How Web 2.0 Has Forever Changed Online Communication And Communication

Fan clubs, social media groups and online interactions are more popular with T.V. series than most movies. Why is that? Because a television show will last for weeks, hopefully years – building an ever expanding following. Look at show like “Game of Thrones,” “The Big Bang Theory” or “The Vampire Diaries” for powerful examples of fan based culture online. (Cable, 2012) Look at “Breaking Bad”. That show started small and thanks to the new distribution methods as well as near-rabid word-of-mouth from audiences who’d seen it and loved it, it ended up a juggernaut. (Heritage, 2013) The way T.V. promotes their shows is a skill

In the modern age that connects all forms of social networking, fans of movie adapted novels like Divergent are given all new opportunities to take part in the fiction world they’ve grown to love. Through what Henry Jenkin’s calls “convergence culture,” fans of Divergent are able to insert themselves into the story by taking online quizzes, answering fan-directed questions on social media, and exploring exclusive content that allows an inside look into the movie.

This is where the freedom of speech the internet allows comes into full practise, the abundant unregulated content of the internet as no limit. The internet has evolved to give people this sense of freedom, which inevitably results in abuse.. This is perfectly explained by David Gauntlett’s Web 2.0 theory. Web 2.0 has enabled all kinds of people to be creative, to share the things they've made, and to collaborate with others. Gauntlett argued that Web 2.0 as allowed us to become our own producers and create our own identities and even influence other people just as celebrities do. A great example of this is the story of Justin Beiber, a now worldwide superstar followed by many, started by using the web 2.0 to the fullest by regularly posting creative videos of himself on YouTube, another powerful mass media median. The freedom allowed by web 2.0 allowed him to reach an audience without strong support from television and radio. This lifted him to superstar status. Take for example the twitter accounts of such a celebrity like Justin Beiber, who is effortlessly portraying a persona of a super loved mega star on twitter by having over 37 million followers, however new research claims out of his 37.3 million followers, only 17.8 million are linked to real accounts. The website Socialbakers found 47% of the singer's followers on Twitter were genuine fans.

Thirty years or so ago, the average American would be hard-pressed to name a single Korean pop star. Today, the South Korean singing sensation Psy is world-famous, thanks to the rather random fact that his catchy tune "Gangnam Style" was a YouTube sensation, garnering millions of 'hits' from users all around the globe. The song spawned multiple Internet parodies and even earned Psy a lucrative Superbowl advertisement contract as the spokesperson for Wonderful Pistachios.

Since the introduction of Social Media in 1997, Social Media has redefined and radically changed communication and has become an important part of modern day communication. Social Media has made people much more connected to the rest of the world. Furthermore, Social Media has allowed people to interact and stay connected with each other regardless of where they are in the world. Social Media has also allowed people to share information and opinions to a wide audience. In a recent large-scale study conducted by Common Sense Media, Teens spend up to 9 hours consuming media. Social Media has changed how we share information and consume information.

The social media is one of the most common ways of communication and pretty much of knowing anything and everything around the world these days, and it is growing very rapidly. It changes and affects each person in a different way, or ways. Some may argue that social media has a bad influence on children and young adults, and that it negatively effects their brains, character, or personalities, while most people see that the social media has a more positive effect on them than a negative one. Moreover, social media has helped many people around the world to connect, or re-connect, with each other, easily.

Throughout this essay I will be discussing how the digital age has transformed society in many ways. The digital age also known as the information age, is the evolution of technology in daily life and social organizations have led to the fact that the modernization of information and communication processes has become the driving force of social evolution.” This is a time period in which we live in now where Internet and email are available; this is an example of the digital age.

Another key point is that the current active social media accounts have a penetration of 29 percent, with, notably, 1.685 billion active mobile social accounts (Kemp, 2015). Nearly more than a half a decade ago, it was the first time the number of items connected to the internet outmatched the human population. Statistics revealed that in 2015, 25 billion devices will be connected to the internet, a number expected to rise to 50 billion by 2020 (FTC Staff Report, 2015). Surprisingly, in 2020, the U.S. is expecting to have 26 billion connected devices (Truste, 2014), encompassing more than a half the global users. The trend of this technology is not heading to a halt any time soon and has, under these circumstances, been associated with numerous health benefits and challenges for users. While people with internet devices can now better monitor their health through mobile apps that track everything from their medical history to their food intake, there is still cause for concern that internet devices possess the potential to cause mental health problems such as increasing stress levels and negative effects on emotions as well as effects on physical health such as increasing threats to the immune system and chronic pain.

In today’s world Internet has become one of the most important mediums of communication. It has become the lifeline of our survival. It has removed the entire social, economic and physical barrier and has immense effect on our day to day activity.

As a result, people have multiple preferences in TV programmes but nowhere to express their opinions. “One-way” communication in television industry is facing a big challenge. Web 2.0 comes out and provides a revolutionary opportunity for television industry, after that, social television is born at the right moment.

From the beginning of the Internet’s growing popularity, it continues to provide a way of communication that allows for mass access and transfer of information. However, this convenience also comes with negatives such as the ability for abuse by users—harassment, stalking, illegal content—as well as other psychological problems such as addiction and poor self-esteem (Yang and Tung, 2004; Armstrong, Phillips, and Saling, 2000). Communication on the Internet is further expanded by websites such as Facebook—an online social networking site—along with numerous other social media platforms, changing the way we socially interact with others and creating similar issues as the ones internet use brought.
