Social media, we can get a lot from it, starting from those necessary and important information to those unnecessary and totally irrelevant news updates. Just name it! Social media has it! Now, let's get our facts straight: Social media is now the new media. It is very effective, powerful and the fastest way to communicate. It is the generation's new platform to convey a message to the world. I mean look how amazing social media works--in just a split of seconds when you hit that button that says "post" everyone is already informed of your status (like what you are doing and where you are going) and you can get feedback or reactions instantly and not only that you can get reactions from people across the globe!!!(for example when you post something on Instagram). Amazing right? Bravo! We are all connected like never before!! Moreover, not only that it has a significant impact on how we communicate today but also it made a great change in the world of business like making opportunities more accessible and available. A great way to get our businesses promoted even without much money involved and also an easier way to reach potential clients! The business just got better! Hooray! Thanks to social media indeed. However, on a more serious note though, did you know that there were studies that revealed that social media greatly affect how we perceive ourselves like it is becoming the measurement of our confidence and our self-esteem. Yes, up to that extent social media has greatly changed us. Moreover, True enough to say as well that in as much as we can get lots of positive things in our social media, we can also get lots of negative things from it (almost trashy) that affect us whether we are conscious about it or not.Now what is my point of writing this? Well, I was thinking that this could be a great reminder for you and me whose using social media very often--thinking, are we adding up to make it positive or negative venue of communication? Are we at least a reliable source in our social media? Are we using it to promote humanity and peace in our society? As mentioned, social media is the new media now and thus this entails being responsible. Because you and I are wide users of social media, we are accountable to every post we are posting (whether in facebook, instagram, tweeter, tumblr, and other blog sites). Don't get me wrong freedom of expression is well understood here and it is not really the issue but how Responsible Media users we are. Of course, we can always freely express ourselves but to be responsible every time makes a difference . Let us challenge ourselves and let's be a good source of information and energy in social media where everyone is within reach/.
