In today’s Information Technology class, we will be talking about Social Media
Social Media
Social media is a means by which individuals can connect and express themselves online and through applications. Popular examples of social media include Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Social media is also an online community where the users create and share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content. That is, aside from having a physical community which involves our parents, families and friends, social media can also be termed as a community.
Social Media are interactive technologies that facilitate the sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression through virtual networks. They are websites and applications that allow you to connect with friends and employers and share personal milestones.
Social media is used for connection and micro-blogging. Media networks are used to share media through the social internet method. Discussion networks exist to establish discussion around a certain topic, and community-based networks connect social media accounts based on geographic location.
Today, social media is known as the collective of websites and applications that allow users to share content and participate in social networking.
Content refers to the information that an individual puts out into the world, whether in the form of a YouTube video or Instagram photo.
Social networking occurs when individuals interact with one another’s content, and it was the main goal of social media when it began, providing college students with a way to connect with one another. This is perhaps the heart and primary meaning of social media–to connect individuals all across the world.
In summary, Social media has changed the landscape of how we communicate and interact with one another. Not only can one talk to someone across the world based on our similar interests, but at any moment, one can share their thoughts and ideas with the world in an engaging way. Social media allows for culture to grow at an alarming rate, with the most important news available at one’s fingertips.
