Exploring Our Power of Music

Music is something every human has enjoyed throughout history. There is easily a type of music for everyone too. Many of us take music for granted and don’t take the time to listen to the lyrics and understand their meaning. One may be surprised by the amount of people who view music more than just sounds or an art. Music, as many know, is a form of expression. People express different things through music to different audiences. Music can be seen just as important as language because people can relate to what the artist is conveying, therefore bringing everybody together. When one thinks of the things that are consistent in our daily lives, music should come to mind. It is said that music is one of the most important therapies in life. Music helps people understand the lives of others. This in return can help us learn more about what is going on inside of us and our feelings. Music plays an important role by giving its listeners an idea of the artist’s culture, background and personal experiences. There are important social ties with music such as going to concerts or parties, where music is essential for people to socialize. Music can introduce people to different perspectives about what is going on in the world. Music, in a way, expands the way people think. Music is a strong force for creative minds to flourish with creativity. In total, music is an important instrument for people to use as a power to express themselves in a way that will connect them to other people and change the course of each other’s lives.

Music is critical to a person by allowing them to experience and express feelings that can connect them with another person who is feeling the same way. This experience of expression through sound is very much a real power. I have found myself many times expressing myself through music. Even when I am just listening to music, I still express the way it makes me feel by just simple gestures. This expression of music has been essential in my life. When I was younger I did not have an easy childhood. My parents being separated was very difficult for me at a young age. My parents always fought and I felt that I was the cause. When I spent time with my dad on the weekends, I would listen to what he had playing on the radio. It was normally metal with occasional classic rock. I could relate the aggression in the music to the aggression I felt inside. As I grew older, I soon realized that I could let loose when I would listen to music; especially at concerts. I began going to many concerts, where I could freely let my emotions loose while listening to the music live. One of my interviewees had a similar feeling about music being an expression. When I asked her what music meant to her, she said “I feel that music is undeniably a way of expression. Several songs and even genres capture and express everyday moods and problems I struggle with.” And then she went on to say “When I listen to music, I feel that I am not alone. I understand that there are other people who experience exactly what I go through and music brings us all together.” This just proves that music is so powerful that even a personal expression could connect us to other people who share the same feelings with a song or artist.

            Have you been to the gym lately? I ask this because if you have been recently, you can take a look around and see that a good majority of people are listening to music. The power of music can be a source of inspiration, motivation, and change. I know for me that when I am in need of inspiration or motivation, the first source I go to is music. I can already hear lyrics voiced in my head when something happens in my life. Once, while I was going through a very difficult breakup, music was the only thing keeping me motivated. I swear for that month and a half of grieving, the only thing that made sense were the lyrics to my favorite band, Under Oath.  I know that I can go and listen to that song and it will change my mood or inspire me to change something in that situation. Another person I interviewed, who produces music, had a great insight into music. When asked where he would be without music, he replied “I would be the normal people you see walking around with no emotion no motivation to be or do anything with themselves. Music makes me motivated whether it’s to inspire me to just dance or get up and work on some of my own music. Without music I would have no aspirations considering music is a vital part of what I plan on doing for the rest of my life. I live, breathe, and survive for music.” I could literally feel the power of music coming from his statement. Music not only inspires my friend to create music, but it fuels a certain passion within him. This passion is drawn out by and only by the power of music. Without this power of music, my friend’s passion unfortunately, would be dormant. Jimi Hendrix, a famous rock and roll icon, once said “Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” Well, Jimi really was not lying when he said music does not lie. Through his music, Jimi Hendrix changed the course of rock and roll in so many aspects such as stage performance and how rock and roll sounds today. It’s mind-blowing to think somebody’s music can influence decades of people to make music or to stand up for what they believe in.

            Without the power of music, life would be dismal. Music is a force that seems to color the world a brighter place to live in. However, some of my critics may disagree that life would be dull without music. Some may argue that music is just a bunch of noise. Others could argue that music disrupts the natural sounds of the world. However the case may be, does the evidence I have cited prove conclusively that music makes the world a brighter, better place? I obviously cannot directly refute these objections but I have and will present evidence that suggests otherwise. When asked what life would be like without music, one interviewee answered “Without music in my life or in the world, life would be dull. I could not imagine a party without music, or no concerts being held.” Another answered plainly “without music I would be dull.” While it may be true that music is not everything to life, it does not necessarily follow the notions that music is just noise or that disrupts nature. I say this because music is human nature. It is one of the oldest ways that people have communicated and expressed themselves. Music is so ingrained in human culture in general that without it, people could simply not be themselves.

