Social Media Andrew Nangle
What is Social Media? Social Media has grown exponentially in the past 10 years. It went from a fad to something used in everyday life. It has many different uses and forms. It includes Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and many more. It has become something that helps bring people together and feel more connected, especially in our generation. It’s uncommon for someone in our generation to not use any of these social media platforms. It has become the normal thing to do now.
What’s so Special About it? You may be wondering why social media has grown so much and why so many people use it. The answer being, people enjoy posting about themselves and sharing good memories with the world. They want to show off their best moments to everyone. It brings people together and when you post something and people like it, it feels good.
Who Uses it the Most? This is a tough question. I would say my generation uses social media the most because it’s what we grew up with. We grew up with new technology and social media evolved along with us. You could also argue that Millennials use it the most. The reason being not only for personal use, but also for the business aspect of it. There are many great opportunities for business on social media.
How Does it Relate to Business? Social media creates many opportunities for entrepreneurs. First off, e commerce. This is basically creating your own business online. Social media is a great tool for this because you can advertise and grow your business greatly with it. Take dropshipping(a business where you’re basically the middle man between the customer and the company, and you advertise a product made by someone else, then buy it and give the company the customers shipping information) for example. With dropshipping, you advertise a product on social media in hopes that someone will see it and buy it impulsively. It may sound ridiculous, but it’s actually been proven to work for countless people.
Business Related to Social Media Not only are there businesses where you can market and advertise on social media, but social media in general is also a business. Take Facebook for example. Mark Zuckerberg has made an insane amount of money off of it. More and more social media platforms are coming out every year, which goes to show that this business is growing more than ever.
Social Media in the Future Social media will continue to grow and expand more than we’ve ever seen. Businesses in the future will revolve around social media and online advertisements. The internet will always be the future, and it will just continue to grow to become something even more amazing than we’ve already seen. Technology is always changing and adapting to society, and this trend will continue.
The Next Generations Although my generation grew up with new technology like ipod touches and video game consoles like Xbox and Playstation, the next generation will grow up with even more advanced technology. This advanced technology that we may not understand too well, the next generation will understand it quite easily because they grew up with things that were similar to this new technology. Just like how my grandparents aren’t very knowledgeable about their phones and other technology, we will also become like this when we grow older. Thus creating a cycle of new technology and confused older generations.
Summary In conclusion, social media will only continue to grow and be a big part of our society. Business will also grow by using social media. Although, in the future, social media may become too big. As of right now, majority of the population uses social media. A vast amount of this majority is addicted to it and spends countless hours a day on it. In the future, I can see this becoming an even bigger problem. Hopefully, it doesn’t come to this though. Social media is a great way to bring people together, and I just hope it isn’t ruined because people are too addicted.
