Social Media is a radical innovation rather than an incremental innovation as there was no existing product which provided similar benefits/uses. Because of Internet, Social Media was possible and became into existence. The only close competitor of Social Media, which provided similar benefits, was the telephone and the mobile phone later on. 3. Why are they significant in your opinion and why did you select each of the five particular examples?
