Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Iv personally been on a few social media sites such as Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter. They are a great way for people to interact without being together in real life. Facebook has probable been the best one so far since its really simple and it allows you to share your life with your friends.
A virtual world is an online community that takes the form of a computer-based simulated environment through which users can interact with one another and use and create objects. It is basically a separate world where you can be whatever you want. In the article "Going to the virtual office in Second Life", companies are using virtual worlds to do meetings instead of having people fly to a particular area. This is a great idea because it makes it easy and cheap.
I like the description that you gave for social media, it's very well written and organized. Facebook is the most popular which means it is used by almost everyone. The idea of Virtual Worlds is very intellectual. This is the future of technology in my opinion.
