The hype of social network has made many young users belong to the SOCIAL MEDIA plethora and investigating the trend worth rewarding. In fact, a non-intervention survey research not only describes the changing communication trend popular among young students, but also describes the effects of people in terms of perception and activities.

Predominantly the Chicago school of sociologist defended this method vigorously. Theorists such as C.H. Cooley, George Herbert Mead, and Irving Goffman have already outlined role, performance and interaction of social actors quite elaborately in sociological terms. Grossly, the Social Construction theories support the SOCIAL MEDIA model so to analyze this in sociological terms.

Lastly, the framework has guided the literature review and methodology chapters. Therefore, to conclude with Mike DiLorenzo, NHL social media marketing director quotes that say, ―Social networks aren‘t about Web sites .They‘re about experiences .Thus, the human perception of SOCIAL MEDIA technology is richer in meaning than mere study of technology itself.
