Social media allows a person to get to know another person kind of “from afar.” Accessability is made possible because of the way social media works. Just think of it: it is something to think that so many people have the opportunity to pop into hundreds of people’s living rooms/office for a 30 second comment and pop back out again. That is what facebook and twitter do.

I don’t really think that social media will totally replace email because you CAN get back and forth and very personal interaction going on email. BUT you can also get people never even opening your email and you might not ever know that. Emails can also feel like a “demand” response and that is not a good feeling. Social media interaction is more pallatible. And it is super easy to “like” a facebook post which essentially says “Hey - I read this and am thinking of you” - something that email has no equivalent to.

That’s my two cents. Thanks for the contest. I do hope I win because I really need your help.
