Week 1 | Task 1.1

Describing your thought on media use

  My thought on using social media is to communicate with each other or to gain information through the internet. Media is an instrument on communication, like a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social instrument of communication. There are bunches of example of social media such as facebook, twitter, youtube, blogs and so on. It is a new marketing tool that allows you to get to know your client in a ways that previously not possible to communicate with them. Social media are the online platforms that bring people to participate in a conversation. Example, for individu its a method to connect and share anything with their friend and for business people, its a way to involve what people are saying about your product, services, brand, and so on. They can also get into a conversation like giving a new idea and to make a better business decisions. 

Nowadays, social media is like a lifeline to everyone. Without internet or social media they might lost connection with each other. If you can see people around you, most of them communicate with each other using a social media through their laptop, phones or tablet. In a split second, they are able to communicate with each other no matter wherever they are. Regardless, in this new era, it's an evolution of how we communicate such as replacing letter to email. People nowadays especially in business line, they use a lot of emails to send messages to their clients instead of using post letter. It's fast and convenient. Plus, with social media we can create a real-time online event, extending online interactions offline, or augmenting live events online. 

In conclusion, using social media especially in business is important as learning how to use email for business years ago. We need to embrace social media and the possibilities it brings and the challenges it presents in order to remain profitable and most importantly relevant in an ever-increasing social world. On the other hand, is a two-way street that gives you the ability to communicate too. It's a platform that makes it easier to share information with each other around the world. No matter how you define social media, one thing that is for sure, it will continue to evolve and its use will expand from time to time. In the process, it will become more integrated into both our business and personal lives.
