The social media is a network of interactive platforms that allows individuals and communities to create and share content generated by users. It encompasses magazines, internet forums and blogs, photographs, pictures, videos, ratings, podcasts and magazines. Social media aims to connect people and allow content to be shared, published and accessed with a vast audience. In this age of technology it is one of the main forms of communication used. This of course has its advantages and disadvantages although in my opinion its benefits out ways its costs.
The creation of unity is one of the most positive attributes of the media. For those that may be challenged of some sort may it even be due to aliments of age utilize social media to stay connected or attain new connections. It eliminates loneliness and alienation. Protective personnel can liaise directly with communities for effective communication. This assists with crime fighting initiatives. With the ‘hustle and bustle’ of today, social media has created convince in communication as it effectively gets message across.
The social media allows direct communication between organisations and people. Negative reviews can be seen as poor service which when viewed by consumers or followers can only result negatively towards business or people. Fraud can be easily committed as business or people can create fake business or personal profiles to mislead people or even imitate existing profiles. Messages can also be incorrectly received and persons have the advantage of create or adding to incidents. However these negatives can be controlled internally and social media users can also use their wit to accept or decline information on these platforms.
In my opinion because of advances in technology and positivity of the social media, it has the power to further create unity and open the world as it further evolves and strengthens.