Since I can remember, music has been the cornerstone in my life. The power that music has is something serious to me. Whether I am moshing and expressing myself at a concert or contemplating my life with music to inspire in the background, I always know in the back of my head the impact music has had on my life. When I share my experience with music to others, I am very happy to hear others share similar experiences. I am reluctant to hear when somebody is taking music for granted. If there is a slight notion of doubt, I would recommend taking a closer listen; it could be a life-changing, powerful moment.

I agree that music has a great power. It makes people happy, makes people sad, inspires people, and heals people’s broken heart. I listen to music everyday, I can’t take subway or walk in the street without my earphones! One thing I find interesting about music is it helps deepen our memory.When I listen to a song that I loved a few years ago, I can recall the scene, the people and even the feeling at that time when I was listening to that song. This is so amazing. There’s a time, I kept playing the same song for a while when I was on my way to school. So if now I listen to this song again, I can clearly remember what I saw on my way, how I felt and what I was thinking. 

In conclusion, I guess we have a reason to listen to music when we study, which can help us to memorize. But sadly, we can’t listen to music when we take the examinations.

An Analysis of Bodyspace

In the last few years global economic integration, as well as new technology (like the Internet, and airplanes) have made international communication more and more frequent. Since every culture has its own characters what are shaped by local specific history, custom, social habits, we are all deeply influenced by their our own national culture. Our local culture helps us shape our customs, habits, worldview and beliefs. When different people from different cultures interact, there the differences in culture can cause some conflicts. Not only do problems arise because individuals from different cultures may not share a common language or history, but also because they come from social backgrounds that have different proximal values. 

     Proxemics is the study of body space, which many is not the first issue that comes to my mind when studying communication because it is non-verbal, and in many cases an unconscious form of communication. However, different cultures have incredibly different social norms when it comes to body space, and this can cause misunderstandings, embarrassing moments and conflicts when individuals from different cultural backgrounds interact. 

I will analyze the differences between each country, why those proxemic habits are the social norms, and discover how to avoid cultural conflicts. 

     In 1959, the American anthropologist and sociologist Edward T. Hall put the first official conception of interpersonal space forward (The Problems of Proxemics). He observed that there were patterns in the space between people when they communicate with each other. He decided to research these patterns, in order to discover exactly what factors affected an individuals body space. He realized that proxemics is affect by many different factors including, age, gender, nationality, ethnic background, and location. 

     According Hall, there are four types of interpersonal distances among our daily sociality communications (Brown). First is public distance, the specific range is from 360cm to 760cm, which is a formal distance of interpersonal sociality communications. It mostly appears between strangers or formal occasions. Second is social distance, the specific is from 120cm to 210cm, which mostly appears in personal relationships like workplace communication and business conference. Third is personal distance, the specific range is from 44cm to 120cm, which is the distance during communicating with friends and colleagues. Finally is intimate distance, the specific range is from 0cm to 44cm, which only appears during communicating with special relationships such us parents, offspring, couples and lovers. Because personal distance and intimate distance are related to our life, so we mainly focus on these two kinds of interpersonal distances. 

Chinese body space culture is different from American. I did a research of body space between two different groups in society. I decided to narrow the variables, I focused only on people from 18 years old to 40 years old. 

In China, friends in the same gender would like to get close to each other to show their friendship. For the boys, they usually putting arms over another’s shoulder to show they are good brothers; they feel a bit uncomfortable hug with each other, especially in public. The girls usually walked hand in hand with each other or held each others arms to show their friendship. Both groups felt uncomfortable if their hair was being played with. 

However, when the people we interviewed interact with friends of the opposite gender, they prefer to have more space between on another in their daily life. Most people felt uncomfortable if they accidentally had body touch with each other. According to my interview, if they hold hands, hug with each other, put one’s arms over another’s shoulder they would be uncomfortable. However, they were less likely to be uncomfortable when holding each other when riding a bike together, or patting each others arm. They said that they felt uncomfortable with the other types of haptics because that sort of contact usually happens between couples. 

