Social media allows for consumer-generated content that is easy to share with little or no cost. It enables people to share information with friends and colleagues over the Internet using social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Twitter, which facilitate interaction and conversation. Social media is important because the average young person in America spends over 7 hours a day on electronic devices like phones, computers, and TV, and those aged 16-24 have come to expect information to be brief, instant, and constantly available through growing up online.
