Which social media websites do you use?

I consider myself an Internet addict, so I use some popular platforms like Youtube,
Facebook to get in touch with my friends, family and access the latest information.

How much time do you spend on social media sites?

I don’t know exactly how many hours I browse on social media platform but a lot. I
often find material for studying and finding jobs, so I spend a lot of time here. I also
wanna connect to my friends who are far distance. That's why I use it a lot.
What kind of information about yourself have you put on social media?
Mostly some photos of my family or my friends. I wanna save some kinda
memorable things together. And social media is toxic, so I don’t like to put
something social media platform much.
Is there anything you don’t like about social media?
Social media is a good vehicle for people to interact and expand the relationship, but
I don’t like social media much. It's toxic. Many users judge others by seeing them
through screen. That's why it's lots of cyberbullying situations. Some people also post
misleading information which cause arguments. That's something I don’t really like
social media.
Do you think you or your friends use too much social media?
I have to confess that I am an Internet addict. I use too much social media platform. If
I don’t touch my devices like phones or computers, I feel empty. Social media is like
an accompany friend to help me relax and stay in touch with my friends.

3. Do you want to work in social media industry? Why?

I love social media, honestly, but I don’t wanna work in social media industry. Being
glued to the screen so much causes some health problems like digital eye strain, back
pain because of posture. I also like doing something active rather than passive. Doing
something with other people and close to nature. So, I ain't keen on working in social
media industry.

. What’s the most popular social media in Vietnam? Why?

With the development of social media, people are more and more use it for many
purposes with lots of social media platform like youtube, instagram, facebook. And
facebook is the most well-know with its functions. They can entertain by watching
short videos or chat with friends and family. That's why Facebook is the most popular
website in my own country.

5. What social media apps do you use very often?

Youtube application is my taste, to be honest. I use it every day for my specific
purposes. I often listen to some kinda music, and some polyglots talking about tips to
learn another language effectively. And I also watch something interesting to let my
hair down and also update the latest information. So, youtube is one of the
applications I use most.
