The Rise of Social Media: Uses, Potential, and Impact
Abstract
Social media is an ongoing and growing social phenomenon. It seems that it is a rarity to find someone who is not connected to some sort of social media outlet and even rarer to meet someone who is not at all connected to the internet. This study will concentrate on the rise of internet usage and social media in today’s society as well as its effects on “the digital divide”, communication, education and workplace.
