Nowadays, almost all people even in any walks of life have a social media account, may it be Facebook, Twitter, Mylot or Tumblr. These sites are now a part of the lives of modern people. Social media networking sites have revolutionized our communication, freedom of expression, art and commerce.
Because of social media we can now communicate with our family, friends, workmates and even people from all around the world. Chatting and direct messaging are ways of communication offered by these sites. So if you ran out of prepaid credit in your phone, you can freely use your account to send messages to people you want to talk to. Or, if the one you want to send a message to is from the other side of the world, just use your Facebook or DM in Twitter then there will be no problem.
Facebook, as one example, helps a lot in re discovering your roots. Long lost friends and family members may be found on this site making you reunite which was a very hard thing to do in the past decades. Your relatives can be best reached using sites such as this. You don't only get to communicate, you also will be able to see their photos and current feeling through posts they make on the sites.
Today, social media people have become more expressive because of this very nice venues for expression. They can freely make comments regarding a political matter, argue on a recent technology or just make reviews on certain products. These help in making more people aware of what has been happening in the society. However, great caution has to be considered in making your posts because these things may make or break you.
Lastly, social media sites play a very big role in the commercial world. Advertising has become very easy and accessible to more people. Products can be exhibited, reviewed and even ordered through these sites making it more convenient to buyers and sellers. Many successful entrepreneurs also owe their triumph to social media sites because their sales marketing are made easy using such websites.
Social media revolution has really been on the rise today. It has now become a part of every person's life. It's influence to society is inevitable and indispensable. We just have to use them wisely and rightfully because technology, like Spiderman, is a great power that comes with great responsibility.

social media did rise and it's good because it's easier to communicate with friends and family through facebook than to bring them over at your house,and sometimes people live in other parts in the world far out your reach,and then it's just best to communicate through facebook and other social media.
