More recently than in years past, digital technology and social media have grown to become a part of our everyday lives. The recent rise in those who own smartphones allows this everyday use of digital technology and social networking to be easier than ever before. At any time and any place, we have the ability to “socialize” with nearly anyone—even celebrities who have no idea most of us even exist. The continuous consumption of digital media has altered once personal face-to-face communication to just that, digital. More and more people seem to be living in what Sonia Maasik and Jack Solomon call “The Cloud”. “The Cloud” is a seemingly alternate universe of which communication is altered from personal to digital. This universe has led to debates over whether or not these online communities are real or whether social media is actually social. Various digital media sources also encourage users to create individual identities, of which may or may not actually be real. It seems as though our reliance on digital technology and social media have allowed the determination of certain aspects of our lives. Although social media allows us to connect with nearly anyone at any time, Americans have taken advantage of its use, and their attention has been drawn away from real life interactions to digital ones. The ramifications of such influences reflect the hidden insecurities of Americans and, ironically, emphasize our inclination to boast about ourselves by allowing others to see the

Due to technology and social media, the way media is now distributed and received in the public has changed tremendously over the years. It’s not a matter of how a crime is committed or portrayed to the public, but how quickly the information of the crime is received now. Not only is the media received more quickly by the public but the information is being redistributed back to the public for more people to receive the information. This occurs through many social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, and You Tube, just to name a few.
We cannot deny how big of an impact social media has on our lives now, not only on people but businesses too. It has opened a whole new door to the business world and given them a big opportunity to interact and attract a larger amount of customers. It’s given us a new and faster way of communication by exchanging pictures, stories, news, blogs, online discussions, etc. In exchange businesses have benefited by a long shot just by the click of a button.

It’s imaginable the countless business attributes of all social media to this day and still is growing. Social media
Social media becomes important in people’s lives despite age, gender, social level, profession, language or locality. Modern technologies are used by individuals including student nurses across the world for different purposes, such as, to stay up to date with worldwide news; exchange information or ideas and share views; aid in recovery and education; keep in touch with family and friends. This comes with great responsibilities for nurses not only to become confident social media users and incorporate this knowledge into practice for patient and nurses benefits, but also to be aware of organisational policies and legislations in the workplace to avoid consequences on a “legal, ethical and professional” level for improper use of social media (Kientz & Kupperschmidt, 2011, p.1).
The evolution of social media has been a controversial issue over the years. Since its beginning, it has had a historical impact on everyday life by changing the way we talk and interact with one another. Social media represents both positive and adverse effects on society, but does one side tip the scale more than the other? Online social media surrounds almost everyone in the modern society, and its worldwide popularity has empowered all generations to be connected and actively participate in the sharing of ideas. Online social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, have dramatically changed and influenced the way the new generation is growing up as well. Likewise, these platforms contain a significant amount of information and functions that give all users from all aspects of life the ability to share material with others across the world at lightning speed. With all the great things social media offers, it also presents undesirable characteristics that seem to negatively influence people, and more specifically young children, to the point where many have ultimately rejected the idea of joining the online social community. Social media has also provided people, who intend to use the service only to do harm, the ability to reach victims across the world. Additionally, social media has exposed the young generation to internet bullying, violent and misconstrued news and mature content that is beyond their level of understanding. Another undesirable characteristic of
There has been a tremendous amount of change in the global markets in the past few years. This has predominantly due to the fact that there is a shift in the consumer mindset, consumption patterns, changes in demography and organizational attitude brought through by advancement in technology. This has led to a change in marketing strategies and practices across the world. Marketing thinkers and companies are prompted to frequently re-think their strategies and adopt new theoretical and practical approach to address specific marketing changes and also to think beyond the scope of traditional marketing theories (Constantinides, E, 2006). A majority of the changes were influenced by the
Social media is a controversy topic in today’s society. Some people think that social media destroys human interaction and real life human relationships. While others think that social media is a bless to humanity. Social media makes human interaction much more convenient and much faster than real life human interaction, it makes globalization a reality, it gives a chance for introverted people to express themselves, and it also benefit develop international relationships whether its business or social.
There have been a lot of changes since social media has been involved in the land of gaming. Games aren’t all about the story or the quest, it has become more interactive digitally with other members. This includes online multiplayer mood on gaming consoles, personal computers, smartphones and tablets. Two or more people play the same game and communicate, either using webcam applications like Skype or message through Facebook Messenger. There are other great social media applications or websites used to accomplish these tasks, but Skype and Facebook are broadly used. Skype having 560 million users (Skype Company Statistics, 2017) and Facebook having total of two billion users (Statista, 2017). Video games have come a long way from the beginning, players can now use controllers only to connect to players from almost any country instantly. Video games range from health problems, social skills, positive team building exercises, depending on each player and their own game habits (Youngkyun Baek, 2014).
Technology has had a huge impact on education in recent years. Although there has been an increase in learning methods, technology has also made students increasingly distracted. This subsequently gave rise to the increasing need for teachers to facilitate the use of technology in the classroom. To make sure that their students stay focused and to fully utilize the potential of technology, Ministry of Education (MOE) Singapore must leverage on its main resource, teachers. MOE should utilize technologies such as collaborative technologies and social media where teachers can be present to facilitate. The effectiveness of these strategies would depend on the efforts of the teachers. MOE should provide proper incentives to these teachers and implement quotas or requirements for teachers to meet.

