The Revolution of Social MediaSocial Media has been and continues to change our society.

by taradsjung 9 months ago

These days, it is extremely difficult to find teenagers, young adults, or even older adults who do not use any social

media. It has become a necessity and a part of everyday life, changing norms and traditions. Social media went

from posting on another person’s Facebook page to recording daily or even hourly routines on Snapchat. It is not

just a mean of contacting one another, but now it’s a way to constantly update people with one’s regular activities

or even a way for some people to make profit. With constant improvements, additions, and changes, social media

in society is continuously growing and becoming more influential in everyday life.

Change in the Development of Relationships

With social media, people meet through Facebook, Instagram, etc. and become friends there. Then, they meet in

person. This is the same for dating. Many people meet through social media first. Communication at the dinner

table between families are minimized due to people constantly checking their social media sites.People are



finding that they can have strong emotional connections through social media because they are able to show

their best possible self. Social media also allows people to find and reconnect with long lost friends.

Social Media's Impact on Relationships | Psych Central

Human beings yearn for connection and belonging. Numerous studies have linked

social support to positive mental health. Additional studies have cited the negative

emotional impact of loneliness. Research has further revealed people with fewer

social relationships die earlier on average than those with more social relationships.

People do not get to know one another the traditional way anymore. The way they learn information about

another person has changed, and people no longer use traditional means of getting to know one another.

Because chatting on social media and other ways of contacting people allow them to stay connected at all times,

people no longer feel the need to use other ways to communicate such as sending postal mail.

Chapter 4: Social Media and Romantic Relationships

Many teens in relationships view social media as a place where they can feel more

connected with the daily contours of their significant other's life, share emotional

connections and let their significant other know they care - although these sites

can also lead to feelings of jealousy or uncertainty about the stability of one's

relationship.

Social media will continue to grow with newer and newer innovations for each platform, continuously changing

the way we communicate with one another. It will continue to become even more normal for people to meet or

even date through social media and record their entire relationships on it. Chatting through social media is

usually just an additional way to get to know someone after meeting them in person and developing interest as a

person. However, in the near future, I think social media and chatting will become the main and "best" way for

teens and young adults, in their opinions, to get to know one another and develop friendships and relationships.

Does Technology Ruin Relationships?

Change in Work

Companies now hire people after digging up information about them from the Web including their social media

accounts. Furthermore, the knowledge about social media is becoming a great plus in the workplace because

businesses now know that one of the best ways to reach a large audience is through social media. Therefore,

companies seriously have considerations regarding the type of people they need to hire to manage the social

media accounts because they are so powerful.

Social Media Strategy: Is it Time to Hire a Social Media Officer? |Monster.com

By: Emily Bennington When Ted Rubin (@tedrubin) touched down in Asheville, NC

after a particularly unpleasant flight with a carrier he rarely uses, he immediately

posted an update to his 54,000 Twitter followers. "Just landed...boy do I miss

@JetBlue." A few minutes later, a representative from Jet Blue responded to say thanks.

There is more emphasis these days on knowing how to use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media

platforms. There are even specific jobs for social media; many companies look for Social Media Interns, to

promote and advertise the company through social media. It is increasingly becoming a valuable skill and very

prominent in today's society.

Social media will play an even bigger part in becoming employed. Also, strong knowledge in the social media field

will be a huge plus or even a requirement for certain jobs to work in companies. Companies will value this skill.

Because social media is becoming more and more influential in today's society, the skills needed to manage a

company's social media account in a unique way will be one of the most influential ways of advertising and

promoting the company. I feel that social media will only continue to become more used and manipulated for

companies trying to advertise or show that they are different and special.

Change in the Culture

People are now always on their phones. It is considered an ordinary behavior and a trend to take pictures of food

before eating to upload on Instagram. People no longer dig into their meals as soon as it comes out. It is also

normal to be recording and documenting any small everyday event through platforms such as Twitter or

Snapchat. There are also features of social media that allow people to pay one another, and even check into

restaurants or places to allow people to know what they are doing and where they are. The culture has changed

in a way that people publicize everything they are doing, who they are with, what they are eating, who they are

sending money to, and even daily outfit-of-the-day updates. This has been named "oversharing" on social media.

All of these aspects lead to people constantly being on their phones.

SUE SCHEFF

Are You Oversharing On Social Media?

Posted: Life is full of potential addictions; you don't have to look too far to find

them. When teens consider the concept of addiction, they likely think about

cigarettes and substance abuse, but oversharing on social media doesn't always register as a cause for

concern.

People are always on their phones, and with so much that social media provides, many disruptions have occurred.

For example, people are always documenting what they do, so all their friends know their daily activities.

Therefore, there is less communication talking about each other's days. Less communication also disrupts the

natural body language or tone of voice used while communicating, especially because people are so used to just

typing or texting to express their emotions.

The use of social media will become much more prevalent that people will have almost no communication in

public places due to the constant checking of social media accounts. People will hang out with friends but

constantly go on their phones without saying much to each other, potentially harming these special relationships.

Change in Entertainment

Social media has everything regarding entertainment, including the newest releases from artists who personally

post about it and the current news which is posted by news outlets which have social media accounts. Social

media is a great way for artists and other celebrities to give teasers and previews of their upcoming work to hype

up their comeback even more. All news outlets also now have Twitter, Facebook, and some even Instagram

accounts, which are used to reach audiences that no longer watch television anymore.

People even find that social media is much more entertaining, as they can go on Facebook to find memes and

funny posts and YouTube to watch beauty, comedy, cooking, etc. videos. There are increasing amounts of people

who are using social media more and more for such entertainment.

Newspapers, news on television, and even magazines are being more and more ignored because news and other

forms of entertainment are all accessible through social media. There are even times in which social media



accounts of people and news outlets post before the news would be published on television, diminishing the

importance of newspapers and even television news casts, showing that it can be considered a disruptive

innovation.

To Wrap it Up...

Social media has become so big in recent years, that it is the first thing people check when they wake up in the

morning and the last thing they are on before they go to sleep at night. Whether it is relationships with regular

people, skills needed for the workplace, cultural changes, or ways of accessing entertainment, social media has



played a big part and will continue to do so in the future. All the social media platforms continue to come out

with new innovations to further be of use to everyone, and many times prove to be disruptive. It is becoming

something necessary and required to have to partake in life in this generation.
