d so rapidly over the last decade. (Fast forward pace of people in Solihull) Sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vine and Instagram have revolutionised the whole world.

( logos appear of my space and Friendster and the email) (typing on keyboard) The use of social networking today compared to before is so much. (Quick shots of our vox pops people one after the other) In 2013 1.73 BILLION people around the world use social networking sites (blurred focus and 1.73 billion written across the screen in big white letters), thats nearly 1 in 4 people!

Documentary starting scene 2. As the 21st century students require to do most their work on computers and online.

3rd scene Students start to eat later rather than at a certain time (Panning shot of the refectory and Costa) and not sleep properly as these social networks keep them up till late at night. (Falling asleep on the computer) (Vox pops here of Gary talking) They end up having more caffeine instead to stay focused in their studies (Costa shots here) 4th scene However there are also some positive effects on social networking sites such as sharing pictures and videos and writing statuses. (Shots of using Instagram on our phones, shots of using vine and flicker) (Few Vox pops about the good things) It also allows you to get your voice and opinions heard through a large number of audiences, reducing communication barriers. But this can cause conflict (Vox pops of Fabiyah) There are also good opportunities for careers. (Mikes interview here talking about how and why he uses it ) As well as this, social networks also help many businesses. They use different techniques to promote their products such as ads and links, this helps them to reach a wider audience and gain more sales and profit.
