Social media has made a huge impact on today's society. From Facebook to Snapchat, there are so many ways to use social media as a way to communicate with not only one person but with a countless amount of people. You can decide who you want to communicate with and how many you want to. This creates endless opportunities to share what you want with the world. Each social media has its own niche while all in the realms of communication.
Facebook, being one of the oldest platforms of social media, has most of the essentials. It started as a place to share photos and videos, and now you can text, video chat, repost other’s pictures or videos and many more perks. Instagram is very similar to Facebook in the aspect of sharing pictures. Both of these platforms use the aspect of photos as a source of communication. They share these photos and use captions and comments as a way for people to communicate through pictures/videos. While this is a very simplistic explanation of what these social media platforms can do there is so much more to it and they are improving more and more with time. As they improve, they increase the amount of communication and gives more options for what you can do.
Snapchat and Twitter are other platforms of communication that are a huge part of today's younger generation. With the simplicity of 24-hour pictures and different filters, Snapchat has brought in people that become daily users from some of their applications. From news stories to streaks and more, Snapchat is very fun to use. Snapchat can be used for talking to individual people, friend groups, or even just sharing a cool picture from the day with different stickers or filters. Twitter is more about sharing brief thoughts or pictures/videos. It’s about sharing with people close to you (your followers) about something that happened in life. All of these use communication in their own unique way. While they might seem vastly different, they all have the same purpose of communicating with the people around you.
