ABSTRACT

You likely use social media in your personal life, and perhaps even in professional settings like an internship or job. You are probably among the 73 percent of online adults using Facebook (among more than 1 billion global users) or 43 percent using multiple social sites, according to the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. Platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest may also draw your attention through a mobile device. eMarketer describes mobile trends as making users “always on, always social” through smartphones and tablets. We are used to people making mobile status updates or uploading photos while walking to class, hanging out at the gym or celebrating with friends.
