The next big thing in digital media is video chat. I mean video chat will be incorporated in every form of media, Video chat will be incorporated in every form of media, Everyone will remain connected make friends follow others and share comments and ideas from your morning news broadcast, to Apple music, to Hulu, to Microsoft and Sony gaming consoles which will soon shift to holograms in your living room. This Digital visual, video Social Media technology will gain interest and traction for my idea by pushing out and promoting my video based chats by recruiting college students and athletes to endorse my products. It will not cost a thing, college athletes cannot be paid to endorse, but they cannot be penalized for using public technology. Advertisements will me sold through these media platforms with social video chat. This is the undeniable future, all humans want to be connected, and we are social creatures. My project is successful because we are watching it unfold today with, live streaming, Snapchat, hologram etc.
Social media culture allows for entrepreneurship at virtually any age, education, networking, and social activism. Social media breaks barriers of race, education, social class, and geographic location. New media allows people to connect with others from all over the world. Social media and new media continue to have positive effects on society.
There have been many articles urging parents to monitor for potential problems with social media. These problems include cyber bullying, “Facebook depression”, “sexting”, and exposure to inappropriate content. It is a parent’s job to monitor their child’s activity, online or offline. Parents that are not technologically savvy, their adolescent child can be bullied in school, can be exposed to sex and inappropriate content through every other form of media besides the internet and social media. An adolescent can consume media such as prime time television, film, music, the ads in a newspaper, magazine, even a billboard can expose an adolescent to sex and inappropriate content.
I believe in adapting to innovation, and moving forward embracing new technologies. Someone who is lazy or has a victims mentality will stay stagnant and just complain about technology advancements and will not adapt. These people will be left behind. Cyber bullying is just as common as real life bullying. It is a natural part of life, not everyone one you encounter is going to like you, and people will try to get in the way of your goals and will test you. A part of parenting is dealing with these issues, teaching their adolescent children preventive methods, and ways to interact with strangers, or people who are trying to do them harm. Think about all the time millennial spend on their phone.
Instant messengers, which are a form of social media, such as Aim, Yahoo messenger, and MSN windows live messenger, have had close to 500 million users combined with Aims launch in 1997 through 2009. A majority of the students in this class grew up in a world with social media already being very popular. It is difficult for a student in their 20’s to compare a time with social media to a time without social media, we have almost no recollection of a time without social media’s popularity. Social media exposes propaganda released by other conventional forms of media, before social media’s popularity and Internet such as, TV, radio, and press. Social media is more efficient and innovative because older forms of media allow very limited access between, consumers and media editors, publishers, and writers.
The majority of the students in colleges across America are millennials, and grew up surrounded by popular social media. I do not believe social media is negative, it reflects life, and the difference is you can turn off social media, if you are facing cyber bullying or harassment. To avoid social media it is as easy as logging out of an application or a website, it is really that simple.
The music industry has changed platforms of distribution over the years the way music is shared distributed and purchased has evolved with advancements in technology. With music streaming technology changing and improving rapidly, this has allowed for more access to music, like many other forms of media distribution services, and streaming services.
Music streaming is faster and more efficient. As of late there has been a revolution and war of streaming services that is fueled by profit. Music streaming services such as Pandora, Spotify, Apple music and Tidal are available apps for computers and mobile devices. Both Pandora and Spotify are available for free because they force users to watch and listen to advertisements were paid streaming options are advertisement free for subscribers.
Apple bought Beats for 3 billion in September 2014. Beats is very popular for their headphones, speakers and audio hardware, but Apple purchased beats because the company was most interested in acquiring Beat’s music catalogue. Beats were also a music marketplace similar to iTunes before merging with Apple. I believe music streaming services have a lot of work to do legally, to ensure reasonable pay to songwriters and composers, but it does lower the rate of online music pirating, since free streaming allows instant access to high quality audio music, rather than risky file sharing. The platforms for distribution will continue to evolve in the music industry and all media platforms as we have seen throughout the years, but music is a creative art form and will always be molded and shaped different through the years as well.
