Social With Social Media

It is very difficult to avoid the accusation that "I" is a subject that grows and develops in the millennial era. Where the development of technology and science has greatly developed. All aspects of life can not be separated from what is called technology, ranging from simple things to very complex problems with greater scope of space. Both personally and socially. Do not look at it in rural or urban areas. All can not be separated from what is called the development of science and technology.

Really we are a lucky generation. The more advanced technology and science have an impact on life today, everything that smells of technology feels familiar. We who were born in the 21st century are the ones who feel the impact. Almost all aspects of life are fast and simple, be it in the social, educational and other fields. Everything has been made easier with the development of science and technology.

For those born in the 21st century, we live in the shadows of rapid information progress. I was so fast that I was not aware that development and progress was taking place. It is inseparable from the impact of the rapid technology that seems to be a lifestyle in us. Especially in terms of communication and information with each other interconnected.

Indonesia is still swimming in the swift advances in technology. Everything that is modern starts to be applied in this country. The society which is increasingly heading towards more advanced, increasingly adapted and seemed to want to compete with the rapid development of information in this country.

The entry of the internet into Indonesia is one way of developing science and technology in this country. How not, with the entry of the internet into Indonesia has a huge impact on the lives of people in this country. The rapid rate of development in the field

information and communication make it seem as if we are going out of bounds, information at home and abroad is so easy to access and obtain. Similarly, in the field of communication, anytime, anywhere, and with anyone we can easily communicate without blaming what distance is.

Based on statistical data of Indonesian internet users in 2016 APJII (Association of Indonesian Internet Service Providers) states that internet users in Indonesia in 2016 were 132.7 million users or around 51.5% of Indonesia's total population of 256.2 million. It's really astonishing that half of Indonesia's population already knows what the internet is. Based on its activities, including online shop, social media and other surfing activities. Judging from the devices used are mobile devices (smartphones) around 47.6% or around 63.1 million of the total. This shows the amount of internet access through mobile devices is not small.



Smartphones give a new color to human life. Since the era of smartphones is present in Indonesia, the community almost tends to "crazy" gadget. Many people feel at home for a long time chatting with the smart phone. Almost everywhere we see people playing cool gadgets. Whether it's in schools, offices, public places, and not a few in places of worship, people are still happy to play it, and even worse, even when members of the board when there is a trial playing with his favorite smartphone.

No wonder so many people like to linger with their gadgets. There are many things we can do with the smartphones that we have. From the basic functions of the smartphone itself to the plus functions offered by various brands with their respective advantages. From those that are educational to those that are entertainment, from selling to finding sellers, from general to cultural, from political to religious, from social to personal.

What are people doing when they're cool with their gadgets? People can do many things with the gadget. From start surfing and browsing on the internet. From sending text messages to making voice calls, chatting fun on social media or just a light discussion in forums on the internet. Feel the fun of playing games that feel real, especially games on Android is now the season for virtual reality (VR) genre games that combine GPS features that are embedded in the cellphone's features. And the most interesting thing right now is the activity of capturing good moments, taking selfies or just recording moments. The activity is then shared on social media, the phenomenon is like a virus that grows almost all users of social media.

Social media is the activity most often done on mobile devices to date. The presence of the glory era of mobile devices made almost everyone from internet accesses have one of the popular social media accounts among the smart phone users. Makes it not feel right if the smartphone is not carried out "social activities" on social media. To just see if there is an incoming notification or just to update the status, or even to share moments and write comments in the timeline of fellow social media users.

It seems that no one does not know among smartphone users what social media is. Social media as the name suggests is a media in social terms. Social media is something that can be done with gadgets and internet connections. Various activities we can do, from starting to update the status, or just chat with its users.

Really social media social. Things like that sometimes cross the mind, if you see the phenomenon at this time. Where people around like "enslaved" with something small in the hand. Neither is he subject to the law nor is he obedient to the rules, he is obedient to his head on a glowing screen.

the fact that these people are socially happy with the gadget. It is not wrong to look at a general definition of social relations, we see those who forget what is happening around, and are instead comfortable with a virtual world that is only as tangible as their grasp. More precisely is to bring the far and keep the close. There is nothing wrong in both, depending on how to react.

Why is social media often referred to as "anti social". Because the behavior of its users who often make them forget the circumstances so that also affects the social relations around them. This is why social media which is supposed to be a social means actually makes the people in it anti-social. We should know how much portion of us use social media and not forget the social conditions that take place around us.



Make social media a social road, not a social container. We can make social media the road as a means to the real "social". And it really does not mean to advocate not to use social media, but rather to change the way and rules for using social. Not until commenting or just boasting in the comments column of an event that occurs, but at least can take lessons and lessons that we can apply in our daily lives.

With social media we are more in the world. All kinds of topics and materials it seems there is nothing that is not discussed in cyberspace. Whether it is packaged in the form of news, issues, articles, or essays, and even the hoaxes. Whether it is in the fields of religion, education, politics, social, culture, economy, technology, automotive to the famous and the fame also exists. It's clear that if indeed with social media we look more at images and hear the sounds of the world today.

Social with social media is something that needs to be done. With so many cases raised by netizens and social media users, this makes us more aware of the circumstances, more openly with what is happening, more sensitive to the conditions and conditions of this country. At least our portion in cyberspace is followed by our portion in the real world. Not only being a "peanut" but arriving at caring in the real world, not just being "talkative" but arriving at solutions in real life. Until the end is that not only up to social media but must arrive at our attitudes and behavior in daily life, at least make it as a learning and reference for ourselves. And make ourselves social with social media.
