Are Social Media and Multimedia just really stupid names?

[Mike Clarkson]

I don't get why they just can't call it the internet. Why do they have to slap some stupid sounding label on to the process of the being on the Internet? And even if they had to label it as something, who the hell thought "multimedia" and "social media" would be a good idea? Those titles would be something I'd expect to represent a TV morning show or something. It sounds sooo lame.

Why is the mainstream media referring to the Internet as social media and multimedia? Why not just call it the internet?

No it isn't at all. I think they are perfect names.
