POSITIVE EFFECT OF SOCIAL MEDIA networking has brought to society. One can think of more than half a dozen just off the head. It is a very interesting time when social media made an entry into the public world. What used to be considered a bane has miraculously transformed into one o the biggest boon of the 21st century world, alongside Apple apps and Google. There is now little doubt that social media is the Black Swan of this century.
1. Addressing a larger audience
Today, there is nothing more passé than sending a message to a few friends declaring a promotion of an admission in your favorite college. If you haven’t twitted it, your declaration has only reached 0.001% of the people. The point being, social media stands as the only tool to address a larger crowd. Have an opinion? Share it! Is what social media banks on. The need to share information and have a large audience is also quite important.
The world is growing in leaps and bounds, both by size and by its heterogeneity. In such a case, the uniting factor for most of us is the social media. You will by default find at least a million people on Facebook or Twitter at a given point of time. Such is the strength of social media.
2. Boundary-less Communication
The communication is important, there is little doubt. But what are the kinds of communication that will be most effective? Through newspapers, there has been one-way communication, since it is the government that could speak to us, and not the other way around. Today be it opinions, arguments, debates or simply reciprocating to an event, it can all be done on a platform. Today, San Juan is not as far as it used to be from Paris. The world’s a smaller place and everyone’s happy about it. Thanks to social media.
3. Revolutionizing the world of the common man
How would you feel being a celebrity for a day, or even an hour. Well, you don’t have to dream that far.
