Social Media

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.
