Thanks to Maria for sharing her thoughts, I’ll be curious to see how these technologies adapt our use of social media, especially when it comes to augmented and virtual reality! The increasing use of the Internet of Things has resulted in so many changes in the way we live our lives and interact with our physical world. Social media helps in bringing people closer, whereas virtual reality takes a person away from the real world and immerses them in their solitary world.

You need to focus on how to “be&# social as a company, and worry less about how to “do&# social. But the reality is tha t your social success is inextricably tied to the totality of the experiences your customers have with your company. Never forget that in almost every case, people experience your company in the “real world&# first, and then decide whether (or how much) to interact with you in the virtual world.