For people in the same gender, according to the experiences of my interviewees, the reason why they are likely to get close to each other is they not only want to get an enjoyment of friendship, but also because they desire to feel the warmness from their friend. For Chinese people, ‘the best friend’ is also considered to be ‘the most intimate friend’. In general, people choose their most intimate friend to be the same gender as them because friends within the same gender can usually have more commonalities with one another and they can get on well with each other (Smalling. 2004). They believe that they can become close, show they are heart to heart friends forever and never betray each other. However, this contradicts traditional Chinese culture which pays more attention to the golden mean, which means “people shouldn’t do something too much because it may have the negative effect.”(Confucius. AD500s). Therefore, Chinese people also pay more attention to the behavior when people get close to each other in the same gender. From the point of views of boys, they often put their arms over each other to show their friendship, but they seldom hug each other because they think believe that action is gay. For girls, they often hand in hand with each other to show how friendly they are, but they feel uncomfortable if their hair is played because they think it is an impolite behavior. So, although most of time the space between same genders is close, Chinese people are also careful to man to the distance to another person, especially with friends of the opposite gender. 

However, the American view of proxemics and haptics differs greatly.  American people are “individualists”, therefore they are very conscious of how closely people stand next to them, and most of them think standing close is uncomfortable (Martin & Nakayama, p 55). Also, they are very direct, so Americans will often get "right up in your face" to tell others who is too close. It is natural that they feel uncomfortable when the space is too small. Because Americans are territorial people, all of them have a "personal space,“ they think an area around their bodies is their own. When someone invades that space without their consent, they will become uncomfortable, and hostile.  

     Americans sometimes adopt strategies to keep others at a comfortable distance. They sit behind desks or stand behind an obstacle, such as a chair or coffee table, to establish a barrier. Sometimes when they come across a stranger they will cross the street to give each other more space. In North America and Northern Europe, businesspeople usually stand close enough to shake hands, about 2 1/2 to three feet apart. In parts of Southern Europe and most of Latin America, the distance tends to be closer. In the Middle East, it is closer yet, sometimes less than one foot. (The Problems of Proxemics) Of course, the appropriate distance between people varies with the situation. In a loud environment, people need to stand closer just to be heard. People also adapt to crowded situations, the subway in New York city for instance, is very crowded and everyone expects it to be.

I just wanna say, your analysis impresses me! The bodyspace is an interesting topic, and I agree that different culture has a different sense of bodyspace. I found that Americans and some other white people tend to be more alert if other people approach them, no matter on purpose or accidentally. Black people seem to be comfortable when people approach with friendly intention. For me, as an Asian, I get used to the short distance with people. Because when I take the subway in China, and when I walk in the main street in the big cities, people have no choice but standing or walking very close to you. Sometimes it is very awkward to stand right in front of someone. Interestingly, same thing happen here in New York. So I guess people with any nation, race or age in New York can accept a personal, or even intimate bodyspace.

Fashion Bloggers and Their Popularity

Fashion bloggers are changing the rule books of product’s marketing, posting stylish pictures in social media everyday and interacting with their followers, who follow them and make comments on their blogs.Blogger’s influence on followers leads to consuming behavior change. This phenomenon has also been noticed by brands’ producers. Now fashion blogs have been used as a tool of advertising products. Even in New York Fashion Show, some popular bloggers were invented to. To explore how fashion bloggers influence consumer’s behaviors, research is needed to explore those bloggers’ features,culture and current situation. What is more, in the research you also could find some useful instructions about how to improve blogs and enhance their functions in marketing.

Fashion bloggers  

We, over several years, have created a loyal audience, generated credibility among our readers that makes them want to look like us, dress like us, go where we travel, drink what we drink, eat what we eat, bake what we bake, etc.

                                            – A blogger(Pihl Christofer)

Recently, a new job has come about, called,“fashion blogger”, which means some people, who have good taste in makeup and clothes, post their stylish pictures on social media and become popular online. Accepting and appreciating their fashion sense, many followers purchase cosmetics, clothes, or accessories shown in the pictures. Many brands promote their products by sponsoring those bloggers, providing free clothes, goods. Now fashion blogs have become an important commercial platform.

Why are these fashion bloggers so popular

Many brands have noticed the fashion bloggers’ function, and aimed at them as a new commercial method. Why are those bloggers so welcomed to the fashion world and attract so many fans ?

