Social Media is not a fad as some would have assumed in the dinosaur age. Social media has in fact impacted every aspect of advertising. Take Facebook for example most of society has one and treat it like the morning newspaper. They go on for news, ads that come up from cookies, and daily videos. They go on social media for more than just that. For some it’s just keeping in touch.

                The newspaper was a big thing back when the social network didn’t exist. Everyone would pay to get one and then read it and when they saw someone they would spread the gossip. Now a days all you do is go on a social networking site and if you find something you want your friends to see you share it. You don’t have to write letters or wait to see them just one click and they know what you know. The change is not a fad like bell button jeans.

                If you look up Tostitos chips or dip the next day you go on a social site like Facebook you will see an ad for Tostitos. This is because you cookies in your computer will log everything you look up from food to under wear. I know I’ve looked at Spencers.com for Pokémon stuff and the next thing I know I have lingerie coming up in ads. I was like what is going on and why are those on my Facebook? This is what hooks you in to social media if an ad comes up with a sale on Tostitos chips you will be amazed and then go get those chips or beg your mom.

                Daily videos are a common thing on social sites from cats to children. When you’re about 20 to 30 you see your friends and cousins having children. This follows in pictures of ultra sounds, how far the baby is, pictures of pregnant tummies, and then baby pictures once the child is born. In my opinion up until the baby is born they all look the same so it gets a little annoying. After the child is born then it’s less annoying. They show how the child is going and videos when they do something cute. This keeps a lot of family members involved in the child’s life without seeing the child in person.

                Social media with all these wonderful features has kept it going through the years its been alive. It draws you in like a fishing hook to a fish. Once you take that first bite your hooked and you can never escape; at least in some cases. The easy access to news, cookies, and videos makes it something to be desired for just about anyone who knows how to use a computer. Social media will never die until robots start to take over the world.
