Why do we need Social Media?

Social media = the future of sales and entertainment platforms.

5.24 billion users worldwide is good for 63.9% of the global population using social media in 2025. Why? Well, Generation Z has grown up with technological advancements at a rapid pace since the very first “I phone” came out. The world has never been the same after that. Kids have grown up with technology having the same dependence as food and water in many ways. Technology is advancing everyday, along with the needs of those who use technology everyday. People want information faster, and they want tech to eliminate hard tasks for humans. Many choose to view this as a negative topic and would think that all this tech is gonna make humans lazy. But in reality it’s gonna save people more time to do the things they genuinely enjoy doing, rather than being forced to wait.

Since the Covid-19 Pandemic, many were forced to work from home. While many could not wait to get back into the office, some were quite keen on staying home. Thus, a new zoom workforce was established. Online sales became more accessible, more popular, and more normal. Online entertainment had reached an all time level popularity at the same time. The question is why? Well the younger demographic are the most active users, all with whom have grown up with technology, and younger people are usually spending more money!
