"SINCE ALL MAN WAN": WHEN SOCIAL MEDIA BECOMES A BATTLE GROUND....

Hello people. Happy Tuesday!! Hope your day started on a positive note. I am trying hard to stay positive..

A lot has happened in the last few days. Births and multiple deaths. I stay away from the news sometimes on purpose. News just seems to be usually very serious and negative . I was disconnected and incommunicado for almost 48 hours then I got back online on Sunday and Facebook [and twitter] seemed like a battle ground. #Wandaful

This is what Social Media has become…Since All Man Wan Write. #DiarisTheInternet #DiaAreSmartPhones
