Not only in transportation, technology also becomes advanced in communication, and this advancement is the cause of social media. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook are some examples of social media. Adolescents, or even some elementary students, also use one or more social media. People think that social media has many positive effects for their life. Yet, although social media gives positive effect, it also gives us negative effect.
The positive effect of social media is that it provides an easy way to connect to friends and relations. Social media allows us to stay in contact with friends and family who we are unable to see in person because we cannot meet them everyday as for example, they live far away from us. Social media also reduces communication barriers such as feeling shy to talk in face-to-face communication. If we use social media, we can share our argument without feeling shy to other people.
On the other hand, social media also has negative effect. Leading to addiction is the most dangerous effect of social media.  When we feel really comfortable to use social media, it will make us addicted. One survey in 2014 shows that 87.4% of 7,000 internet users in Indonesia like to access social media. Social media can decreases face-to-face communication among us. Sometimes, it can make us think that we have a new world. Spending most of the time using social media and forgetting that we have the ‘real’ world are very dangerous effect of social media. Because of these uncontrolled behaviors, we can forget our real family, friends, study, or even our job.
In conclusion, as the effect of the advancement of technology in communication, it is common to use social media. However, we must aware of the effect of social media. Not only gives positive effect, social media also gives us negative effect. It is okay to use social media, but we need to control ourselves. We must use it very wisely.
