Mod3-Social Media Revolution2

 The video, “Social Media Revolution2” is very intriguing and well-designed. In the beginning, the video starts off with a question, “Is social media a fad?” Personally, I will think it is only a craze that spans a short period of time. But there is plenty of evidence of the inevitable power enabling social media a never-ending process. For example, Facebook has already added over 200 million users in a fairly fast speed. 80% of companies use social media for recruitment. Instead of email accounts, some universities replace them with iPads. Undoubtedly, social media has become part of our lives.

There are also a lot of fun facts about social media, such as people found the love of their lives through Facebook or face to face instruction might not be the best way to educate students as compared to online teaching. Franking speaking, I have never thought about social media could have such an immense influence in the way people communicate until this video. Even though I do know Facebook or twitter is  beyond well-known and necessary to the young generations, their effect on promoting new brands and selling products is something unthinkable.

In today’s world, students can avail themselves of the advanced technology to not only accumulate knowledge but also to be connected to the outside world. Technically, now we can do every thing on the Internet. Paperless textbooks or bills would soon take over the traditional ways of exchanging information in the near future.

It is no doubt that social media has created convenience for people, but a lot of problems related to the usage of Internet has generated as well. Unfortunately, having a blog might increase the risk of exposing your personal information to the stranger and your speech and images on Facebook are no longer your privacy. While embracing the arrival of social media, Internet users should learn how to correctly surf the internet and protect themselves in making the most out of it.
