There are just over seven billion people in the world. About one in four use social media. The number of users increases 15-20 percent each year. With social media, you’ll have access to news from all over the world: political, social and business. Whatever your interest, there is a community of like-minded people on social media willing to share with you.
Real Time Communication
Social media is how we instantly communicate with each other, share videos, music and photos. It is exciting to see people sharing their daily thoughts about issues, staying in touch with family members throughout the day and letting us all see the magnificent sunset they witnessed on their way home from work.
We have never been more in touch. Sometimes we use our desktop or laptop computers for social media, but it is more common to use cell phones or tablets. We like our social media to be mobile because we are mobile. Our friends and family are all over the world, and we can stay connected to them.
Social Media Is For Everyone
Parents are aghast when their nine-year-old asks for a phone. By the time he is ten, parents have seen the benefits and the kid gets a phone. Adults are benefiting from social media because it puts them in the loop of their children and grandchildren’s daily activities. No longer do families have to go nine hours every day without communicating. Grandparents do not have to wait to see the new baby. Social media is how we live our lives, and while it will continually evolve, it is not likely it will ever go away.
In South Africa alone, 60% of the population use mobile devices to access the internet. Most of them are on social media. It is no surprise then that businesses are moving their newspaper, radio and television advertising budgets to social media. That is, after all, where the consumers are now.

Banks, shops, doctors, restaurants, schools and service-oriented businesses have or are developing their own apps so customers can access their site with one click.
