The Importance Of Social Media

As we look back over the past few decades, social media has started to evolve more quickly while pulling in people from all different age groups. Even older adults are joining in on Facebook and Instagram to try and fit in with the new norm social media has created. In a world that is so fast paced, it is difficult to not be pulled into the newest trends, as they are advertised almost everywhere. There are even ways to find a romantic partner with apps and websites. The power social media has can be observed all over the world in many different settings. Sadly, this power can be both positive and negative. Though, it may be hard sometimes to see the negative aspects since our society has become so enthralled with social media. First, I

Ever since World Wide Web came out in 1990, it has opened a floodgate for sharing and communicating over the internet in the form of social media. People can keep in touch with their friends and families from across the world, know what they are up to, and see all the interesting things that goes on in their lives. Keeping up with everyone and everything no longer requires tedious phone calls and email messages. Instead, we have easier, better looking, more interactive, and all around more fun ways to communicate. These new, and seemingly better in everyway, methods of communication is of course a hit with tech savvy young people and more surprisingly, also their old folks. Every new thing that came out, from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to Snapchat, is hailed as groundbreaking and completely essential to daily lives by its users. Yet they all come with less recognisable, but just as important dangers. And I am not talking about drunk tweeting, either. These are bigger and much more complicated threats. Yes, social media is a new and wonderful way to communicate and share. However, this new way to communicate has created a new face for crime and a new class of criminals, and this new way to share has destroyed our privacy and personal security. For all their savviness at using these social media outlets, many fail to realize that there are people with less than innocent intentions following their every move through their shared feeds. Social media is a threat to our

In today’s society social media has become an essential part of our lives. We check our accounts every chance we get regardless of where we are at. Everyone is a victim of social media as it is not only part of the American culture but is also seen worldwide. One big component that makes social media into the giant it is today are viral videos. New viral videos often come up on a daily basis especially on platforms such as twitter in which they cover a range of topics such as a funny target ad to a kid on the streets of New York with an amazing ability of creating a beat with a couple of old pots and pans and a pair of drumsticks. There are a countless amount of great videos that have come from going viral, but there are also those that

Have we begun to allow social media to dictate how we live our lives? The authors in Chapter 23, “Facebook: How Has Social Networking Changed How We Relate to Others?” each make compelling points to showcase how social media, specifically Facebook, alters users lives in one way or another. A few of the authors recognize Facebook’s original objective, and use it as a communication tool. Others delve deeper and question whether or not our obsession and over-use with the site is leading us to become lonelier, insensitive, envious, and self-involved.

Moreover, social media also works as a forum provided by governments to build a healthy relationship with its citizens while also allowing the government to maintain control. Before technology and social media become prominent in the mid-2000s, governments and other state actors did not believe in the benefits it would provide in terms of development. This changed when the media market became more liberalized providing more opportunities for countries to gain economic development. Kazakhstan is an example of a country’s government using social media to defy rebellions. Until the mid-2000’s, only 3% of people in Kazakhstan used the internet. This number had increased to 54% in 2013 (Niyazbekov, 2017). Kazakhstan’s government went online during the same time and ministers followed Prime Minister Karim Massimov and started blogging. The aim was to change the public’s perceptive of the government being too bureaucratic and ineffective. After president Nursultan Nazarbayev’s address to the nation in 2004, more portals opened for state services. By 2012, Kazakhstan came in 2nd place in a global rating of citizens’ “e-participation” denoting ease of access to public (Niyazbekov, 2017). However, following the Zhanaozen city protests, it signalled to the government to treat social media sites such as Facebook with caution as it was clear that it could be used as an effective tool to organize movements. This resulted in the government tightening the media legislation and cleansing

As the governing authority of the most well-known communist country, Chinese government has the absolute control over the Internet, social platforms, school textbooks and a range of other mediums. Any remark, report or topic that relates to political sensitive figures such as president, vice president or political criminals are forbidden on the Internet and whatever that may provoke social unrest or disadvantages to the government is strictly monitored and forbidden. Because of political opacity, only a few are bothered about politics, among which most of them are bitterly disappointed at the government. It is clear that owing to the internet censorship, they are too afraid to criticize outspokenly in real life, and as a result, anonymous social media becomes the only effectual channel. Though anonymity to some extent allows these “minority” people to comment on politics or even tell true stories of political scandals in social platforms anonymously without concerns to be tracked down by government officials, it is actually a futile attempt to promote the political discussion environment because of the cautiousness people have about the phrase they use or abusive words and messed-up sentences they throw at the government to unleash their dissatisfaction and rage.

Language is a property found solely in humans. It helps humans communicate feelings and ideas to those around them. Through the invention of the internet and the smartphone, a new form of communication has risen. Called microtexts, this form of communication refers to text or IM messages, and posts on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit, or other social media websites. Microtexts are limited either by the website (ex. Twitter) or by those consuming the content on these sites; if posts are too long, they might not get read. In this paper, the phrase “textual paralinguistic features” refers to capitalization, punctuation, repetition of letters, emojis/emoticons, and other features added to text that are not words with the intention of adding meaning. Let emoticons be defined as faces created by symbols found on a keyboard (ex. ;-) ) and let emojis be the small pictures typically found on mobile devices (ex.☺). The influence of social media on informal writing allows for a much more exact sentiment to be conveyed to the audience in comparison to traditional rhetorical and style devices found in formal writing. This is because the smaller chunks of writing emulate spoken language, making microtexts a more natural form of communication. Adding extra features to the text such as punctuation marks and emojis replaces emotion that may be lost in a message that is just text. Likewise, capitalization and manipulation of text can add tone to an otherwise dry message. These
