When it comes to social media, you cannot get away, it is everywhere. In the social media arena whenever someone puts something out there into the world, anyone can respond. And not only one person, hundreds, thousands, millions even. With it being a platform that everyone has access to, it means that everyone is also the contributor. While we are making all the content, the big guys that own the companies are raking in the cash. With Youtube, being sold for 1.6 Billion in 2006 to google, is one thing, but now Google's assets are at an insane number of $133 Billion. All this money because they provided a platform for us to share our thoughts. The fact that anyone can share anything can really change things. For example, journalism has been impacted cause now everyone is a journalist, being able to post video, a picture at any time makes it hard for journalists to compete.
My only question is what will happen to journalism and other jobs that are being impacted by social media and the online world?
