The world of social media can be now said to be an alternate reality; people stay in this world for hours at end without being aware of their surroundings or even about themselves. Though it started out in the late 90’s as a way to connect people with similar hobbies with sites like MySpace and Six Degrees, suddenly it took over the world in a subtle manner like a boa swallowing a huge prey. Orkut became the first hugely popular social media site but was soon eclipsed by Facebook, which continues to dominate the social media scene with aplomb.
In fact, so pervasive has been the influence of Facebook, that many tech pundits are calling it to be synonymous with social media.
The impact of social media can be seen in major areas of our lives – personal, economic, social, political and even environmental. Let’s analyze each one of them and some more.
