Social media has given people the ability to create and
distribute their own content to an audience and sparks conversation. While certain social media networks and
tools may come and go (there will always be something new and better), social
media as a mass is here to stay. It has changed the way we are able to
communicate with one another and companies are able to target specific audiences
and interact with the consumer.
Through social media we are able to connect with people all over the world with similar interests. As a freelance graphic designer & web developer being active on social media and having a blog has definitely aided me in gaining clients. Bloggers, entrepreneurs and companies are able to find designers whose style and ascetics fit with their branding and company's image. It doesn’t stop with just designers though; social media has helped a wide variety of professionals in various industries across the globe to get their name out there and build valuable connections.
Companies use social media to influence our choices and what
we buy. By interacting with us through social media it helps create brand
loyalty. I know that I am more likely to purchase something from a company if they have a
strong social media presence and relationship with their customers.
Above all else, social media is just plain, simple fun. It’s fun to be able to share photos, videos and your day with everyone. It is a great way to stay in touch, especially with friends & family who may live far away or even in a different country. It has helped people connect and communicate from across the globe. Social media has the ability to build meaningful connections; many people find their partners through dating websites. It has revolutionized the way we are able to connect with one another.
I truly believe that social media is here to stay and personally consider it to be the biggest thing since the Industrial Revolution. Years from now, social media may not exist in the exact same format as it is does today as the digital age is constantly evolving and improving itself. There will always be the next big thing in terms of applications and networks – but social media as a culture isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It can only get bigger.