The film and television industry has changed platforms of distribution over the years the way video is shared distributed and purchased has evolved with advancements in technology. With streaming technology changing and improving rapidly, this has allowed for more access to film and television, like many other forms of media distribution services, and media streaming services.
Television and Film streaming is faster and more efficient than conventional television and film. I have noticed as of late the bigger the film budget the larger the box office sales opening week. There are a handful of films and television shows that make their premiere every week, and weekend. I do not think films have failed I believe there is an over saturation of film. There is also a need for better writers and more diversity on screen.

What is social media and social networking, why do people give it so much attention and importance? Who are the people using it? Facebook, Twitter and all forms of social media communication technology just a few years ago were a new kind of communication technology. These websites and applications are now recognized as household names in the United States, throughout the continent of Europe and many countries in the world utilize the effectiveness of social media. Social media has become one of the main sources of interaction in modern society and it keeps people connected. Social media has broken barriers of social class, economic class, and education, creating a world of activism and awareness.
As human beings we are social creatures. We have a natural need to connect with others and communicate with other people. We enjoy sharing our ideas, work, and art. Since the time we are children all throughout adolescent into adulthood humans have a need to communicate. In the past, due to geographical location and economic class, interaction between people was limited.
Social media communication technology is made up of individuals that are connected to one another by ideas, values, trade, and much more. Social Networking was a function that was conducted by the famous and wealthy at private gatherings. People would exchange contacts and ideas at these extravagant events.
Communication has been instrumental to a large extent to the growth of social networking, and media communication technology. Today there are a lot of online social networking sites where individuals volunteer information about themselves and their social networks. Social networking allows for all people to interact with one another. An online social networking site is a place where a user can create a profile and build a personal network that connects to users from all over the world. What used to be just an interactive activity has today taken the proportions of a global phenomenon that engages tens of millions, and in some cases even billions of Internet users.
A social network allows independent artists, music labels and video content owners to upload share and sell their content to a community of users with interests in the particular media. Users in turn benefit by being able to sample, hear, download and share songs with friends and other members.
The social network sites have emerged as a powerful and effective means for people to not only link and get connected but to use these services as effectively as possible. The popularity of social networks is growing more and more each day.
Social Media has become one of the main sources of interaction in modern society and it keeps people connected. It has broken barriers of social classes, economic class, and education, creating a world of activism and awareness. Social Media has become one of the main sources of interaction in modern society and it keeps people aware. It has broken barriers of social classes, economic class, and education, creating a world of activism and awareness. All people should use and have access to social media because of the positive impact it has had on media communication technology and broadcasting.
Facebook, Twitter and other social networking websites have changed the way people communicate with each other. Personal communication used to be about one on one interaction whether in person or over the phone. Even group reunions used to be about one on one. If you had a story to tell you would have a specific audience who was listening to you, and you were limited only to the people you could reach in your social circle or the area you are in.
Facebook, Twitter and so many other social media websites and applications have made drastic changes to the way we communicate. Now personal communication involves photos, videos, statuses, Likes, and re-shares. When a photo, or video is posted it is shown to only your online friends, depending on your privacy settings, you can share to even more people and allow the online content you share to be public and viewed by every user on your social network of choice. Therefore, your story can be transmitted to a large group of people, most of who you may have never been able to convey a message to before social media. We consciously make the decision as to what we want people to see on our social media profile pages. A photo is only but an instant, a very limited snapshot, of everything else in the real world image.
Facebook, Twitter and other social media websites are tools that allow everyone to stay in touch, easily and quickly. Before social media, there was no mass personal information sharing, other than sending a mass email. Many argue that Facebook and Twitter allow for bonds to stay strong and friends and family to stay in contact. This point is valid since before Facebook if someone wanted to know about another person they had to actively seek information. Facebook presents information to you in the “news feed,” just as a newspaper presents its news. Going by the concept of technology is what we make of it, Facebook allows you to stay close with people you are already close with, or build relationships with people and users you would have never met in person.
