Social Networks and New Media

Now, take a moment to think about social networks and new media. What do these concepts mean to you? Are they related or different? How do you believe social networks and new media have and will change how we communicate with one another?

To me social networks is a way of connecting and networking with friends over the internet. We are social creatures so with the options we have to be social us as humans take advantage of it. Everyone is also curious and social networks let us look into peoples lives a little bit at a time regardless if they like it or not. Social Networks open up a bridge of connection to everyone around the world. New Media to me is a magazine, journal, or news channel. Media lets people know what is going on in the world. Some good things and some bad but media always lets people know the news of the world. Social Networks and Media can be similar in some aspects but also different. Social Network and New Media both share the news. Although social networks are more personal as in knowing what is going on with your friends or enemies. New Media gives local news, national, and even international news that may not effect you personally. Social Networks can also share new media news if the individual on the social network device choses to follow or look at the news media site. Social Networks have given people the ability to communicate even if a telephone is not available. People report news media on social networks which is a way to communicate. People always are communicating and social network gives people the ability look at news media in a quicker and simpler way. Most of the world is impatient so the faster and simpler a person can do things that person will do it.
