Everyone that owns a smart phone, computer/ laptop or any device that is able to access the Internet takes part in online communication. Everyone is able to put themselves out on the internet, using one of the devices listed previously and by the use of social media, which can be defined as websites and other online means of communication that are used by large groups of people to share information and to develop social and professional contacts. Online communication can make a job or business run more efficiently because there is no wait for a response from paper mail, the only way it would take a long time is if the wifi happened to disconnect. Politicians and hobbyists and anyone that looks for support from other people put out personal and public information out on the internet for others to see and decide whether or not they choose to follow, but professionals put there information out in order to try and find a job. An article I have found talks about how social media is beginning to separate political parties. The author states that political leaders around the world are becoming more polarized. Social media is easier for people to say what they want to say, when in reality someone wouldn’t always say what they mean to someone standing in front of them. Twitter is a big area where people are able to say what they want to either someone or a group of people. Politicians, professionals and hobbyists also use this site to put out information for people to see. One of the biggest politicians being our president,Trump, has put out information which people have disagreed with and have fired back at him. Trump uses his twitter to gain attention from those who like or dislike him when his spotlight begins to drift away. Trump mentioned he would remove his twitter profile once he was president but just so happened to tweet an hour after inauguration. With him being in office his tweets are receiving more retweets and likes than before. Online communication will only increase.
