"Today, in 2014, the era of pervasive social media is firmly upon us. More than half of the Canadian population (19 million of us) uses Facebook at least once a month, and 14 million Canadians check their newsfeed every day. It is a similar story for Twitter, with more than 241 million active users posting an incredible 500 million tweets per day. Social media services have grown at a blistering pace. Consider that in just over 20 years our society has gone from having no Internet access to being fully ‘‘connected’’ all of the time in virtually every location."
