social media is good, and at the same time it can be bad.
using social media to contact loved ones instantly during an attack was not possible several years ago. letting someone know that you are safe is a good thing. instant communication within the public and the military is more or less a good thing. quick response teams were able to communicate with themselves because internet and phone lines were not down, unlike during September 11.
instant communication can also apply to simple everyday tasks. playing online with friends and chatting with them is great. letting your boss know that you will be late for work because of transit problems and not suffer the consequences is amazing. this can also be a very dangerous thing. recent reports have found that terrorist groups maybe using these some of these social media outlets. a report stating that they may be using a PlayStation 4 group chat feature to communicate is a scary thought. that is an open platform and is not being monitored and only controlled by the company when there are enough complaints against a certain profile.
social media mainly being used to gather information is kind of a neutral ground. it can also be use to spread gossip and hatred. while some people actually care about current events and use it speak their mind and knowing when to attend events is awesome. there are also people that are "glad" that this happen to them and that they "deserved it" is not right. others just follow the trend and the occasionally profile picture change.
its ok to follow these trends, but i think everyone should know about major events such as these and what is being said on the global news. knowing what this or that nations military might is going to do is serious information. how we can offer help to these people and what other nations are doing to help is something that we should know about. raising positive awareness about these events through social media now is much quicker than waiting for service to be restored later or having to hear reports on the evening news.
Hi, Wilson Yuquilima
ReplyDeleteWow, I have never heard that terrorists are using ps4 group chat to communicating. Very Interesting. I agree with you that social media has its good and bad. I have seem a lot of gossip and hatred on the internet. A lot of people got misguided by these message. Sometimes, even I do. It's very hard to discover the truth behind all these lie, since lying on the internet cost basically nothing at all. Yet, the internet is just like our socially. There will always be goods and bads, it is much depend on how people use it.
Nice work!

ReplyDeleteHey Wilson, I have a Playstation 4 but i never knew that terrorist would ever use the group chat in order to communicate with each other. I also never knew that the group chat was not monitored because we all know everything we use in the Internet someone can manage to see or hear on what we doing or saying.
