes around us. After reading the article about the Veteran of Foreign Wars going to social media because of the declining member rate was a big pill to swallow. Many of its members are older veterans that would rather do all communication via paper than with their phones, most are not computer smart and cannot communicate that way. According to VFW most of the younger generation loose interest in the organization, if it's not on a social media platform the information that was put out via paper is of no concern. Social media not only affects the lives of normal humans, but it is also affecting the lives of veterans and active military also.
