Is our dependence on social media hurting us?

Published: Oct. 7, 2011, 8 a.m.

b'Quick video this week since I'm on my way out the door for my wedding anniversary with my wife, but wanted to quickly answer one of your questions and encourage you to submit a ton of questions for me to talk to Vidcon in two weeks. I want to interview and collab with as many YouTubers there as I can, answering your questions about life, dating, relationships, parents, school, and any other issues you're going through in life. Hit me up with a boatload of questions to take to Vidcon for you! Today I answer a question about social media (facebook, twitter, youtube, google plus, etc) and if our dependence on it is helping or hurting us. I'm really interested to hear how you teens answer this question. Please leave your thoughts in the comments, or better yet, leave a video response!
