Social Media is in every hand every day. We can sit back and scan through it OR we can be active and alive on social media.
I am a scanner. Seeing my peers constantly post about meaningless information causes me to shy away, sit back and not care too much about what is on social media.
We can be effective though. Our laziness shows when we decide to not act.
Elder Bednar speaks of being active in his talk, "To Sweep the Earth as with a Flood."
We know that apostles of the Lord, Jesus Christ, who are constantly consumed with many tasks, concerns, questions, challenges, paperwork etc still have found the desire passion and time to share their love through social media accounts.
Brigham Young, a prophet of God, said, "Every discovery in a science and art, that is really true and useful to mankind has been given by direct revelation from God, through but few acknowledge it. It has been given with a view to prepare the way for the ultimate triumph of truth, and the redemption of the earth from the power of sing and Satan. We should take advantage of all these great discoveries, the accumulated wisdom of ages, and give toy our children the benefit of every branch of useful knowledge, to prepare them to step forward and efficiently do their part in the great work" (Discourse of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widstoe [1954], 18-19).
