"Social Media" the new phenomenon

I think for me...one of the best things about being born and living through this century is that I get to experience and observe how the media from just newspapers and radio stations has now started to take on a very major important world in our life. Now don't get me wrong..it's not that our parents aren't able to live through it but its rather that we(our generation) are able to see the growth of our media and especially the Internet at a very young age. Which means there are allot more for us to see before we move on!

How does it affect me?
well personally I can really relate to the video because there is so many things in the world offering the same thing and it's very crucial for us as consumers to know what is best for us. And that's why upon reflecting, I do see how other consumers rate a particular product and people's comments concerning that product. Because we all have the goal in mind which is to get the best and at the best price.

How does it affect the people around me?
I guess the new " Social Media" phenomenon has also affect them like how it has affected me. In the sense that, they too has also become more critical in their thinking. Instead on relying on their own judgement, they to now tend to gather opinions from friends and the Internet and ratings from others who know the real deal. One great example for me would definitely be my mom. Last time, when she shops for a handphone it was so much more easier for her than now because now, she wants to check and research about which brand is the longer lasting one and which style suits her or which one is value for money. So yea that's about it from me
