RESPONSES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Kiley Korey, music performance student at Luther College
“My opinion is that social media is a great way to stay in touch with family and friends who are far away. [Especially for myself] as a college student, it is a good way to stay in touch with some former teachers and friends from back home. My aunt from Chicago and my grandma from Colorado say they love keeping up with me on Facebook.”
Alycia, 27, from South Carolina
“My father posts a lot. Even his family says that he posts way too much, the selfies, cars, or anything that he’s doing every single day. I see how he uses the Internet . . . and I think that changes me a lot. I realise you don’t have to post everything at every moment, you can just live in the moment.”
Ankit Ranade, 19, student studying Engineering
“The [rule of] thumb is that mom will not comment on any of my posts, pictures or the comments made by my friends. Also, she can’t tag me in any of her gushy posts. My childhood pictures also can’t be shared on social media. . . [this is] to avoid social embarrassment.”
