Oneself
Imagine a world without
internet and probably you will end up thinking about the the lives on past where internet , and advanced technology doesn't exist. You're lucky because you belong to the society today where we live our life to the fullest with the help of advanced and helpful technology. Because of technology, our communication has improve greatly and efficiently, you can now connect and chat your family, friends, and relatives through social media. But how these social medias affect ourselves, our community, and the learners?
Learning is important in every
aspect of our life and students' objective is to learn varieties of knowledges and wisdom. So what are the benefits of social medias to the learning process of every student? The use of social medias is a great advantage for students in a way that they are using it on their studies. For example, you forgot the assignments that your teacher told yesterday but you know that some of your classmates copied it and now for you to make your assignment you contact your friend via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or WhatsApp and you already got a reply. Through this example you will notice how social media is advantageous to students/learners. Many learners today rely on social media and it affects their personalities and behaviors on their studies. The community where I belong also you used social media and it really affects how our community develops friendship through socialization online. They are different groups and pages found on Facebook where in we share and bond interests too each other in a specific topic. For example, a page where gamers, K-Pop lovers, dance group, singing group and also a group where people are willing to help some of the problems found on our community. It is a great advantage for the community because you will learn something from other people and you will also share what you've known. You will also meet strangers and became your friends. Social media is simply a way to connect you on your community the contribute something and to help in resolving social problems.
There are many uses of social
media and for me I think social media sites as a tool for my personal, moral, behavioral, and mental development. because of social media I gained knowledge and information plus the entertainment I loved the most. But I noticed that reading or watching what is inside this social medias has greatly effects my moral behaviors, I learned to say bad words, I easily judge other people, and the worst thing I did is I use social media to destroy someone. There are uses of social media and I admit that sometimes I use it in a wrong way but I realized that all we do in social media is a part whether bad or good. Because the experience I did,I found my limit and realized the real purpose of this inventions.
We are lucky today because we are leaving in a society where communication
is efficient through social medias. It effects our learning process, how we adopted our community and of course ourselves.
