This week was very interesting to see the differences of traditianola media to modern media. I can't belive in such little time media has changed dramatically. I remember waiting for the local news to start to find out what new updates about our local city or what the world had to tell us. It is actually frustrating at some point because the news would give you a little taste of the top news of the day was but would not say it until the end of the news. However, the news today is faster than ever before. We actually get news as things are happening, live news but not necesaly from acceptable sources. ususally the people posting the most recent news are regular community people. then the confirmation is by the news channels late that night. for that reason we never know what to believe to be real or to be a lie. Sometimes these news updates by community people are more true than the actual news channel.
because of social media, businesses have increased sales especially those who use social media. Businesses without social media have dropped on sales tremendously. I remember when we needed to look for certain business on the yellow pages and look for what products they over. I see more and more businesses using instagram, facebook, twitter and other social media tools to stay with society and keep their business strong. Through these social media tools, these businesses learn to crowd source and use it for their advantage. When I post a picture on instagram i like to hashtag or tag the company whose clothing i am using, and that is a huge benefit for them because they don't have to do any advertisement themselves, it is just me doing it for them.
