The importance of
internet technology is huge in our lives. How internet effects our day to day
life and how it has made our lives easy? Internet is a medium which has enabled
computers to connect with each other. The internet is also known as gigantic
library, as well as a world wide message board, telephone network, and
publishing medium. It is open 24 hours a aday, and you can find anything you
want there. Internet technology has changed the way we communicate with each
other, perform business, or get entertained. The medium has perished the
boundaries or constraints that were once present in the world. Internet
technology has erased those boundaries helping individuals in various ways.
People found the perfect weapon to communicate from any location and at any
point of time.
At present, internet
has become part of life in human beings life. It would be hard to imagine the
world without internet. We would have never seen a world as it is now without
the medium. So, there is greater importance to internet to an individual.We are
dependent on the technology to make our life simpler.Internet technology has
completely changed how we communicate, respon or entertain ourselves. Its
importance in everyday life is never ending and plays a great role in
enhancement of quality of life. There has been a great increase in benefits and
reduction in time. Internet is a powerful
medium that have changed how we live and will continue to change in the
future.
The
impact of the internet on our daily life
There is a big
influence of technique on our daily life. Electronic devices, multimedia and
computers are things we have to deal with everyday. Espeacially the internet is
becoming more and more important for nearly everybody as it is one of the
newest and most forward-looking media and surely the medium of the future. It
would be necessary to think about some ggod and bad aspects of how this medium
influences us, what impact it has on our social behaviour and what the future
will look like. The internet changed our life enormously, there is no doubt
about that.
Internet
and Social Media?
The internet and social
media provide young people with a range of benefits, and opportunities to
empower themselves in a variety of ways. People can maintain social connections
and support networks that otherwise would not be possible, and can access more
information thatn ever before. The communities and social interactions people
from online can be invaluable for
developing people’s self-confidence and social skills. The use of social media
and networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instgram and Snapchat have
become an integral part of people daily lives.
How
strongly can social media influence and control people’s lives?
What comes to your mind
when you hear the term “social media?” Perhaps some people thinking about the
media that makes them able to meet and communicate with people around the
world. While some others think that social media is the channel that gives them
the chance to send and receive many information. Others think that social media
is about the way we get many updates from people who we follow and maybe
someone out there thinks social media is a part of a new marketing strategy.
Nowadays, social media
seems like a big part of our life. For example, when your friends did not reply
to your text, you can greet them on facebook. When you want to listen to music
or see a music video from your favourite singer, you can directly go to
Youtube. When you just wake up and open your eyes, you do not have to walk
outside to get the newspaper, you just simply can take the phone and scroll
your twitter timeline then you will get the information. Blog and forum also
types of social media because they allow you to share ‘what you think’ about
articles, picture, videos and so on. Everything looks and feels easier to do
with social media.
People
as social participants and active citizens.
Social networking
services can provide an accessible and powerfool toolkit for highlighting and
acting and issues and causes that affect and interest of people. Social
networking services can be used for organising activities, events, or groups to
showcase issues and opinions and make wider audience aware of them.
People
developing a voice and building trust.
Social networking
services can be use to debating and dicussion skills in local, national, and
international context. This helps users develop public ways of presenting
themselves. Personal skills are very important in this context. To make, to
develop and keep friendships, and to be regarded as a trusted connection within
a network. Social networking services can provide people with oppurtunities to
learn how to function successfully in a community, navigating a public social
space and developing social norms and skills as participants in peer groups.
The
darkside of technology and social networks
People too focus on bright side of technology but
they also need to know about the implication of growth technology. Technology
as medium for us to explore the outside that we want to know without boundries.
So we can get more information and knowledge about something we used to know. But
the people take and use it as wrong ways that admitted to cyber crimes. We have
heard many cases that related to cyber crime happened that involve any ages.
Everybody wished they not be a victim but they must to know which are good or
bad things when involving with using of technology. We cannot avoid not using
technology because the world already plants the technology as a medium to
interact, make transaction and build relationship in communities around the
world.
Personal relationship in reality vs
virtual
The technology also become a reason of lack
interaction between people surrounding. They more interest play and look at
their gadgets with ignoring people around them. They will become anti-social
because of the things at their hands. That show unethical behaviour when others
have talk to them and no reaction. We have look how passing time change of
technology affect human relationships. We can people begin the communication
using the devices and gadget. The effects from this point, now we can see the
families do not spend quality time together because everybody focus on their
own gadget. The use of internet and technology have taking power in society and
it have able to change people lifestyle . Some of people love to share their
secret with social media community such as Facebook. They hope for likers or comment of their
posting. That can be a good thing but it also can be a bad thing because some
of people may give your good opinion or advises but there have also some of
people will down you with harsh words.
The social media may can be medium for someone to
find their lover. But in my opinion it is not the suitable place to find
someone to love because people can lie about their ages, martial status,
income, physical appearance and etc. The background of the person we get acquainted
not accurate and cloudy. As the example we can related with this situation with
reality show television programme of MTV called “Catfish”. This reality show programme is about the person
get know each other through social media and person who creates fake personal profiles on social media
sites using someone else's pictures and false biographical information to
pretend to be someone other than themselves. That
TV programme give a message do not believe person through social media and it
is not right place to find a someone for sharing your problem or secret life
unless we know that person in reality. Be careful with the person on social
media, they can be your enemies or murder. The things we should aware is the
social media not a place to disclose our personal matter or things that can
contribute bad perception from others. The things will getting viral easily and
it will damage your images. So think before post something at your wall.
Cyber Ghost.
One fact of life you need to get your head
around if you have a computer is this: According to the annual Norton
Cybercrime Report (NCR), there’s a 66% chance you have already experienced
cybercrime. That figure will grow over time. It’s rational to say if you use a
computer, you will experience cybercrime at some stage in your life. (Sam
Volkering, 2013). According to Nortan Cybercrime Report (NCR), every second of
every day, 18 people fall victim to cybercrime. That’s over 566 million people
per year. The most cybercrime move silently without conscious through malware,
viruses and Trojan Horse. These parasite may be look useful but it will damage
our computer programme slowly. The virus could be laying to our smartphones or
computers to waiting online banking password, social media accounts when we
connected to public wifi. We have heard about many cases that involve cyber
crime. According to The Star online 2015, there have 30 cases of Malaysian was
reported fall for cyber crime.
