A sigh of relief has been heard across the Internet as behemoth Google has finally relented in it's ever intruding necessity to have a Google+ account from every service and function from signing up for Gmail to posting comments on YouTube.
From Slate to The Verge and everywhere in between there is dancing in the streets as Google finally got the message... no, not today Google, I don't want Plus. Plus will not be going away, it will become it's own property, left to stand on it's own, and unhooked from every Google service under the sun.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

Hmmm... Then I suppose you and I have different definitions of social media. I based my definition off of this one: www.google.com/search?q=define+social+media [google.com]

Right. Not a very useful definition, at least not for how you're using it. There are many words [gnu.org] that, while commonly used and accepted, only serve to cause confusion or spread propaganda. But we can fight back.
The one that came up for me (on a different search engine) is this: "websites and other online means of communication that are used by large groups of people to share information and to develop social and professional contacts". I block Google 100%, so I don't know what came up for you. But I would say that "to share information" is too vague, but that the purpose of this website isn't really to "develop social and professional contacts". But then, that is also rather vague, and it depends on what you take 'social contact' to mean. I don't think it's a very useful definition; it's too vague and broad.
