Can they handle the Responsibility?
I think that companies should let 23-year-olds run their social media. The younger generation knows the most about it so it would only be right, especially if that person has a college education and experience to accompany it. Even though older generations are starting to be more knowledgeable about social media, the truth is that they will never know as much as our generation does. Yes, some are immature but not all 23-year-olds should be blamed for it. I feel like this is a case where when somebody comes up with an idea and/or perfects it and it blows up; is when people come in and want to control it and take the credit. This semester I’ve noticed that more of my professors are into social media. I don’t think that this is mainly because they want to but because they have to in order to not get left behind. Tweeting and Facebook were not relevant to older generations but when it blew up, they jumped on the bandwagon, so why not put company social media sites in the hands of those who not only want to use it but know how to use it. Another thing is that older generations don’t have a big following unless they are a celebrity of some sort. Younger people can network on social media sites and find their target audience and actually get followed back. It’s sad but true. Companies should want people who are young and hip in order to get their names out there. Yes they may know the technicalities of it but we know the technicalities plus more. Last but not least, about the issue of being able to handle the responsibility, I think most 23-year-old college educated people can. I for didn’t spend the money on my education to flush it down the drain. We know the difference between what is right and what is wrong so should be trusted knowing that we were taught well by older generations. I know this may seem a bit controversial but I only speak on what I see and experience for myself.
