About My Term Research Paper

Social media is always changing and evolving, allowing users to do things that they would normally not do in a relatively short period of time. My term project is about the evolution of social media and the impacts that it has had on our personal lives as well as for businesses. I chose this topic because as a student I too am an avid user of social networks and other forms of social media. I felt that since social media is part of my everyday life, this would be a great way to get a better understanding of the evolution of social networks and educate myself further on the uses that it has. I started my research by using the Baruch databases and Google Scholar. I then found what I felt were the most relevant articles, blogs, and journals and read them. Through my research I learned that social media is not just a place to post comments on someones wall, but that its uses are only limited to what the person using it. All in all social media is not what I thought of it to be, but it is actually something far greater.
