When I decided to chose Social Media as an elective in my business degree, I wondered, "Why do I want to study this?".
A lot of people around me thought of I was doing it because it would have been a breeze to do and although it was quite a straightforward subject, what made it so much better is that it is such an amazing and interesting concept. In fact, it was just so much fun! I was very eager to study the topic about social media as I knew that there would be so much more to it than what meets the eye. Lets think about it, almost everything we do is through the internet and social media just continues to grow and surely enough, businesses around the world will continue to use this platform for the benefit of their firm.
I find it amazing how much technology has grown so fast and become such a vital part of our existence. When we really look at it, we can barely cope without our mobile phones for a minute, we are constantly staying connected with people online through social media and we're pretty much finding robotic alternatives to do our jobs for us.
What's more is that when you think all social media concepts have been thought of and introduced, there comes another one! I truly did not think that anything else would come up after Instagram and Pinterest. But now a new iPhone application called Vine (my favourite of them all!) has begun in the social media circuit, where you can make a 10 second video clip of ANYTHING you want. You can hashtag or tag people to the clip like you would on Twitter and Instagram.
With what we have been able to achieve in such a short amount of time, I can only imagine that technology will be far more intense as time goes on. Whether it's a great move for the future or it completely changes the dynamic of life we are so accustomed to, social media is here for the long run.
