I think that Social Media is the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution. In a timespan of less than ten years the face of Social Media has changed dramatically. In today's world you can access Social Media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and YouTube from pretty much anywhere and at any time. There are now applications that you can download to your cellphone within minutes to be able to connect directly to your Facebook or Twitter accounts.
Before it was difficult to contact any friends or family members who lived in other provinces or countries but now a days you can chat directly online with someone who lives on the other side of the world. You no longer have to wait around for emails from people, the most commonly used Social Media websites now have an instant messenger where you chat directly and for hours without any interruptions o wait time.
Using your cellphone you can take a picture, and upload it to your Facebook and in a few seconds all your friends and family can access and post comments on it. You no longer have to wait weeks to be able to print and show the pictures you have taken on your camera, they can see anytime, anywhere thanks to Social Media tools.
Overall the revolution of these Social Media tools has evolved and changed the way we socialise among each other, it’s easier to chat online then to pick up the landline and call a friend up.
