Social Media

Social media:

           Social media refers to interaction among people where they create, share, and exchange information/personal messages through digital means or networks. Social media plays a large role in communication today, as news and information travel faster through social media than any other media type. Social media can relay financial news, political developments, personal messages, and opinions instantly to a large group of people.

                   Some social media requires the creation of a profile or secure account, like Facebook or twitter. These media types tend to be more secure and less vulnerable to corruption online. However, open chat-rooms and other similar social sites are much more likely to cause individual or large scale harm due to lack of control and mediation within the site.
