For me...Social Media is, at its most basic sense, a shift in how people discover, read, and share news and information and content for the whole world.
At the beginning, its start with a traditional media such as newspapers, television, books and radio, social media has changed the way in which the world receives and views information. It is a best understood as a group of new kinds of online media for us. It also allows our communities to form quickly and communicate effectively such as the MSN and Facebook.
Through the help of social media, we can share our common interests,such as a love of photography or a favourite TV show. As we can said that the term of social media is used to describe the use of today’s technology to distribute information and encourage people to connect with others who share a common interest. Moreover, its allow users to actively participating in sharing information through comments, discussions, reviews and networking via text, graphics, audio and video. Internet tools allow users to actively participate in sharing information through it while the world once start relied on.
Thus, social media is a strange brew of Technology+People+Organization+Freedom. Miss an ingredient, and you are cooking something diffferent.

Freedom of speech especially, that is what differ social media from the conventional and mainstream media :)
Yea, its true that in the past people spread news through television, newspapers, radios, etc. Nowadays, social media can also spread news, which we can actually know many thing very fast and convenient through social media, through our friends and family because the message in there spread 10x or more faster than a newspaper or television, we even can watch some movie or share through it. So its obvious that social media affect our life a lot compare to our life in the past because it really replacing some things we use in the past...
