social media effect
Phones are no longer just for making calls.
TV sets no longer pull in content just from antennas,
satellites or cables. [1]
The media world has changed.
One of the most
essential part of
media is
social media.
Current examples of social media platforms include social networking
sites like Facebook, photo sharing sites like instagram, snapchat,
video sharing sites like YouTube, business networking sites like
LinkedIn, micro blogging sites like Twitter, and numerous others.
Social media sites are inexpensive and, more often than not,
completely free to use. [2]
The current study identifies ten uses and gratifications
for using social media. [3]
social media
useful&joyful
according to the research
-social interaction(88%)
-information seeking(80%)
-pass time(76%)
-entertainment(64%)
-relaxation(60%)
-communicatory utility(56%)
-convenience utility(52%)
—expression of opinions(56%)
—information sharing(40%)
—surveillance and watching of others(20%)
[3]
Uses and gratifications theory is relevant to social media because of its
origins in the communications literature. [4]
Social media is a communication mechanism that allows users to
communicate with thousands, and perhaps billions, of individuals all
over the world . [4]
The basic premise of uses and gratifications theory is that individuals will seek out media among competitors that fulfills their needs and leads to ultimate gratifications. [5]
Social media includes a multitude of sources of online information that are created, circulated and used by consumers to educate one another about products, services, and brands available in the marketplace. [6]
Social media is also used as
Amarketingmethod
Recent research has shown that 88 percent of marketers are using social media and that they are spending over $60billion annually on social media advertising. [7]
Obviously,
social media
brings convenience
HOWEVER
Social media do somehow effects people in a
negative aspect.
People are spending a lot more time consuming
media – 21 per cent more, according to the
researchers. [8]
PHUBBING
What’s more,study found that teens who are on social media for more than two hours a day, afull
one-quarter of students in the study, report poorself-ratedmentalhealth, psychological distress, suicidal ideation or unmet need for mental health support. [9]
Various health bodies recommend children and
adolescents limit their screen time to two hours a day,
something that is increasingly difficult especially with
cellphone-carrying teens for whom social media is a
fully integrated part of their lives. [9]
Social networking is not
necessarily bad for teens, he
said, "but it depends on how we
use it and kids need to know
how to use it safely." [9]
To conclude, social media will bring more benefits then problems as long as we use it in
an appropriate way.
