, SECTION A
The Background Information Of The Chosen Social Media Platform
Social media is defined by its interactivity, connectedness, and user-generated
content. In today’s society, the use of WhatApp has become a necessary daily
activity. WhatsApp is typically used for social interaction and access to news and
information, and decision making. It is a valuable communication tool with others
locally and worldwide, as well as to share, create, and spread information.
WhatsApp can influence consumer’s purchase decisions through reviews, and
marketing tactics. Essentially, WhatsApp vastly impacts our ability to communicate,
form relationships, access and spread information, and to arrive at the best
decision.
Perhaps the most influential social media (WhatsApp) is social networking sites.
Almost everyone from the ages of 13 to 64 has a WhatsApp account. These social
networking tool can be used to connect people worldwide. This means that business
meetings can be conducted internationally via WhatsApp or old friends can
reconnect. For businesses, schools, and various other groups, the communication
possibilities are endless.
These social networking platforms i.e whatsapp has increasingly grown beyond
personal use. Recently, employers have begun using social networking sites to
examine the background of their prospective candidates, as well as to host
interviews via Facebook or other social media technology tools. Groups can
schedule virtual meetings or brainstorm together even when they can’t physically
meet. This eases the scheduling pressures for school projects and board meetings.
It goes without saying that we as a society have a grown reliant and dependent on
social networking sites. Overall, we rely on social networks for connectivity and
primary communication in today’s world.
One of the largest industries that social media has had an effect on is news and
journalism. Since, the internet is now the fastest and easiest way to get news,
print media is diminishing and publications are being forced to post their articles
online. Another effect of this advanced technology is that virtually anyone can now
deem themselves a “journalist” and produce news that they feel is accurate and
credible. Almost instantly we can create, share, and spread newsworthy or gossip
stories across the globe. Social media has only made this easier. Top news stories
are being broken via Twitter and other social networking sites and people worldwide
are made aware of them almost instantaneously. The power of social media has
allowed our society to be much more knowledgeable of worldwide affairs and news.
