BLOG NUMBER 1
Let’s talk first about social media,
I know that this article is a little short for this discussion but I’m just going
to have to cut it to the topic that somehow I want to emphasize. Everything
that I say are my own opinion. I happen to write about it because of what I’ve
observed in our society.
We live in a world now where having
a social media becomes the new norm. Gone are the days of hardship in order to
make friends, acquaintance, because we can have friends just by a click of a
button. I’ve read and watched people found love because of social media. You
can stalk people whom you don’t know and you can easily and instantly know the
news from all around the world. Isn’t it amazing to connect, and to know this
kind of information?
The social media is a great
entertainment, be it children, teenager or even adult. And because we are an
individual who loves connecting to other, after all “no, man is island” now
becomes a figure of speech. If you don’t have social media, It’s like you will
feel being alone.
When
social Media spreaded like wildfire, the economy rises, business boomed, many
people became famous, many talents had been seen which means that there are a
lot of advantages of Social media, it’s pretty clear. Although that there are a
lot of advantages, let’s now move on to the disadvantages. Ever hear the saying
“we have to disconnect in order to connect” somehow this saying is pretty much
everywhere. It’s because of the abuse of this power, we became procrastinator,
we love being entertained and so when we lost just for a day, we are being
pulled again by it.
Life has been truly interesting,
efficient, fun in this millennium where internet and social media prevails. I
got addicted with photography, internet and anything that the millennials do.
Yet somehow I missed the old age where everything is to be done by you with
great effort. If there is nothing to do, I felt so weak, I really need to
challenge myself.
Somehow when I wake up instead of
exercising, I readily look for my phone and check for notifications on
facebook, it’s really a bad habit because, somehow when you start opening your
facebook, you can’t get out immediately, it’s like you’re really hooked in it.
It’s bad, I hated it, but somehow I seemed to like it. My mind is really
battling out on what to do. I really do want to change, I wanted to create
something productive and useful instead of using facebook all day.
But this social media, we can have
business with it, many teenagers, youth or even children used this and make a
lot of money. By showing their talent, skills, hobby, and anything that they
like to do. The internet is really a strange place to be.
