Hi, here goes! First blog, never saw myself as a blogger. Already
mortification is setting in at the thoughts of anyone reading this. I have
always been wary of social media. I have never used twitter or snap chat but I
do have Instagram and Facebook accounts but I don’t participate in either in
any great way. I haven’t been in my Instagram account in months. However I do
login to Facebook from time to time, maybe once a week. When I do I am always
surprised at the amount of news especially in my local area that I have been
totally unaware of so in that respect it is a great forum for posting local
news, events etc.

So I guess what I am saying is that I should not be afraid and wary of
social media, I should embrace it. It can be a lifesaver as I discovered while
reading an article on Hurricane Irma in the guardian today.
“Many current and former BVI
residents are using social media to mobilise resources and circulate lists of
urgently needed supplies, including generators, blankets, bed linen, mosquito
tablets and construction materials."
Social media is a good thing and need
not be feared. Lets embrace it!
