Week 13: Clear on Social Media

This week's lesson was pretty simple to grasp because it's something that almost everyone utilizes on a daily basis: social media. Take this blog, for example. It is a form of social media, specifically a part of web 2.0, and it is specifically used for a class on a weekly basis. In addition, more and more classes are being taught online, like ISM 3004, and thus social media has become a must in some instances concerning certain classes.

My favorite part of this week's lesson the impact of social media and how it "changes everything." It really is true that social media, specifically Facebook and Twitter, have become my main source of news. It was not surprising to see that the results of the poll supported the fact that most people get their information from Facebook and Twitter as well. Social media has become such a large impact on daily life that there are careers that focus specifically on social media. There is definitely a new era of internet usage, and social media is dominating.

Social media is all connected in some way or another. Check out the social media landscape by Fred Cacazza: http://socialmedialandscape.com/cms/social-media-landscape-by-fred-cacazza/
