Social Media ( aii )

Discuss how this new "Social Media" phenomenon is affecting your life and the lives of the people around you. Real-life examples would be good.

According to the about.com Social Media is a type of online media that expedites conversation as opposed to traditional media, which delivers content but doesn't allow readers/viewers/listeners to participate in the creation or development of the content.

During 21st century, there are many social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and Friendster. Even the video websites are also the social media. In my opinion, Social media is the best way to communicate to other friends. We can find something new that we don't even know before. Just a few years ago, social media has found some briliant idea to make a communication between two people with a different area. They can see each other, and it looks like they can talk nearly without any obstacle. They called as Webcam. This idea is so amazing for me. Now, i can talk and interact with my parents in Indonesia. Not only them, but also any friends which is in the overseas.

But with all the positive things that webcam had, there are a negative impacts of that program.
One of the research in the U.S, teenager can do everything that they want in the webcam. They can do bad things with someone else. For some reason, they said it was just for fun, unfortunately, it makes a new problem. In the webcam we can get a screen capture, then it becomes a picture. With that picture, someone will upload it to the adult website. In the next, they will appear in that site.
