“The Impact of Social Media”

Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi

Ang Babaeing Allergic sa Wifi is a filipino netflix movie that talks about EHS
syndrome (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity), a disease that is caused by an exposure
to wifi signals. Norma is a typical teenage girl that can’t live with out technology, but
then because of her rare disease she is forced to go offline and start a new life at her
grandmothers province that is way to far for even phone signals could reach.
This scene or particular movie shows us that there are a lot of things that we took
only for granted while stuck facing on our mobile phones. There was this scene that she
was worried about going back to school because of the lack of internet. And this only
reminds us on how dependent we are on social media in keeping relationships. On
some points, this is somehow helpful especially in todays time because our family
members where forced or choses to be out of the country or go somewhere else far
away from their homes just to find a good job with a good salary to sustain their daily
needs. Social media has become the number one medium or channel used to contact
or connect with their special someone’s around the globe.
However, there are things that were taken for granted, putting it in risk and giving
out too much about one’s self in exchanged for social media like negligence of family
time, your health, posting factual information and also making most of the travels posted
online.
Family time is very important as it strengthens the bonds of each members in the
family. Spending your time talking and bonding with your family is way more better than
spending it with your phone. The information you got directly with their mouth is
reassuring, the time you’ve got to spend with them is beyond more blissful and sacred ,
the challenges or misunderstanding where easier to be solved if its been settled offline
rather than ranting it online.
While your health, is put on a high a risk as you are facing your mobile phone
and thus you are exposed to radiation and such other health problem like eye problem
or what other more. More over, while facing your phone every time and posting and
sharing something about yourself with your every day life affair is beyond more
dangerous if you are not mindful to what you share online. And thus, making or
spreading fake news with out even confirming it. In addition, it is also bad for your
mental health, facing every time with the negative critiques and being judged especially
if you have a weak mind and soft heart. Therefore, social media has both positive and
negative effect in every person’s life.
