After reading this article, it amazes me to see how much social media has grown since 2001, and it is growing at alarming rates. Why is social media a big thing today? Why is it growing so much? Let's look at the history of the Internet. The purpose of the Internet was to be able to send/share information over a long distance. Another words, the Internet is all about communication.
It should not be surprising that things are growing and growing online. To me it is right down amazing of all the new things that can be done online. Who could ever thought of sharing videos online by embedded coding? Who could ever thought that Twitter would exist in the 1980s? All that we have now online is amazing and mind boggling.
We are doing things far beyond most science fiction shows that I grew up with. We are about to succeed the science fiction shows and movies of today. We are doing super. Our economy might not be doing good, but we are still on top of the technology age. It makes me wonder if the reason why we are having economic issues is due to the change of the age from the industrial age that the United States of America have been in for a good long time to the wonderful and very fast growing technology age.
I have seen some YouTube videos that some businesses will not use social medias to run their business. In those businesses, they should not to an extent. The one thing that social media is not is an advertisement format. No one would want t follow those types. That is right, we all are in control of who we follow all social media formats. That means that all the spamming will have a very short life.
That is why social media is a very fast growing thing online. Each and everyone of us are in control of what we see and when we see it. There are many businesses that uses social media of all kinds. These businesses wants to communicate with their customers in real time. The ones that do not might be the ones that has caused our economy to be as bad as it is now. Only when we all partake in our community, everything will work in the right way.
The purpose of sharing this video is to show that when the community works together with businesses that are willing to work with the people of the same community, then things will excel. If more and more communities do this, then we might show our governments they are not needed, which will save on taxes. As far as this blog posting is concerned, it is social media, either online or face-to-face, that makes the difference. We should communicate with one another. That is how things get done before things start on the drawing board.
This does not destroy a Republic Government. It enhances it. When all gives their advice on the subject, the leaders in a business or even a government can use that information to do a better job. That is why President Elect Obama has the website up http://www.change.gov for all Americans to share their stories and other information that they can share. How can Obama do his job after January 20, 2009 if we do not let him know what is going on with us as individuals and a community?
That is the power of social media. We also have used social media like Twitter to share what was going on then and there, in real time, with the attack on Mumbai. This was done by individuals. This was done by you and me. How I look at it, the Internet today is like a Republic Government. We are allowed to do our thing while there are rules and policies on how we share and do on these systems.
