Social media — can anybody hear me?
Everybody has a podium. It makes them feel important. Probably the most feared thing to the American human being is the fear of public speaking. We get terrible cases of butterflies and most of the time we will simply find a way to avoid standing in front of people and giving a talk.
It’s odd that at the same time, many people feel as though their voices simply are not being heard. They want to be recognized. They want to be listened to.
They want to speak to all of us without the public speaking part that makes anyone nervous.
Now we avoid that problem with social media. We have Twitter and Facebook and Linkedin and 100 other platforms where we can vent our frustrations, post our feelings, and tell our opinions. The popularity of these platforms has grown tremendously.
Depending on our interest we may have followers that number up into the hundreds or possibly even thousands. Social media operates on a series of algorithms that, oddly enough, filter the number of people we can hear from or speak to.
I know it makes us feel great if we speak to what we perceive to be 1000 people, even though in actuality, we are probably speaking to a fraction of that. It feels as though at least somebody is hearing us.
