These new media increases our freedom, and social life it make us updated to every person's personal information. But sometimes these media's are blinding us, and stoping us to face the reality. Our freedom are got locked on certain media, and doesn't show it anymore live in public. We may seem so talkative at media but in personal, we don't even say a word. Admit it, it happens, it always happens.
Modern media's providing us any information and updates that we need. But we are now ignoring and forgeting where we exactly start from. We know forget to enter the library and brows on the books, we know don't read news papers and articles. We are just now depending on what the media can provide us.
Media can give us enough information to know the exact location of a person, media can also let us know the everyday routine of a certain person and in this case, robbery man can monitor your business and they can do whatever crime they are planning to do. There are kidnappings, robbery and muders because a suspect have monitored the victim through media's aspect.
In all forms of media you can express your thoughts that can be information to others. You can share your knowledge to others in just a simple way, but sometimes being so charitable to share is not a good thing because the one who is sharing are sharing too much of information about themselves and others that causes gossips, and lead to an unpeaceful argument because the some information that has been told are edited or not true.
Most of the people are using new social media to get updated on the latest news. But then, it is more surely that the news is true you have heard and is aired in the television or in radio station because sometimes, some news in the social media has been edited and added some false detail that brings up negative effect.
These new social media gives us such information that we need and can be found in a very simple way. We can gather information in just one click, and then that's it, you already have the information that you are looking for.
This kind of technology has it's own helpful purpose, and not for your addiction. It is given that you are using it for homework, studies, and work, specially when you are a net-working but it is very unacceptable reason that you are spending your time just to play computer games, and entertaining yourself while surfing online instead of sleeping. Lack of sleep makes your body weak, and sick. Just like being addicted in drugs, addiction on surfing online without any valid reason is not giving you any good benefit in life. I'am not telling you that do not use your computer if you have no reason, but must know your time limitation
Many people now a days are using social media to get updated on what is happening. Facebook is one of the most popular social media application and millions of people are using it to catch up the latest news because some workers doesn't have enough time to watch the news at the television. Facebook and other social media accounts has been a danger because of addiction and false information that are posted online. Life threats and crime scenes are being done just because of the unknown netizens are posting false information and news for the sake of attention and popularity.
Internet binds us and keeps us in touch with other people all around the world. As a student of today’s generation, I admit that we are now more technology based. Almost all of us are now relying on the information that we only get in the internet without considering whether these information are coming from the reliable sources or not. That’s the reason why it leads to social media wars. People tend to react on some speculations, issues, rumors, etc., without knowing the real reason or the real story behind it. They only react based on what they have read and not on what they have actually seen (in real life). It only shows that, new media doesn’t only have its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages, which I will tackle in the later part of this blog.
Since I often use the internet as a part of my past time and research, I usually got information from one of the “trusted” sites like google. But most of the times, I’m not that convinced with the information I got that’s why I had to look for another info and compare either of them is correct. What I’m trying to point out is that, when using the internet or other types of new media, we have to be wise, and you also have to think twice.
Using new media has a lot of responsibility. You have the freedom to say what you want to say, you have the freedom react on something. But sometimes, people took advantage from this freedom were they’re using the new media in a wrong way. Some of the examples are:
- Posers on Facebook
- Scamming and;
- Cyber bullying
You have to be careful of your actions in the internet. It may turn into either positive or negative outcome.
“ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK“
