I really think Social Media is the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution. The reason being is because Social Media is now very easy and affordable all around the world. It gives almost everyone around the world a chance to involve themselves in the world of media and also have their say in any topics. Social Media keeps cultures and all kind of communities united. When a person is not with their family and is alone in a totally different country, social media is one way for them keep in touch with all family and friends and keep their relationship still alive. Websites such as YouTube, Facebook and more are now great ways to advertise one another. For example, a normal person from anywhere in this world can publish his or her talents worldwide and can make great hits. More supports are found from social media. Also for many workers, Social Media is now a daily need. They are all able keep themselves occupied, connected and updated with the society and among one another. Sites such as Yahoo also allow users to ask questions which will be open to other users to answer and help out. This will increase unity among people and may result in some people’s friendship and more. Even though Social Media is the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution, it can also be a big shift of the misuses of all the great opportunities out there. Just like how it is great to ask a question which other users can reply to, there are also people who criticize and act inappropriately towards others. As much as freedom one has with Social Media, they also have the same amount of responsibility in their hands when handling with Social Media. Simply Social Media has changed so much that it gives anyone, from anywhere to access it and pretty much do anything with it.
