CPD23 - Thing 12

Social media - I have to admit, I do not, as I've said before use social networks Facebook, Twitter etc. in my personal life. I think we have to remember that there is a large number of people not involved with social networking and that the proportion that are using them is not a complete picture. I've only just started looking for a mobile phone with internet access - so I'm behind in personal use of technology! I'm well aware that it is the future way to communicate - I see my daughters sitting for hours using Facebook.They participate in an online community where they can keep in contact with people who they would not communicate with. Hopefully the CPD23 will encourage me to at least look at different aspects of the new technologies I wouldn't otherwise look at.

Social media can help people advance themselves professionally in light of training budget cuts within employers and help improve knowledge. Social medias provide access to ones own and different fields and professions.
