Hello everyone, meet me again @rahmatandesti I hope you are all in good health and smooth in your activities.
On this occasion, I would like to return to enliven the excellent contest held by our beloved community Hive Learners, of course it is not foreign to all of you. A very interesting contest is now entering its 2nd edition in Week 16. In this issue we discuss about Social Media and our Relationships between people.
Surely we all know what social media is. Because every day we use it, it's impossible not to. Because human relations are now very dependent on social media. Maybe in the past when we wanted to meet someone we would come to their house or call them, this method is now rarely used, we tend to use social media to contact our friends, one of the most popular applications we use is WhatsApp. Almost everyone will use it. Because one of the social media that is very practical and makes it easier for us to contact someone. This is one example of social media really helping us in the context of connecting with other people.
Social media really helps us in connecting with other people, especially people who are far from us. We can easily communicate with family, friends, and loved ones without the limitations of distance and time. Many social media features are on offer now. One of the most popular is the Video call feature, we can see the face of the person we are talking to. It really helps us to be able to feel real conversations because we can immediately see the faces and expressions of the people we call. In the past, when we called someone, we could only hear their voice.
In my opinion, there are many advantages that we can get from social media, not only being able to relate to other people. For example, we can find out the latest news that is happening far from where we are through posts provided by other people. In the past, we could only find out news from television and print media such as newspapers. Now we get news so fast through social media. Because many people have used social media so that social media is now widely forgiven for useful things such as selling, promoting goods to being a medium of information in various ways.
However, social media also has many shortcomings, one example of which is a lot of fraud because there are people who are irresponsible by using fake accounts and spreading hoax news to influence the community. So it is very detrimental to other people. Therefore we need to be very careful in using social media, don't easily believe news without a clear source, it could just be a scam. We must be very wise in using social media.
Social media helps us to feel close to people far away but sometimes we use it too much so we will feel distant from people who are close and around us because we often use social media and rarely socialize with people around us.
When we compare the advantages and disadvantages of social media. It depends on our use, if we are wise to use it in positive things, of course, social media is very helpful for all of us, on the contrary if we tend to use it in negative things it will be something bad that can harm ourselves and others. Therefore we must be wise in using social media so that it does not make us addicted and forget our real life. And to keep our privacy awake, don't easily give important things to sites that are not guaranteed security, because there are so many frauds that start from the social media that we use due to the actions of irresponsible bad people.
That's my brief discussion about the discussion in this edition of the contest, hopefully it can represent all of our concerns and can entertain all of our readers. Thank you for visiting my post this time, I hope you all have a nice day.
Special thanks:
