Behave Yourself, The World Is Watching!

With 2.62 billion social media users worldwide, the world watches and reacts to everything and anything that goes online.

Before the Internet, the fastest way to get news was on cable tv or radio. From breaking news to market reports, everything would be broadcast live for everyone to watch and listen. It provided the opportunity for politicians and entrepreneurs to get noticed globally. Appearing on tv for a news program or even an interview over the radio, this was the most efficient way to speak out.

When the internet came along, things began to change. Information was available faster and more conveniently through websites. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or generally known as social media became the biggest tools in the internet. Again, both politicians and entrepreneurs saw this as an opportunity to reach the masses. They were faster and a more efficient way to communicate. Or are they really?

There are currently close to 2.62 billion social media users worldwide. Facebook has more than 2.2 billion users, Twitter with more than 336 million active users while Instagram has a billion users and YouTube sees 1.9 billion users as of July 2018. China’s Wechat and QQ has 1.04 billion and 800 million users respectively.
