Social Media Revolution

This video was created in 2011, as the Social Media Revolution. It gives detailed facts and statistics about the social media and the Internet that I always find to be chilling. In class we've talked about how much the Internet has changed the everyday lives of citizens, and this video expresses that through different online and offline aspects of life.

It's still unbelievable to me to see how much the ordinary lives of people have changed in the seemingly few years the Internet has been available to ordinary citizens around the world. With the invention of the world wide web being so recent (24 years ago) it has such an impact on the evolution of human growth and development as a society. One if every five relationship begins online, and 3 out of every 5 gay relationships begin online. 93% of businesses use social media to advertise for their companies. Facebook has more users than the entire population of the United States.

The facts are undeniable and it is so interesting to see how much the world has the potential to change so quickly and drastically. This video really helps me see the influence that the Internet has over people and their lives.
