The Power of Social Media

If the user lacks self-control, social media, a rapidly growing popular knowledge channel, can become dangerously addictive. The invention of social media brings many wonderful results. The biggest problem is how fast news spread. Just click on the screen several times, anyone can share the news you want. But the mistake in this behavior is that the wrong testimony will spread as fast as the real testimony. The problem is whether continuing to use social media is sufficiently negative for people.

The power of social media is wonderful if social media (after all eventual media) is people for people's free news. But it can also be a terrible thing as it spreads carelessly, through mischief, lying, spreading of false information, and dominating and actually changing the course of history. When I look at statistics, I assume that people can not tell real news and forgery (or ask for acceptable explanation, hope). But if the survey for more than 1,000 American adults in December 2016 of Pew is correct, most people would very well know that they are spreading false news on Facebook.

I think the power of social media in social sports is attractive. I was skeptical before class. As an avid social media user, I have regarded it as an effective means of communication, but I have never been an important platform to stimulate social change. There is a possibility that only one social media exchange will make a difference in the birth of the whole sport and the problem is hidden. Social media also shows that these two moves are catalysts to boost sports and get them started. Juris stated that Twitter and smartphone allowed the announcement of the event and led to a large number of people gathering protests (Juris). This strategy may be useful in 2011, but I think that it has grown tenfold. When I search the days after the presidential election in 2016 on Twitter, a lot of protest pictures and videos are spreading.
