Sign up an account with a social networking site like the most commonly used one right now, Facebook, and be amazed by how much you can influence others or gain information like you never imagine you could have done so. It is almost like you found and stepped into a different world - magical. With Facebook, you can stay in contact with all your friends without meeting them in person, you can snoop around and see what others are up to, you get updated with the latest news, events, gossips and so on. You can also very well showcase your talents, search for friends/brands/companies/promotions and the list goes on...
I would say that it is a phenomenon in this ever-changing digital world. If you think about it, isn't it amazing that you are able to track someone or something so easily in the comfort of your home? We are talking about stalking real celebrities; getting a close glimpse of their lives, looking and applying for jobs that are halfway around the globe, or simply finding friends whom you lost touch with. Social media is such a powerful internet tool that it is strong enough to change the lives of people!
Not only is it phenomenal, social media is equally entertaining. A website like YouTube and its user-generated videos are so amusing, you would hardly find yourself bored. In fact, you might even get surprised by what you can find each time you log in. You can find talented local or overseas singers and their own music creations, look at funny but useful "how-to" programmes like "How to tie a Japanese hairbun" or merely just watching real funny videos that people took. The selection is so extensive, you won't be able to finish browsing everything. Moreover, numerous videos get uploaded by the minute. Talk about speed and efficiency! YouTube is exciting because you get to be both the video viewer AND the creator. AWESOME.
With social media with its ever-growing power, we are like kings and queens living in a magical digital world, and it's only getting better.
