Changing world by social media

Looking over the past years, we can say that social media has changed everyone’s way of living. Social media has impacted almost every field, whether its marketing, advertising, event management, social and professional networking. Let us view some examples, the traditional way of newspaper, television and radio news channels have been reduced due to online news website, YouTube news video and RSS feeds. Also, people seeking employment can easily apply for a job online (Monster, Job search, Linkedin) whereas companies seek their valuable employees through some professional networks (Linkedin). Google is the best source of information rather than browsing information in libraries. In the past the best way to connect was phone calls and letters, but now Facebook and Twitter are the best way to connect friends and families. Video calling and video chats became more popular after 3G came into existence. Letters, which took days and months to deliver, are replaced by emails, which takes a single click to send and receive. Even online shopping is making its way in this changing world. These changes took a very short span of time to change people life. Within some years, social media would totally replace these traditional ways. There are few places in the world where traditional ways are used by the people as they are unaware about these media. Social media is growing at a full pace. If these people cannot reach the social media, social media would definitely reach them. Social media is not only a social media, but it is media for professionals, marketers, business people and all others. People living faraway are getting closer, but people living nearer are getting away. People are updated about the activities going around the world, but do they care about what’s going around them. This new media has changed the way people interact with others. People are addicted to these networks, that they are ruining their personal relations and their real friends. A better technology cannot be predicted, because social media has done unpredictable things and would be doing it.