Social media has gained immense popularity, following increased access to the internet and technology devices including smart phones. Social media is used to denote platforms in which people build and share social connections; thus enhancing information sharing and interaction. Major examples include Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and Instagram. Through social media, people can connect, interact and exchange information such as pictures, videos and other digital media by registering as users in these platforms and updating information affecting their lives on their profiles. When social media applications came into existence, these were mostly used for interacting and sharing with friends, relations and new friends acquired through these platforms. Social media has however been constantly abused, as people turn it into a ground to vent, lie, insult, bully or threaten others. The social networks no longer serve their intended purpose in the society and users have taken advantage of the free space to say whatever they want with no regard to how it affects others. People have used such domains to brandish their selfish acts and gains.
Journalistic ethics code and the freedom of the press are guidelines. Many reporters feel that they can post whatever they want, on Social media, without doing thorough research and/or verifying information. As a consequence, this “false media”, can cause confusion , fear, or cast unneeded attention onto a certain topic. Some even have nefarious agendas to cause fear and confusion and/or control of society(opposing governments). Is posting inaccurate and inflammatory information on social media websites like, facebook, snapchat, and Youtube... violating the Journalistic code of ethics? We all have the right to accurate, fair and thorough media. Should reporters that are aware of the whole story be held liable for editing information for the purpose of deception? False statements of fact may generally be punished if they are knowing lies, though generally not if they are honest mistakes (even unreasonable mistakes). There are, however, some situations where even honest mistakes can be punished, and a few were even intentional lies are protected. When Orson Well’s aired a mock u.f.o. Invasion on live radio that many believed to be truth, he inadvertently caused a panic. Looking back at this event I have laughed; thinking of those silly people not able to tell that it was makebelieve. Now when I read articles I can truly, understand how they could have been confused.
Despite the fact that we’re already in the 21st century, society continues to show signs of progress and development strongly leaning towards the direction of advancement, constantly evolving. This pattern is no different from the world of advertising, as it has also evolved through the years and quite recently an unexpected technological innovation took the world by storm. It made such a tremendous impact that eventually led to the transformation of traditional marketing, and it’s no other than social media that we all learned to love.
Social media and the internet have changed the way people in the music industry do business, along with how people in society receive music. People in the music industry have had to reevaluate everything that they have done in the past, in order to adapt to how things are now. Artists are now taking control of their own careers; because of that major labels are not making as much money as they did before. Through the internet and social media artists have been releasing there own music on sites such as YouTube, Sound Cloud and ITunes, and labels cannot do anything to stop them. Major labels do not have to do as much work developing artist, because the artists that they sign have their own fan base. Major labels are signing artists based off of what the artist can bring to the label, along with providing them contracts that can generate a lot of revenue for the label. Major labels are not making as much money, but they are still surviving. In other words, things seem to be manageable.
