Is social media here to stay?
Social Media?
Social media, the biggest thing to hit not only our generation but our society. But the biggest question in our minds is, is social media here to stay? A fad, to me is a trend that people have an obsession with for a period of time but is short lived. Its something that attracts and enlightens our minds, until something bigger and better comes along.
We are the fuel to the fire
I think social media is that something bigger and better, that will only continue to get bigger if we allow it. While social media is constantly growing and expanding, I believe its here to stay for the long haul. Social media has almost a hyptmotizing affect on us, which is why I believe its the biggest shift in our society since the Industrial Revolution. Almost everything in todays day, is social media based. While its hard to believe that if Facebook was a country that they'd be the third biggest country, its the crazy reality of what we have made our daily life into. Social media continually grows and is reaching younger and older demographics all at the same time, which is why in a way, social media is dangerous. Are we to busy with our heads in our phones, laptops or ipads to realize how much we are allowing social media to consume our time.
Fad or Not
If social media was just a fad, I couldnt possibly imagine what the next thing would be that would take over social media. Social media has opened up the possibilites for companies in so many ways, I couldnt possibly ever imagine not using social media and what we be the next form of communication. Whether social media is a fad or not, it caused a shift in our daily lives forever. I would'nt change a thing about it as it brings me closer to people in a way I never thought I possibly could.
I completely agree with the fact that social media is here to stay. With social media giants leaping over the bounds it is practically difficult to stay away from social media. Social media has made whole world just a click away. Only if teleporter really comes in to existence social media will be an integral part of our life..
ReplyDeleteI agree with your post that social media is the new industrial revolution. With businesses starting to incorporate social media into their marketing strategy, it helps their business by keeping customers up to date, informed and it is one of the cheapest ways to advertise to such a large audience. Also, it is the fastest way to get information out to the consumer since they are always on social media sites, checking up on news or information that is posted throughout the day. In addition, social media has become a big part in everyday life for the average person. People can add contacts to social media sites, check up on what their friends are doing or talk and comment on anyone's thoughts that they post.
