Social Media

Here and everywhere, social media has taken quite an impact in everyone life. This is usually to teenagers and young adults who are IT literate. Furthermore, with smartphone that can gives the access to social media, it is undeniable that these people cannot live without it!!.. Back years ago, the social media does not influence people like nowadays. Among the early social medias are such as MySpace, and Freindster. Now, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and others have gives some positive and negative impact.

Honestly, I am one of them, even though I am not type of social media freak. I not have my Facebook account and long before the Friendster. I seeing this social media as communication and interaction among the people we know across the world. But, somehow, some people sees social media gives negative impact to our lives. What is the use of internet, if we cannot communicate and interact? Internet itself defined as the world without boundaries. As long as the user does not spread malicious rumors, and viruses, I do not see any harm of using the social media. In fact, nowadays, a producer use social media as medium to promotes their products and services.

Facebook users in Malaysia is among the highest users and active in Facebooking. Based on statistic, shows that Malaysia is in ranking of number 17 with the most users, left behind Indonesia and Philippines. It makes the South East Asia is the most users of Facebook in the world. Founded by Mark Zuckerberg, together with Eduardo Saverine, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, the Facebook has reach to 845 millions users.

Based on the above number, it clearly shows that the people are too dependent on social media. Many people does not see it can harm the user life, as long as the user himself does not do anything that can harm himself. We can see social media is a place to get together, exchanging opinion and information, for the better purposes.