First, those bloggers have good senses of fashion. They can easily grasp and represent new trends. In those 20 blogs have been selected, almost everyone has at least one new product in latest 10 pictures, which means they follow the fashion brands closely. They match all kinds of clothes, shoes, accessories, and by showing picture, provide match suggestions for followers.  

Second, unlike models on runways, fashion bloggers always have ordinary figures: they are neither two high nor too thin. So followers can find more practical dressing suggestions by following those bloggers who share the same figure as them. This similarity encourages followers to choose the same style of clothes.

Third, even though some bloggers are choosing some luxurious goods and dresses, many of them try to mix both expensive and cheap goods so that followers can afford. And in those blogs, mass-produce product – Zara, H&M, Topshop, are most popular.

Besides good taste in fashion, bloggers are also good at taking, or editing pictures. They always use filters to make the pictures have special feelings and let followers enjoy them.

Forth, with development of social media and communication facilities, people can easily get access to social media and follow up-to-date pictures. They do not have to buy expensive and heavy fashion magazines to obtain fashion information. When they are waiting for buses, subways, or just taking breaks during work or school, they can use their phones to check the new information and pictures. Compared to going shopping at some stores, going through those bloggers’ pictures is more convenient and efficient.

Those bloggers share the same features: they have no apparent preferences about brands, which leads to followers’ trust without questioning that they are sponsored by some special brands. They combine all of new trend elements, no matter whether expensive or cheap. From the pictures, we can easily find some cheap brands such as Zara and H&M, we also could find some light luxury goods, such as Chanel. Style is the only factor for them to choose, not price.

Having receiving their trust, what bloggers should do is to deliver those brands names. On Ins, bloggers can easily tag those brand beside the clothes, goods, and accessories. On Twitter and Facebook, there are always some followers that can “recognize ” those brands and reply. By doing so, those clothes, or goods, can easily be found.

Last but not least, sometimes fashion bloggers represent not only fashion trends but also a positive lifestyles. Some are writers and some are athletes. Engaging in fashion is their hobby. They wear make up everyday, make decisions about how to match all elements of clothes to make them look stylish, they try to make their lives colorful, and they find the prettiest angle of life to take pictures. Their attitudes toward life encourage more people to live positively, find love and beauty in daily life.

Brands’ strategy

In China, some popular fashion bloggers have a special name–website celebrities. The original website celebrity is “Spicy girl”, who posts her beautiful pictures on Blogbus, and influenced many fans. What she wears and uses becomes popular later in China. Most young girls search her blog everyday for new advice about dressing and purchasing. Then some Chinese native brands came to her, pay her money to try their brands’ goods, and the result is satisfying. No matter what kind of goods, if labeled with“the same goods as Spicy girl, they will be sold out in a short time.

Fashion bloggers have received their follower’s trust, that is why brands aim at them. Besides, providing free product for them or paying for their showing products online are much cheaper than those celebrities. Brands regard use of bloggers as part of their marketing strategy.

Rooting awareness of product into consumer’s mind has been on those brands’ to-do list. The concept of “product awareness” is highly valued by brands. “When consumers have to select a brand to meet their needs, they logically will choose from among those brands that come to mind by visiting the web sites of the brands they recall or putting the brand name in the search engine. Product awareness on the internet also may affect purchase intention.”(Chen-Hsun Ho, Kuang-Hui Chiu, Hsin Chen Anastasia.)

[jasmindai-blog]

I agree that fashion blogger has become an opinion influencer group in the fashion industry. Especially in the information era of social media, it is normal for people to search information, consult someone they trust before making a purchase decision. I myself always read cosmetic blogs before buying a new skincare product.

But I found a problem that sometimes I doubt those bloggers. Do they really use the products themselves? Are all that comments and reviews their thoughts? They are the reason I trust their reviews, not the review itself. I know that some bloggers write for the companies who pay them to include their products. If that’s the case, there will be no difference between reading a fanshion blog and watching celebrity’s advertisement.

And because it is hard to find a trustworthy blogger, I tend to be more loyal to a blogger once I find she’s trustworthy.

My Story With K701

If I have an easeful afternoon; if I have a cup of Ceylon; if I have a comfortable couch, I will take out the K701, plugging it into an amplifier, and mingle my flesh with the soft cotton, releasing myself into the music world.

K701 is my old friend. It may cry; it may laugh; it may declaim; it may whisper. Just like its appearance, the lily white, K701 is a blooming girl in a lace dress. Unadorned, invigorating but elegant, its sound accords with its look. This is why people associate K701 heavily with outstanding female vocal playback.

