    This document discusses the opportunities and challenges of social media in several areas including relationships, entertainment, learning, recognition, and careers. It notes that while social media allows people to stay connected at a lower cost, it can increase demands on relationships and expectations of immediate responses. It also acknowledges social media provides entertainment but can be addictive, and offers learning resources but not all information is accurate. Recognition through likes can be gratifying but has created a need for validation, and social media makes marketing oneself easier but blurs private and professional boundaries.
