One clear example is Facebook, which the company is the top five most valuable company in the World which the number of active users continuously increased from 100million in 2008 to 1.68billion in 2016 ("Facebook World Stat", 2017). It can be seen obviously that the number of social media users are dramatically growing in a decade. However, social media is a double-edged sword, many people might use social media just for socialize and entertaining but never literally concern about the drawbacks of it.

For instance, "Wat" instead of "What", "2moro" instead of "Tomorrow", and "ASAP" for "as soon as possible" and there are a ton more of these.

Unfortunately, the clip was seen by a teacher, which her school quite strict with students' reputation. The result was she got fired out of the school. I believe no one was expecting this was going to happen. Her fun time with her friends turned to be a nightmare in just a few days. Furthermore, many social media users have to regret what they posted online because those things cannot be deleted forever. It is true that there is a delete button, but how do they know that once they uploaded
