  1. Social MEDIA AND THE INTERNET IN POPULAR CULTURE Christopher Walker

  2. introduction • The integration of social media into the lives of many people is complete: • Monthly active social media users now total 850 million (Honigman, 2012) • 23% of Facebook users check their account 5 times or more daily (Honigman, 2012) • 250 Million photos are uploaded to Facebook every day (Honigman, 2012) • 80% of social media users prefer to connect with brands through Facebook (Honigman, 2012) • 175 million tweets sent from Twitter every day in 2012 (Honigman, 2012) • 11 new accounts on Twitter are created per second (Honigman, 2012) • 80 million users are on Instagram (Honigman, 2012) • 77% of Business to Consumer (B2C) companies acquired customers from Facebook (Honigman, 2012) My view of social media is that it is a set of tools, not a religion. Bill Keller

  3. How social media is used (Diaz, 2009) (Diaz, 2009) “Getting information off the internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.” MitchellKapor

  4. Who uses social media? • Studies have concluded that the largest group of users of social media are girls ages 8-12. Among those girls the impact was a negative measure of social well-being over time (Pea, Nass, Meheula, Rance, Kumar, Bamford, Nass, Simha, Stillerman, Yang, & Zhou, 2012). You don't have to turn on the TV set. You don't have to work on the Internet. It's up to you. J. K. Rowling

  5. Effect of removal “We'd all survive if Twitter shut down for a short while during major riots. Social media isn't any more important than a train station, a road or a bus service. We don't worry about police temporarily closing those. Common sense. If riot info and fear is spreading by Facebook and Twitter, shut them off for an hour or two, then restore.” Louise Mensch

  6. Social media and popular culture “Human relationships used to be easy: you had friends, boy- or girlfriends, parents, children, and landlords. Now, thanks to social media, it's all gone sideways.” Susan Orlean

  7. Social media Changes in past 10 years • 1997 - Six Degrees was the first modern social network but the design was static and the site closed by 2001 • 1999 – LiveJournal was the first social media site with a design focused on constant updates • 2002 – Friendster was the first modern general social network • 2003 – LinkedIn was one of the first mainstream social networks devoted to business • 2003 – MySpace grew in three years to the most popular social network in the world • 2004 – Facebook was founded for the Harvard community but by 2008 surpassed MySpace • (Social Media and Web Design, 2012) “The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life.” LeAnn Rimes

  8. Ways to access online communities “Increasingly, consumers don't search for products and services. Rather, services come to their attention via social media.” Erik Quatman

  9. Expansion of online communities “The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.” Peter Drucker

  10. Globalization and social media “Social media are a catalyst for the advancement of everyone's rights. It's where we're reminded that we're all human and all equal. It's where people can find and fight for a cause, global or local, popular or specialized, even when there are hundreds of miles between them.” • Queen Rania of Jordan

  11. conclusion You don't have to turn on the TV set. You don't have to work on the Internet. It's up to you. Ray Bradbury
