Reflect on your own use of social media

(Module #5)

People all over the world use their technological devices and internet connection to
conveniently communicate and transmit information. These technological devices are anywhere can be
seen and are now part of our daily life, given that they are made to be used by people. The way our
internet and technology advance and grow to make communication easier and faster. In the next future
years to come, more and more people are going to use and rely on these technologies. We all are now
dependent on these technological devices we are all using especially in this time of crisis that we are
now facing. We need these technological devices in order for us to use social media. Today, the use of
social media grows tremendously because of what our situation is right now we are asked to work from
home and with the help of the internet and technologies. We can conveniently use any social media
platform as a medium for communication, information, ideas, and education. Social media plays an
important role in our everyday lives given that we benefit and get a lot of advantages from using social
media. However, there are still downsides of using social media, and being irresponsible in using could
affect an individual or others in negative ways.

One of the things that I made good use of social media is that I conveniently connect and as well
as develop my relationship with other people in social media that I don’t personally know like every time
I post or share something and they have the same interest or idea with me that’s the time when I feel
like I am always connected with them. I usually share or post positive and meaningful messages to
spread some good vibes for the people especially my friends who are having rough and hard times. I also
feel like when I encounter people with the same experiences as mine I sometimes message the person
to share something about my experiences with them that could encourage or help, even just a little bit
with their plans or decisions in life. Whenever I have a problem, people from social media are always
there to share some advice or help and the best thing about them is that they will respond as fast as the
speed of light once they saw what I shared or posted. In terms of information, updates, and news about
what’s happening in the world and I would say sometimes I am a big help to some people that are
connected with me or in my circle of friends because I am the person who would remind or update them
through social media because I always share something that I know important information or news
about what is happening in the world.

On the other hand, one of the things that I made harm to other people and even for myself
through social media is that whenever I share or post something sensitive and against to the people
within my social media to the point where they felt offended, that’s when the time I feel making bad use
of social media. I admit that I am sometimes careless and I don’t think before clicking. Due to sharing too
many posts or information I sometimes accidentally share false stories or incorrect information that
spread across my friends or even to other people on social media that could lead to make them believe
to what posts I share. Sharing misleading information through social media is a real serious problem, so
as I responsible user we must take precaution to what we share. Other crazy staffs and videos are also
shared on any social media and I usually share them with my friends for them to watch it but I think that
it is appropriate for me to share videos that are extremely sensitive and they might even imitate and try
it in real life or to others. Due to my curiosity about something, I sometimes go to restricted pages to
know something about it even though I know to myself that I am out of my boundary and should not
visit or go to those pages. I also follow some of these known or popular people like rappers, artist, and
celebrities because I am a big fan of them but they are sharing some bad influence like drinking alcohol
and smoking cigarettes that in the long run could eventually encourage or inspire me to do the same
thing they are doing which I know to myself that they are all inappropriate for me to do.
