The digital era has a huge influence over our everyday life. Over the past few decades, the changes in technology not only made the world more accessible but it has changed the way we gather our news and communicate with one another. As the University of Canada states, “Social Media has taken over the business sphere, the advertising sphere and additionally, the education sector” so apps like Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and so forth, present all of the sectors provided above but in different ways. Snapchat presents stories to their users with titles that have catchy names by amplifying the words to make the title sound smooth and interesting. Instagram communicates through hashtags so they present you a feed that best interests your taste whilst Tik Tok just shows their audience what videos are going viral. All of these apps have various ways of presenting news to their audience but they all possess the same quality, a community. With a community, users are able to use the app as a medium and communicate whether that be sharing a video, a post, or an article, information is shared from all over the world in just seconds.
