According to the blog assignment, we are asked to discuss how this new "Social Media" phenomenon is affecting my life and the lives of the people around me.
Social media is something like MSN, SKYPE, FACEBOOK, SMARTPHONE and etc. And we can see that social media in 21st century is everywhere and it seems like is a MUST for everyone's daily life. I feel the power is so strong as it has affected my life can't live without internet. I have addicted as it has became part of my life. No internet equally my life has gone BORING and also feel like outdated. Especially Facebook. Even the people around me, everyday sit in front of the computer spending most of their time on it. Watch online television, listen to online broadcasting, communicate with friends, do assignments ALL WE NEED IS COMPUTER AND INTERNET ACCESS as well! And it has affected most of the people, once they back from class they will just sit in front of the computer. Besides, the first thing everyone does when they on their computer is the FACEBOOK. Even no Facebook, there might be either Twiter/ Youtube/ Tumblr/ MSN etc..
So does the same thing happen to you my dear group members? :)
I have to agree with you, that we have now become very addictive to the internet. As you said, without it, our life will feel boring and outdated. I think it's because the content on the social media websites are very interesting that we can easily stay on the web for a very long amount of time. I, myself also spend way too much time on Facebook and Twitter, and I think that has definitely change my ways of spending my time everyday.
