Week 11 Reflection

Image
  This week has seen a lot of learning, focusing on understanding more about less developed nations and how social media impacts them. Social media users now speak English as their first language, primarily because of historical, technological, and socioeconomic considerations. Many social media services, like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have their roots in English-speaking nations.

Developing Countries

  In underdeveloped nations, social media is essential for social change, communication, and information sharing. Many people's first and only digital access devices, mobile phones, have made it possible for people to utilize social media platforms widely, especially in places without frequent access to computers. By linking users to larger marketplaces and networks, these platforms aid in bridging communication gaps, offer educational resources, and promote economic prospects. In developing nations, social media has a complex effect that includes both positive effects on connectivity, information sharing, and economic prospects and negative effects on the digital divide and false information.
