In my opinion, social media is a world of opportunity for anyone who wants to reach a targeted group of people within a very short time. The ability to share a variety of messages including photos, opinions and events in real-time has transformed the way we live and, also, the way we do business.

Despite the fact that connecting with people is now easier than 20 years ago, there is less human interaction. For example, we can see family members together under the same roof, but communicating virtually on separate cell phones.

The extensive use of social media can actually become an addiction. I think governments should regulate social media as it is becoming out of control.
