There is no doubt, social media has become a huge part of our daily lives. Social media is not a normal form of media simply comprised of news, information and ideas. It’s filled with constant contact with the world through social networking on sites like Facebook and Twitter. The power of the consumer has been increased, creativity has reached whole new levels, and information is spread far and wide to reach people in a way it hasn’t been able to before. The evidence is everywhere. People remember other peoples’ birthday because they saw it on a social networking site. Photos and events can be shared with friends or shared with the world with the click of a mouse. Companies, campaigns, and individuals have learned to advertise themselves to the masses with a couple of side ads on a homepage. Social media is powerful, and we’re starting to see its effects in all aspects of our culture.Let’s look at some stats about social media. One of every nine people in this world have a Facebook account. Not surprising, you probably have one yourself, as well as your neighbor, co-worker, boss and Aunt Sue. Twitter adds almost 500,000 users every day. Over 5 billion images can be found on Flickr. Last year, 1 out of every 8 couples in the United States met due to social media. And this one is hard to believe: social media is the powerful force that recently overtook porn and the #1 activity on the web. Take that, society.
