Social Everything

It is not a secret that, for most people, the internet plays a big part in our everyday lives.  What some people might not realize, and what I did not realize until watching these videos, is that a lot of what I do is based on other peoples reviews that I read on social media or networking sites. This can range from what people think of a restaurant on Yelp, to reading a friends post on Facebook about being stuck in traffic that would make me re-route my drive to work. The more I think about it the more I wonder if it is good or bad that that some people including myself depend so heavily on the internet as a reference.
