What Do Scientists Say Behind Today's Technology Sophisticate?

In this digital era, we live together with technology especially social media. People can use social media whenever and wherever they are, even when they just wake up in the morning. The usage of social media really affects human's life. Because of social media, a lot of our works disturbed. Not only affects our works but also our mental health and psychology. Is this dangerous? What can we do to fix this problem? How about our future generation with this?  

Have you ever watch The Social Dilemma (2020) movie? In that movie, you will understand how dangerous social media is. It really can affect our mind and how we think. For example, when some people spread fake news and then it goes viral, we will believe it even we don't make sure about the truth first. Because of that kind of thing, the problems become big, rebellion is anywhere, and there is a split. Social media sell our attention for the advertisement. Our attention to them is one important thing that they need. A lot of people like something sensational and ignore the truth.  

We can't always stay like this. Don't let them controlling us all the time. We have to learn how we can use social media just for something important. We can use Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for communication with old friends or with family that live far away. We can use Google and Youtube for our works, study and make research. We must take advantage of all this social media, don't let them take advantage of us. We can make short movie, an article, etc.

There is research since social media exists in 2010, the number of teenage girl's suicide soared very high until now. The reasons of their suicide mostly just because the number of their likes in social media and the 'bad' comments of their posts. We have to learn more about this thing. In The Social Dilemma (2020) movie, Justin Rosenstein, the founder of Facebook pages and like button says that at first, they made the like button to spread something positive with each other. A lot of scientists say that what they made is used different from what they expected, and some of that try to solve this problem. But the problem is from us, we all are the one who have to start to make changes.  

We should be responsible if we want to use social media. Just like what I explain above, on the third paragraph. As parents, we should make rules about usage of social media and smartphone with the kids. As students, we should use this kind of technology to help us with our schoolworks, how we use them creatively and also we have to manage time to use social media better. If we use social media just for unimportant purpose, it will waste our time so many hours. We need to see this beautiful world and feel our nice environment around without smarphone and social media. We must use social media according to its function when it was created. That all kind of technology will help our life a lot.
