Don't let Social Media make you less social! Life is about balance and everything has its place. Don't spend your life with your nose buried in a screen, bury it in a flower instead. Take time from your online life to connect with your real life right in front of you. #psychsocialmedia

Slacktivism can save lives! Some people think slacktivism is lazy activism but for lost people, lost pets and shelter animals it can be the difference between life or death. So share away all you armchair activists, it might just save a life! Slacktavism is activism! #psychsocialmedia

Grandma used to say..."If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". I think that is a lesson people on social media need to learn today. If you wouldn't say it to their face then don't say it online and even if you would, that doesn't mean you should! #psychsocialmedia

Not everything is fake news. Sometimes what is posted is just wrong. While the authors of DISinfomation (fake news) are just plain DIShonest, most authors of MISinformation are just MISinformed. It's our responsibility to decipher the differnece and truth before sharing either. #psychsocialmedia

“If it’s on the internet then it must be true.” Sadly, that sums up how people view information on social media. Because a person has a lot of followers, we tend to believe whatever they post. Social media news posts should have to post sources just like mainstream journalists. #psychsocialmedia

Multitasking is the name given to distractions that make us feel like we can accomplish a multitude of tasks at the same time. While it's possible to do many tasks at once, it does not mean we can do them well. Digital distance gives us the means to not pay attention to the moment. #psychsocialmedia

Gone are the days of physical searches through card catalogues for information on a particular topic. With the advancement in digital organization, the information we seek is now just a click away from the comfort of our own home. Digital cataloguing has made order from disorder. #psychsocialmedia

Check out this really cool SM site I found called New Grounds. It's a colorful online community focused on art, music, games and film. It allows people to upload their art and get feedback from the community. It also gives online awards. It can be found at www.newgrounds.com. #psychsocialmedia
