#1 Social Media "The virtual world, affecting the real"

Some peoples wants to find their old friends or relatives those who was not in contact with them. For this purpose they created a gateway where peoples can search the others, meet them, share their interests and lovely moments by pics and videos resulting a new evolution of web called Social Media.

It gives a tremendous energy to Internet and successfully able to increase the number of people on it. This evolution led the world to a very open environment which is very different from the real world but affecting it.

This revolutionary event of changing the real world not happened in a blow but  gradually ignited by the stupid policies of the government. People since a long time badly affected by the policies which suppresses the voice of people and established a censored world where the media is also seeking only the popularity among peoples. Social Media provides a platform where people shares their view, opinions about anyone freely and feedbacked by others too. The result are extraordinary in the decade resulting a spread of historic transformation of rule over middle east countries named Arab Spring, which was started from Tunisia and covered several countries under it. Egypt, Libya, Yemen are another examples. Syria is still burning. This revolutions  was supported by Social Media in a very big manner, and provided a way to show their anger against the government.

Some rules in various countries are in scary that the Social media can diminish them too. They started censoring the content over Internet and restrict the use of Social media to stop the uprises of peoples. Communist China are the best example, where the Media and the Internet are under the shadow of censorship.

This great evolution of Internet can change the whole world and establish a better environment where people will not afraid by the government and easily share their views and opinions which truly helpful for the government too to make a people favourable policies. And this is happening. The only need is to understand the aim of Social media both by the rulers and the common peoples. We have to know the use and its effectiveness on our real life. If this will happen, Social sites are more than what we understand it today.
