I have a love-hate relationship with social media. I like that it connects me to old friends, helps me find new ones and it makes communication easier (gone are the days when you panic after losing someone’s phone number). But on the other hand, it’s now easier for scammers to lure in people. Sometimes, news feed spamming gets so bad, I end up un-friending two or three people even before I had time to finish my morning coffee. What am I getting at?
