Needless to say, social media has forever changed the way society works, whether it’s the sharing of an idea, the communication of news, or the availability of a product or service. Society today is on the verge of a new way of existing that it’s never experienced before. No longer will people from one side of the world be really able to say that they will never see a person or communicate with someone from the other side of the world ever in their life. No longer will people not be able to share an idea, if they really want to share it (no matter how radical it may be or no matter how many people may disagree with it). No longer will the spreading of information or the expressing of an opinion be able to be completely silenced. As long as there is a person who wishes to express their opinion, share their music or art, or simply say hello to another human being in another country or culture, social media will allow them to do so.

  2. Good insight:) Social media has definitely changed the way we live our lives for sure. Like you’ve said, it allows people around the world to express themselves much easier but there is still a restriction in some countries where there isn’t freedom of speech. So it’s harder for them to voice out their opinions despite them wanting to do so. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the existence of social media.
