Social Media's Impact On Our Lives

Growing up I was glued to the outdoors; I was born and raised in the Suburbs of Chicago. If I wanted to watch TV I would have to go downstairs and use the remote to turn it on. Nowadays, you can use the remote that is on your phone in an app. Or, you could even just watch television on your phone. The world is now in everyones hands. Times have changed. Technology is advancing and the only thing that you can do is just accept it and watch. 



Our class textbook "Essentials of Social Media Marketing" by Michelle Charillo does a great job outlining the rapid growth of social media and the impact that it is going to have on our lives in the future. The textbook mentions that 70% of the current world population uses mobile devices. Phones are not just the future of TV, they are the future of social media. This is huge for the business space. Mobile phones are a tool for most in their everyday lives, and it important to follow different trends and what people are really doing on this app. Social Media also offers a lot of promise to marketers, and public relations industries; as it is quite fascinating the trends that are happening. As well as how you can strategizing to be successful on social media. It is crazy to see how technology has advanced in the recent years, with TikTok, and Snapchat, as well as others. Now just fast forward 30-40 years and just think about what the future for social media holds along with AI. Its tough to picture but it is progressing so fast, one can only dream what it will look like!

What are your thoughts on the future of social media with AI? Comment below!
