Hi.

As the internet becomes more widely used, lifestyles and life in general evolve in
response to technological advancement. Communication, information, education, and
entertainment—these are mostly the roles seen in the media, particularly social media,
in contemporary times.
 
Let’s be mutuals! What a fantastic way to connect with others in just a few clicks, right?
You now have the ability to quickly monitor the friends of your friends or stay up-to-date
on their lives by viewing their public posts and stories. But remember, you should still be
wary about them, as some of these visuals and aesthetics tend to be pretentious.
 
Plus, have you noticed how news outlets and broadcasting channels have their own
social media accounts now? These are their moves to be on the trend, too. Internet
users now have access to news, timely information, or even education in the comfort of
their own homes—only with the help of their technologies. Besides, have you seen how
COVID-19 information is all over social media, even having its own tab on Facebook?
Indeed, social media is a new information outlet.
 
Lastly, for entertainment. Social media, or the media at large, can become our happy pill
and safe space at any moment. After a long, tiring day, we tend to be calm and rest by
scrolling all over it. A great example of this is TikTok!
 
However, among all of these beneficial causes, there are some drawbacks. So, it is on
us to exercise more of self-control and be cautious of what we see on social media
platforms.
