3. Technology and Social Media: As a whole, technology has a huge part in the development of social media, I'm sure we can all agree on that. Without the creation of cell phones, computers and tablets, social media wouldn't even be a part of our world. There would be nothing we could use to access all the websites that we visit almost everyday, and without technology, our lives would be completely different now than they could be if there was no tchnology.
4. Economics and Social Media: Social media has changed the way that companies need to advertise their products, because television ads have stopped being as effective as they used to be. In order to get people aware of products they put advertisements up on social media websites where a lot of people can see them. Companies also have pages that you can 'Like' on Facebook so you can keep up to date on new products that they release. It has affected our spending habits now that we can make purchases online, and we have less restraint when it comes to buying prodcuts, in my opinion. We are easily influenced by the ads we see and the recommendations we hear.