But they are wrong. Smooth as K701 sounds, it can only picture the younger female vocals. For the older ones, K701’s answer is like a bottle of Napoleon Whisky contaminated by a tad of Sprite, too sweet for the audience to sip the thickness of the mature female voice. So why do I still love it? Because classic music.

Born in Austria, K701 inherits the classic gene from that country. Not as Germany, the homeland of splendid symphony, Austria prefers to deal with music more leisurely, like concerto, sonata and quartet.  If Germany music were the roaring torrent, the Austria would be a crispy stream, at ease while lively. K701 is the perfect instrument Austrian created to illustrate their understanding of music. It has a wide sound field, which can be described as a rectangle-shaped music hall. The excellent separation qualifies K701 to discern every musical instrument’s position. The detail information is abundant enough to feed the audience’s ear. For me, what pushed me into love with K701 is the performance of violin and piano.

Violin, oh violin; you complete K701. K701’s smooth treble and round midrange embraces violin’s tone seamlessly. Violin to K701 is just like expresso to Macarons, Lafite wine to snowflake beef. From the performance, the fragrance of rosin on the string passes through the melodies then flirts with your neuron. Details suffuse. Even the slight air vibration in the violin’s body can be caught by K701. A live solo is in front of you. You can sense the performer’s move, pace and feeling.

Piano is fickle. It can express different emotions with different rhythm and tone. K701 handles that well. When it comes to a relaxing or hilarious chapter, K701 makes the melodies dance on the string. When it comes to a serious or sad one, K701 curbs the pace. When it comes to a lyric one, K701 provides an unlimited sky for the song to soar.

K701 may be no longer the Headphone Big Trio, but it is still the pair you deserve to keep, for its music gene and unique sound signature.

Why does Jay Chou become a legendary singer in China

He is not just a singer.

His name represents the entire puberty of many Chinese.

Many people say: After Jay Chou, there is no Jay Chou any more.

He is legend.

When I was 15 years old, like a tornado, Jay Chou and his music went everywhere.

At that time, you could not tell anyone that you have never heard about this cool man.

What?! You do not know him?

Such an outdated person you are!

In the past decade, no one could surpass him.

Why does he become a legendary singer in China?

His songs are so fantastic and popular. Absolutely, to become a well-known star, one must have at least one or more songs that attract public’s attention. But for Jay Chou– maybe I am too exaggerating—almost all of his music are terrific and many people put them on a loop.

He is the composer of his songs, even many popular songs sung by other singers. People admire talented people. Attractive appearance will be fade years after years. But talent will not. Almost all of Jay Chou’s amazing music are composed by himself.  This really increases his charm. He speaks little but sings more.

Maybe his appearance does not look so pretty, but his special, cool temperament makes him attractive. It looks that he rarely smiles in Public, like Victory Beckham. Maybe it is easy to make friends with a smile look. But cool contributes to a super star. “I hate people to ask me the question that why don’t you smile,” said Victory Beckham. “I smile only inside. I feel that I still have the responsibility to the fashion community”. Maybe her answer is also applicable for Jay.

But being cool dose not mean being impolite. No matter on TV or not, he always behaves like a gentleman. He never shows his angry or argues with someone. He insists his idea but not makes others think he is an aggressive person. He shows his respect to everyone even if some people who act impolitely to him. He has high EQ scores.

Cultural resonance. The lyric of his songs always represent charm of Chinese language. He never sings English songs. He always says that Chinese is the most beautiful language in the word. His partner, Wenshan Fang, writes lyric for him. Many times those lyrics sound like a traditional Chinese poem. But Jay Chou’s song is not like those outdated style. Targeting Chinese 10-30-year-old people, he mixes R&B or rap style with traditional Chinese culture elements, which create a new style of music.

A positive public image. He talks to his fans many times: listen to your mother’s words. He also the one that shows his love for his mother in public. He even has an album named after his mother. He rarely has scandal. He had two girlfriends before he gets married with his wife , and every relationship he involved in is so romantic. He never gets involved in negative things. Once a media has reported some negative things. He asked them to apologize in public. As those media fail to provide enough proof. He successfully keeps his positive image. He always tells to others, “I am not the lucky one. I create my luck myself!”

