Hello~ ^^ Sory for the long post.... It's okay to skip... I really can't stop typing! >,<
This post is about something that is common to almost everyone in this world, that is social media. Although it is popular among us, but do we actually know what this thing can do?? Or do we really know what is 'social media'?
Okay, personally to me, social media is a media which can be used to communicate with each others. For examples: internet forums, web blog, microblogging, wikis, podcast, social bookmarking and etc. This media can connect not just the people in our state or country, it can connect us to the people around the globe. I am impressed to what these media can do though. But, it can sometimes disrupt our daily time management... It happens to me... Sometimes :( I was somewhat hypnotized by my own laptop! Can you believe it?! Im its owner for god sake!! It was like I don't want to let go of my laptop...It is scary.. Uuuuuuuuuu~ Frankly, the social media is how we keep in touch with the people around us. We intent to keep up-to-date with them. So that's why we usually spent more time in front of the mediums (computer/laptops etc).
By the way, do you realize that people in this 'social' world usually use their false name and false personal information?? This is because they wanted to protect themselves from the online criminals, that is true. But there is also another reason why they kept doing this. It is because they wanted a second life. They usually wanted a better 'them'. Here's the example... There is this game called 'The Sims' Have you heard of it? The latest sims are 'the sims 3'.. Hehehe, promote2x. :p) It's a social game which we all have our own avatar( Not the blue avatar....) and we can control it to do whatever we want....Do like the normal people can do. Buying cloths, talking to people... What?? Where's the special you say??? Haha, well, in this game, people often do something that they can't do or afraid to do so in the real world.....
So, the social media is a playful media that can bring us close together... At the same time, it can shows who we really are.... ;) -end-

I agree with you, even myself nowadays cannot leave my laptop. And when I have to stay outside where do not have internet for me to use, it bother me all the time thinking of wanted to go on facebook. And yea, the avatar part, the statement also can be use in online games which it let us live in fantasy world. Social media really can bring peoples close together if we didn't misused it...hehe
ReplyDeleteSocial media is not only used to communicate with others but to share information and other media with others as well like picture sharing, video sharing and many more.Hahaha!! I don't think you are the only one. I am also addicted with my laptop and I also agree with you that people use fake names in the social media world to have a 'second life' or to create an 'ideal self'.Games like sims 3 really do give people the opportunity to become someone that we are not, just the same like social media does.
