My perception on social media

Social media has been one of the biggest shifts since the industrial revolution, and in my opinion it is here to stay. The reason I believe that social media is just not a Fad, is because of the amount of people currently using it today, and the amount of new people/business continuing to join. The stat that "200 million users signed up to Facebook within the first year" blew my mind. This stat has made me realize how important social media is to  individuals. Facebook may not be the primary source of social media in ten years, but i think people will still being using social media to gain information, communicate, sell goods, market products and many other functions. Humans like to be up to date with recent events, and social media has made it easier than ever to obtain that information. Social media has helped not only individuals, but also business become more efficient. As long as people continue to use social media, Businesses will too. Business keep up to date with social media, and can prosper and grow using social media to attract and maintain customers with their company. In conclusion, Social media in my opinion is the biggest shift since the industrial revolution and will remain one of the biggest advancements in our society for many years to come. The fact that Social media is so quick and efficient is why people will continue using it.