Personal communication is as important as ever, the difference lies within the way we communicate. Being aware and conscious about your use of social media and its possible effects allows for intelligent decisions. Though Facebook has radically changed the way we communicate, creating our lives into public forums
Where we choose what people see, as well as intensifying our societal need for independence, this section does not call for you to erase your Facebook page, it is the opposite, it seeks to highlight the way Facebook has changed communication in attempt that you will learn from it.
I will be describing the impact in media communication technology; let us beginning with Facebook. Facebook was started in 2004 formally named “The Facebook”. There are now over 1 billion active users every month. Twitter was created and in 2006. These two forms of media technology are the heavyweights of the social networks. Social media allows people to communicate with people all over the world, reconnect with old friends, say happy birthday to a relative, market your business or products, share a funny video, or start a peaceful protest that will lead to a revolution, and much more.
Social media technology drove the success of president Barack Obama’s campaign in 2006. His technology adviser Chris Hughes assisted him. Obama made history and had a successful campaign and could not have become president without the massive online outreach to voters. Social media technology like Twitter allows you one hundred and forty characters to convey your message to the public. News can be spread rapidly, through social media like Facebook and Twitter instantly. It is informal way of communicating to people without them having to reply.
Forty-eight percent of eighteen to thirty-four year olds check Facebook every morning. More than thirty percent of the entire users on Facebook are over thirty-five years old. Seventy-two percent of the United States web audience is on Facebook. Fifty-seven percent of people talk online more than they do in real life. Forty-eight percent of Americans receive their news through Facebook. Seven hundred fifty million photos were uploaded to Facebook over the weekend of new years 2013. Every twenty minutes there are over one million links shared, one million tagged photos, about three million photos uploaded, over ten million comments made over one point five million wall post, and close to three million messages sent through Facebook every twenty minutes on Facebook. Social media has help to create a global connection. Social networks and social media enable democracy and activism to mobilize. Increase access to information and improves education. Encourages accountability and transparency. Influences the media through citizen journalism.
Social media has influenced social change. In countries like Jamaica the health workers there distribute information about HIV via online social media networks. Citizens in Mexico are using social media to report information about drugs wars and cartels. In India acts of corruption are reported via social media channels. Over 30 million people viewed a fund raising video for Syria by Save the Children. The Ushahidi platform uses social media to locate people in the aftermath of a devastating natural disaster or conflicts such as the massive earthquakes in Haiti tsunamis in Japan and typhoons in the pacific saving thousands of lives in danger. Social Media revolutions have helped topple governments around the world in countries such as, Libya, Egypt, Iran, Yemen, Jordan and so many more to come. Countries that have fallen behind Europe and the United States when it comes to mobile technology are advancing at a rapid rate. In 2008 china has gone from only 17.6 million mobile Internet users to 464 million in 2013. As of 2014 there are more mobile phones in the world than there are toothbrushes Social media has become one of the main sources of interaction in modern society and it keeps people connected. Social media has broken barriers of social class, economic class, and education, creating a world of activism and awareness.
The Internet has evolved into a dynamic source of information as well as an extraordinary marketing tool that is able to reach nearly any user. The Internet has become a source for gathering timely information and converting data into profitable results at a faster rate for many firms and individuals in this revolutionary era of the twenty first century. Participants of the economy, from households to foreign markets, have found this dynamic system to be a way to reach the masses with a large percentage of the Earth having access to this knowledge. The marketing and advertising industry have gained significantly in the creation of such a wonderful thing. The Internet allows users to search out products with ease and makes doing research on given products that much more effective. Deploying Internet technologies can take attention away from focusing on core business functions; however the impact of the Internet on marketing and advertising has enabled businesses to effectively communicate with consumers and demographically hit a broader audience.
Marketing and advertising in the twenty first century have taken a whole new route in hitting the targeted market. The goal of any company when marketing a product is to sell that product to anyone that sees its advertisement. Being able to effectively market is what will keep products moving off the shelves for consumers to buy, as well as allowing businesses to thrive in these times of such economic insecurity. Consumers always want to know more about any product they are going to buy. Being able to research a product is crucial in any industry for sales.
