The twenty first century is all about innovation and the Internet is proof enough. With it, boundaries have been taken down and ties have been built.
The Internet has brought numerous benefits but one that may not have been predicted was its use as a tool for interaction.
Since man is a curious creature, it is easy to understand how man came to utilize the Internet to fill its curiosity.
If at first, the World Wide Web served the purpose of virtual library, today, it has been transformed into a two-way form of communication.
This type of interaction is much more interesting than simply reading through texts, watching videos or listening to taped messages.
As a platform for two-way interaction, people became more engaged, if not more engaged - exchanging ideas with each other via the various platforms of social media.
Though, social media did not rise alongside the spread of the World Wide Web. Instead, it took quite a longer time for the concept to be developed and before people took notice.
And yet, being viral as it is, social media is almost synonymous to Internet nowadays.
If one is wondering, how did this come to be, the answer will take one back to the basic reason how people became interested with Internet in the first place - connectivity.
The concept of social media is basic, it simply converted daily interactions into virtual reality. It utilizes an intangible platform into something that can actually launch something. Sounds unrealistic, right? Simply said, it is not very complicated, it is available and it is what is current.
Social media is a world of its own, it has redefined the meaning of interaction and reality.
Come to think of it, such concepts were simply depicted in futuristic hollywood movies before and yet, how easily that concept became reality.
Therefore, social media presented connectivity in a realm that was only thought off and oddly it has only shown that things happen in the real time too
