There are many types of social medias out there such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr. Each one has their own different purpose and they are all similar to a sense. What these social media websites have in common is that they are all meant to be used as a form of communication and human interaction. What differs them from each other is that they each have their own specialty or their own purpose. Twitter is for a short and concise way of getting information out to the public. Facebook is more versatile and has many things to offer such as images, video, messaging, games, etc. Instagram specialized in pictures and image posts. Tumblr is more so of a blogging type of social media.
There are many cons to new media and media in general but one of the major cons would be the privacy issues that people have to face when using these types of medias. Like for example, instagram allows you to make your photos private but others may still be able to see through your photos by looking through someone else's phone. On new media, you are never really secure in terms of privacy because the world wide web is public for everyone. Having websites like google and yahoo allow people to search your profile up if you have made a facebook or instagram or anything that is related to your name. New media doesn't allow for much privacy and that is one of the downsides of new media. It makes everything available for the public to see.