Recently, he is the tutor in The Voice of China. He shows his gentle, his cool, his high-EQ to the public again. He is the focus of this TV show, more shiny than those candidates. He is the king.

After Jay Chou, there is no Jay Chou any more.

A Little Bite of Social Media

Long long time ago, at a day that cannot be tracked back, one of our human ancestors lipped out a sound recognizable for his buddies, so there started the social media. Okay, you may say that goes too far. Let’s drop the time pin at 1969, when CompuServe first connected to the web by dial-up, and here began the modern social media.

From voice to broadcast, letters to email, newspaper to television, the development of social media always keeps its pace tight with the evolution of communication technology. At first glance, the fickle essence of communication technology sometimes blurs our eyes to explore the regular pattern of the development of social media. However, looking back to those evolutions of social media, you will find following seven trends, which could tell you modern social media still proceed on their own way.

No.1 Breaking down of the tech threshold

In the late 70s, the newly invented BBS, or call it Bulletin Board System, only can be reached by stroking the keyboard to put in hunks of complex code. A rookie of programming? Don’t even think about it. While its successor, Forums, treated non-technical visitors better by design a user-friendly interface to log in. Today, forget about annoying coding, a phone number or an email address is enough for you to enjoy yourself within social media. Cool, isn’t it?

No.2 Increasing user interactivities

At first, BBS poorly allow only one people to gain access at one time. If you were not lucky to get online at an occupied time, just wait. Suck as BBS did, it still unprecedentedly enable one user to interact with another online. Forum amended its precursor’s flaws. It, for the first time, added the friend system, which made the user interactivity rate gush. The come of IM software, short for instant message, has also greatly stimulated the user interactivity rate. And it has become an important criterion to evaluate the success of social media nowadays.

There is one more interesting thing about user interactivities is that it has grown into two basic types, the interested based and relationship based. The previous one has evolved into social media like Usernets, Geocities and Twitter, gathering people who share the common interest. The latter one, relationships based, has hatched the first social network website, Six degrees, later on, Facebook. Those two are still the main trend where modern social media develop.

No.3 Issuing an identity to user

The early social media seldom issued identities, which are the incentives appealing users to get themselves involved. But Dating sites, like Match.com founded in 1995, changed this situation. Their follower, Six Degrees, expanded the user identification to the daily friendship building to improve the user involvement. From then on, the social network websites, My space, Facebook and Linkedin for example, put top priority to user identification to increase the number of active users. That is why those websites keep asking you to complete and renew your personal profile. The more complete you profile is, the more you will get involved in.

No.4 Keeping things updated

Sensitive and swift, the successful social media today must keep their content updated like traditional media every time. Live Journal, started in 1997, came up with the idea that social media, in order to thrive, need to update their content constantly. Recognizing the importance of timeliness, Twitter, Reddit and other similar socials has become the new source of news, which significantly challenges traditional news outlets.

No.5 Fragmentizing  and visualizing

Believe me or not, most people prefer short messages to long passages, pictures to letters. As we are all in the age of information explosion, people are facing tons of information far beyond their abilities to process. Under this circumstance, social media must condense their contents as much as possible to cater for interests of being efficient. So comes the downfall of traditional blog but the rise of Twitter, or call it micro-blog constraining its messages into 140 characters. Moreover, a picture can always convey more information than letters. At this point, the going viral of Instagram has proved that picture has power no less than letters. In fact, those popular social media now all combined pictures with some short words, perhaps their users tell them they like this way.

No.6 Integrating with other service

This trend may start at the WOW, World of Warcraft, an MMORPG( massively multiplayer online role-playing game ). WOW has attracted tremendous amounts of players who established many related forums and communities sites. All of those derivative social media were all integrated by their WOW account. Such success enlightened both social media and service providers. For instance, many electronic game companies allow their players to register with social media account like Facebook, Twitter or something like this. And social media themselves mingled together to share the common users. This kind of integration means that social media began to throw their users into a furnace to engender a more powerful and more connected user group, you can call it big user. If you have developed an app or a new social network website but worry about its users, please resort to Facebook or Twitter.

No.7 Staying with the Internet

It is the development of the Internet that has shaped social media today. It is true, don’t doubt it, because modern social media cannot function any more without the Internet. Transiting itself from desktop to mobile, the Internet forced social media to work on your phone. Sure, none wants to swim against the tide.

Well, the development of social media sounds predictable now. So can you answer the question– who is the next?
