There are many social media that many could use nowadays while surfing the net and this is how these social media phenomenon is affecting my life and others as well. Ever since i have started to learn and use the computer when i was young, i have also learn how to surf the net and so. The first ever social network that i have got to know when i started surfing the net would be Myspace and Friendster. If one would ask how this social networks or social media's has been affecting my life or probably others as well? I would say these social media's, it allows many many people to stay connected and update about their daily lives or so even though we are miles and miles apart from each other. Well, its actually a little difficult to say what others would say about this but i believe there are or will be positive and negative opinions.
Furthermore, there are some good things and bad things of using social media and so on. The one of the many good things about social media is, like I've mention above, we get to stay connected even though we are miles and miles apart from each other. For example, i have a couple of friends who have migrated overseas and they don't come back to Malaysia that often as you know, plane tickets, accommodation and so on uses a lot of money and it would be real expensive so the only way for us to keep in touch, talk to each other is social media. We stay connected through to the most famous social network which is Facebook and twitter. In addition, thanks to social media, we get to know a lot of things on the internet. We get to gain knowledge or find information that we need from Google or Wikipedia as they have almost everything and anything you need to know. Besides that, I've found this website which gives positive feedback's and opinions on social media. (http://mashable.com/2009/10/16/social-media-changing-lives/) This website that I have found tells us 5 ways social media is changing our life.
However, there are also a few bad things or bad feedback's about social media. In my opinion, the bad thing about social media is that many of us tend to log in DAILY to update our status and so on. Well, watch this video to know more on the bad things on social media and those negative feedbacks. Do enjoy!
In my opinion, social media serves it's correct objectives when one uses it to connect with people who are faraway from them; in foreign countries for example. Obviously any physical real contact is a no-go, thus social media brings up as the best medium for communications to be done between recipients situated far away from each other.
ReplyDeleteThe usage of social media sites for the sole objective of attaining information and knowledge certainly proves to be the most practical of all, one that most people fail to take granted for.

About to downfall of social media, as i mentioned in another post, what if, when you log it, you find some breaking news or youve won something or anything? Would that be still consider bad? Also, what if you log on everyday just to see that special someone and told to him or her on Skype or something.

I agree with yours and Inara's point. Social media is the most effective, cheapest and fastest way of getting to interact with people who lives far from where we live.

ReplyDeleteYeah inara and nurain sofia, it really is a good way to communicate with those who are overseas. Its free, easiest and also the fastest way of getting to interact with them.
As for amiza, in my opinion, i think its really not necessary to go on everyday. But if its like to talk to someone special when one couldn't meet or so then i think its fine if one would want to log on everyday. As i said above comment replying inara and nurain sofia's comment, it is a good way to communicate with others, easiest and fastest way. :)
