Social Media Is Taking Over The Internet.
Nowadays, you cannot even go to a news site without seeing those little tags everywhere for posting the article, video, or link to you social media page. Social media sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Foursquare, and the new Google are steadily taking over people-s online presence. Even in everyday language, social networking has changed how we do things. Just the other day I had a coworker say “I-ll Facebook you’ The question is, is it a bad thing? Is there going to be a point of oversaturation of the market? It is hard to say because social media is designed for the masses. Yes it has taken over, and there are some people who can become addicted to these sites; but it is here to stay. People have been becoming more connected using technology for over 20 years.
Social networks are here to stay, but they have good points as well. Connecting with friends you may not have even heard from in 10 years, a band getting their music heard on a global scale without a record contract, families able to correspond quickly and easily. These are just a few examples of how it can be a good thing. We will see if in the future it implodes or continues to dominate.
