Social media consists of 3 main topics

Concept (art, information, or me).

Media (physical, electronic, or verbal).

Social interface (intimate direct, community engagement, social viral, electronic broadcast or syndication, or other physical media such as print)

We are bombarded with media on a day to day basis. This leads me to believe you can shape someone's ideologies and beliefs through media. They can command us to remember things for examples slogans from insurance companies can make us remember their telephone numbers and cement their name into our brains subconsciously)

The internet has revolutionised social media as it is easily to access and very fast. Social networking sites which allow you to interact have flourished recently such as facebook and twitter which are growing more and more popular.
