In the past ten years, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed.
A main feature of social media is its volatility (易变). Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the main social media trends of 2018?
Short video apps such as Tik Tok and Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that Tik Tok was ranked 8th on Apple's App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million active users in June in China, CNBC said.
The sense of community that users of short video app get is another main feature. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical. ly who has over 2 million followers, said that she was excited when anyone said that her video had "inspired" them. "It's really cool … because I think as social creators that's what we all are," she added.
Live streaming is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It's a pretty good idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live.
However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million Chinese people monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of reasons had led to the popularity of live streams. One of the most important reasons is that people don't have to know their real names.
Although We use social media all the time; that doesn't mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should pay attention to both the time we spend on it and its influence on our minds.
