Developments of Social Media
Statistics from the website statistica show that in the USA in 2017 81%
of the population uses some form of social media. This is believed to rise and
the 2.34 billion users worldwide in 2017 will rise to an estimated 2.95 billion
by 2020. Social media is evolving everyday. Nowadays it is common for social media to be used by businesses as an effective marketing tool. Businesses will find ways to market on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter because they know that there advertisements can be seen instantly after posting and also that they can be sent to thousands of people at the one time meaning it takes less time.
In the 21st century social media has been a game changing trend within the way that people now communicate. This has meant that the social media population has grown from a few million people to a few billion people.
Today individuals and organisations
use social media to stay focused and connected and ensure that updates reach as
many people as possible. The best way for them to do this is through using
social media due to the fact that one status or update can reach thousands of
followers at the one time. This means that a lot of time you would have spent
communicating messages to individuals can now be cut because one message or
status can be shared to thousands all over the world at the one time.
Social media now allows people the
opportunity to search for people using their search facility. This means that
you can now reconnect with people and remain in contact with them. This is
beneficial to people because it means that now they can keep in touch with
family and friends that live a lot further away without having large bills for
contacting them by phone or text message.
In conclusion I believe that there
have been many changes in the 21st century in regards to how social
media has developed. When you look back to the early days of social media the
platforms that people used were very different to the ones that get used
today.
