Social media has become an essential need in our daily
lives. It is amazing how such a small device, such as our phone, can access so
many media platforms. We use social media to share ideas, exchange information,
get the latest news, sports, make profit by selling and buying merchandise,
finding and posting jobs or careers, finding relationships and even
communicating around the world. There are many types of media platforms, some being
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. These
media platforms are becoming a necessity within our lives and jobs, especially
now during this current pandemic. Many of us, including myself, are using Zoom
or Microsoft teams for our jobs, meetings, interviews, and education. Social
media has become a necessity within our lives and is rapidly growing and will
continue to dominate in the future.
I believe that some type of social media that we don’t
consider as traditional sites are email services such as Hotmail or Gmail. I
believe it is still a way of being social because you are still interacting
with others by sending messages. I believe the reason why it is not considered
a type of social media is because it doesn’t have large audiences with live
sessions and large interactions among people. Gmail has created a form of chat
messenger that allows you to interact by chatting and it even has a video
option if people prefer that way of communicating.
Many social media platforms have found ways to allow
large number of audiences to interact with each other. People are attracted to
social media sites that have allowed them to share ideas, comment, and have
conversations. I believe if people cannot interact with each other then there is
no point of having a social media site.
