What came across to you, when you first open your computer? Log in your Facebook account or your msn and etc?? Yeah, i bet everyone giving me the same answer, even you didn't notice that you actually repeating the same things everyday.
Social media has it's own power to affect people life, they can take over your life, or even control you. Can you dont sign in to your facebook for a week or a month?? You will said "No!!!" Somethings that you rely on it to get the latest info, you will not said no with it, without it your life will be hard. Same things goes to myspace, twitter, youtube and etc. It's already like a part of our must have items in our daily life.
People connecting with each other using all these social networking site, sharing the different info between each othert. But there's a part of people over use these social networking site, they can abandon their works and family. Even it is very useful sometimes, but it doesn't mean that it will always bring benefit to everyone, there will be a lot of negative impact too.
Thus, social media brings a lot of impact to the society. but i believe it is depends on how the user use it. =)
I don't think that I can 'not sign in to facebook for a month'! haha! I dont't think most of us can. As you mentioned, social media can bring negative impact towards society. I think these negative impact is most likely caused by addiction towards these social media sites and sometimes these sites can be quite dangerous as well when we leak out too much information about ourselves. However, I agree with your notion that whether social media brings positive or neative impacts depends on the users themselves and how they use it.
ReplyDeleteVicky, what you mentioned is very true. I can't leave my Twitter and Facebook for a minute. I'm too tempted to check it all the time. I also agree that we'll tend to procrastinate our work more if we're too hooked with the social media sites.
ReplyDeleteI would say that not logging into facebook account is the same as not watching any videos from Youtube. Nowadays people are too rely on these social media site because they can get the latest info very fast and it is FREE OF CHARGE! But the info in the websites are not completely filtered and trust-able. Thus, the users have to judge the true and false of certain info based on their wisdom and experience. If they can take a balance on using the social media , they may be benefited.
