Social Net'g

Social Networking:

Companies use social media for many different purposes. Some uses of social media include promoting brand awareness, advertising strategies and and marketing purposes. It allows the business to get involved with the community and monitor what people think of their products. This technology allows consumers to search for products easier and quicker. People have access to reviews of products and loads of information and research based on what the internet provides. It's very useful for people so that they know exactly what they're getting and where to get it.
However, there can be a dark side to new technologies also. People can become too dependent on the internet for information. Companies may also find it easier to promote an e-business where they do not have to pay for retail space and extra money for employees. This will create a lack of jobs and the people so accustomed to the internet will start forgetting how to interact socially with other people. I think that at the rate our technology is evolving it might become hard for people to adjust because our brains can not work as fast. Once we learn one thing, something new will develop and then we will have to quickly learn that .

  1. Everything has bad sides and good sides. I think the advantages of social networking outweigh the disadvantages, because it provides convenience for us. Because of social networking, people can interact more through social media. Some people seems introverted, but are active online. Also, social networking shortens the distance among people. Friends can contact each other anywhere and anytime.

    1. Yes you are right I do agree with you that social networking has definitely made things easier and yes everything has both good and bad sides. My point is just that in today's society people have become too fixated on technology and social media networks. People have become so glued to their phone or computer that they dont interact with the real world as often but instead contact others virtually. I think social media is equally good and bad.
