Q: Social media. Now, what is social media?
A: Social media is commonly known as social interaction in a media form.
Social media has contributed a lot to our lives. It changed the way how people act and think throughout the years. Media had existed for a long time but has now became more and more popular because of it's convenience.

The most common social media nowadays and the most popular now is Facebook. The one that people frequently use but for teenagers or young adults, they never leave this Facebook. Why? The answer is simple. Teenagers and young adults love to be noticed and wants to show their existence. They do not want to be left behind. Besides that, Facebook keeps them company when they feel lonely. Certain teenagers are not that brave or bold to speak out what they want to say and are shy in front of others. Therefore, they often use social media as a form of communication. It's easier for them to speak out what they want to say when they are not facing the person. It helps them overcome their courage to speak, in a way.
Social media keeps people connected and get updates instantly but on the down side, keeps people a little less social in the real world. There might be people who are shy to speak out but it also cause people to get a little lazy to go out and socialise. The most common complain would be "why must you go out to socialise when you can just do that in front of your computer? and besides, there's no need hustle to dress up neatly and move about everywhere. It's just wasting time and money. You don't even have to waste your saliva talking. You just have to type!"
There are people who use social media as a way to make some extra pocket money like placing advertisements on their blog or help promote certain products or they can even find jobs using social media. Social media is a very simple and easy way to make promotions, advertisements or even to promote yourself! You can reach to the people in the whole world with just one click and not to mention, travels at a very high velocity.
Social media is good and bad in it's own way, depending on the users themselves. If they can mange social media and use it for the good of their own and others, no harm can be done but if it's otherwise, you might end up in prison. Ops!
In conclusion, BE WISE AND DO THE RIGHT THING.
