Social media is online content created by people using technologies that allow highly accessible and scalable publishing. It has transformed one-way communication into dialogue and democratized information by allowing people to be content publishers rather than just readers. Social media has become extremely popular as it allows people to connect online and form relationships for personal, political, and business purposes. It represents a shift in how people discover, read, and share news, information, and content.

2. Social media is online content created by people
using highly accessible and scalable publishing
technologies.
Social media is a shift in how people discover, read and
share news, information and content.
It's a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming
monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to
many) and is the democratization of information,
transforming people from content readers into
publishers.
Social media has become extremely popular because it
allows people to connect in the online world to form
relationships for personal, political and business use.
