How Social Media Fad or Revolution?
My perception on this topic, if social media is a fad or the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution? My view is that social media is the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution and it will not be going away anytime in the near future. Before the industrial revolution the only ways you could get news is my reading a newspaper or by word of mouth. In these days you can get news just by looking at your cell phone. With all these social media sites it had became easier to share information around the world in almost seconds, unlike before when people would have to wait till it was printed or it was broadcasted on TV.
There are many social media sties out there for example Face book, Twitter, and LinkedIn just to name a few. Face book is way for people to check out other peoples life, who their dating to also to see where they have been, ways to share stories just by posting a picture, you can learn a lot about a person just by looking at their facebook page. Twitter is a next social media site, with this site it allows people to make status about whatever they want also as it is under 140 letters. You can also follow other people to see what their updating to status, mostly every famous people and news channel has it so you will never be out of date with news as long as you’re following the right people.
Almost everyone has access to cell phone or computer. So anyone young and old , blind or deaf can stay informed with the latest breaking news just by someone posting something then someone passing it along either by word of mouth or by using an social media site .This means that once someone posts information on a social media site it is able to be seen by almost everyone around the world.
I believe that social media will become more advanced as the years go by and the chances or it becoming a fad in highly unlikely
I have the same option as you that social media has made being informed a lot quicker . And it is becoming more and more advanced day by day.
ReplyDeleteGood points, almost everyones connected to some sort of social media, and it is becoming more advanced as more sites and features come out
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about that social media will become more advanced as the years go by and I can only imagine what is going to happen next in the future and what else is going to come up
ReplyDeletei have to agree with because i also dont think social media is going any where for a while, its a tool that business need. its a news magnet.
ReplyDeleteI agree when you say how you can get all the recent news from the social media much quicker and more efficient now a days compared to when we relied on the newspapers to be printed or for the news reporters to report what has happened. But as for Facebook, I see it more as just people being able to creep on others. Yeah that’s great, to be nosy, it’s definitely a handy tool but it provides more services that this. With Facebook, you can communicate with people you have lost contact with, keep in touch with family members and friends close or far. Some businesses have their own page where you can search about them as it’s like another website. Also, products can be put up for sale on Facebook kind of like Kijiji.
