The 21st century has become another important century for inventions and discoveries. We are only in the 2nd decade of this century currently but we have already witnessed many big innovations that have drastically changed our way of living. Bluetooth technology, broadband internet, artificial heart, genetic engineering, virtual reality, 3D printing are some to name a few. These inventions are changing the way we live, do our things and communicate with others. Even though some of these developments are in the early stage of innovation, they have a more sophisticated and promising future. Social media is one of the most important aspects that has affected each person in this modern time.

According to Heidi Cohen, Social Media are the platforms that enable the interactive web by engaging users to participate in, comment on and create content as means of communicating with their social graph, other users and the public. The power of social media has changed most of the things in our daily life. Social media has revolutionized and completely changed the way we send and receive information. It is more interactive, can be done in real-time and uses a wide number of media like text, audio, video, pictures, graphics and more. With these sites, sending and receiving messages offline and in real-time, audio and video chatting, sharing pictures, video and text, going "Live” to many audiences, meeting old friends and making new ones have revolutionized our way of establishing connections with others.

There are also negative sides to the innovation of social media and its usage. An increase in cybercrime, invasion of privacy, security threats, etc. are some of the issues associated with social networks. But at the same time, social networks are working to cope with the increasing problems that arise with the improper use of it. With more and more sophistication and versatility of use, social media have undoubtedly proved to be a boon to connectivity and social interaction between people in this age of communication and information technology.
