Can we call social media an innovative invention?

This seems to be tricky question!

But I think if we have to draw one conclusion from this question (or debate), I think, for me at least, the answer would be 'Yes'.

We can, rather should, term the emergence of social media as an innovative invention.

No doubt, the global community has been using the Internet for a long time now, however, the existence of social media has transformed the way it (the Internet) has been used.

From Facebook to Twitter, and LinkedIn to MySpace, social media has really, in true sense, has brought the global community together. The concepts like updates, fans, followers, and connections has really made this platforms happening and live!

Is'n it amazing that you can connect and update your friends, family members, loved ones, colleagues, partners, (the list goes on) in multiple platforms in less than a minute (I guess that is the time required to update your Facebook and Twitter status) and that too minimal cost. So you are not only saving your money and time, but you are also sending real time updates to your connections.

Yes, in true, sense this is an innovative invention. Through out the history, we have seen new inventions happening to bring comfort to human lives. From telephone to mobile and TV to radio, the ultimate aim was to relax human lives with new technology.

This formula applies to social media too.

Yes, social media is an innovative invention that we have ever experienced on this EARTH.
