- 5. ‘Facebook’ and ‘Tumblr’ are the two main sites that are increasingly being used for social networking and blogging. Some of the social networks that I use are Facebook and Instagram. I use Facebook as a way to communicate with others and instagram just for fun. Instagram is a mobile app where you post pictures of anything to gain followers and get likes. Instagram is also a lot less private than facebook . Skype can also be used to communicate with others as it allows us to connect with people all around the world using the internet. Skype is really good because it is for free and can be used on the go when download as an app on mobiles.
- 6. Today mostly everyone in the world uses social networking sites, some people use them to share their lives with family and friends and others just to keep in contact. I think that these sites are used more regularly because now we are able to update our status and post on our blogs through the use of mobiles, computers and tablets. As a result of this we are able to keep in contact where ever we go. This also means that we are coming into contact with the social media more often , and because of this we are constantly being shown advertisements. I think that the increase in the use of social media and the developments in new technologies has allowed smaller businesses to expand and grow. Now they are able to advertise not only in their communities but also in wider areas. They are also able to receive reviews from real people, which will in turn help them grow even more.
- 7. What I find interesting about the media is its ability to connect everyone and anyone, the developments in the media and how its helped to encourage change in society. The media affects us as a society because no matter where we go we are always surrounded by the media and are always absorbing its messages. The media is very influential because of this, in some cases it is really good but can also be bad. Rosalin Zein 12 Pius.
