All around the world, billions of people use some form of social media network. Whether it's for news, keeping in touch with friends, shopping, sharing ideas, or just to have it, everyone uses some sort of media in their daily lives. When news strikes somewhere, the live updates from an event instantly are updated to twitter around the world with pictures, videos, and opinions. News gets around faster online, then they can broadcast it over the television.
People all over the world are connected through the Network of Social Media. People with similar interests, thoughts, and ideas are able to share and speak out about different views. One of the government's biggest fears is social media because so much negativity is displayed online about political viewpoints. Countries like China, Iraq, and Pakistan, took to actually banning social media networks such as twitter, facebook, and even google. These sites were banned over fears of opposition movements plotting against the governments.
On this website I found, they talked about why Social Media rules the world. It gave statistics of media users and other facts. The website mostly talked about the affect social media has on journalism and how social media is interrelated to almost every website on the internet. Is there anyway to avoid some kind of Social Networking these days?
I agree that people these days use social media a lot for staying in touch with people. It can be good to stay connected with people who live far form us.
