Abstract: Social media has an important role in people’s life now. It is changing people’s life and the way people interact with each other. “Web 2.0” was first mentioned in a conference in 2004 and since then it led the evolution of social media (Kaplan Heinlein 59). Nowadays the most popular definition for social media can be: “A group of Internet-based applications that built on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user generated content” (Kaplan Heinlein 59). In Emerson’s 2003 paper, social media refers to “the interactions among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas utilizing social exchange theory” (335).
Social media is becoming more and more important. It has become the main tool for people’s communication. On the other hand, this tool can also cause some bad changes on people’s life. Our research “Pros and cons of social media on people in China” helps people understand social media. For the part of pros, people can know more about the right ways to use social media and search for new areas when using social media. On the contrary, the part of cons shows people how to protect themselves and treat social media in an objective attitude.
