In the
article "Social Media - A Good Thing or a Bad Thing?," Ali, cites
that any new technology has positive and negative sides, and it is really
depend on your using to this technology, he also notes about the general
impacts of social media; for instance, how business companies use some of the
social medias as a way to promote their product; in the same time, it effect
badly to the companies when their employees distract with these forgoing sites
and he also remarks that these sites in hand lead to addiction.
In addition, he mentions some of the
advantages of social media on relationships: how social media make it easier
and possible for people to communicate with their friends who were out of touch,
such as high school friends, friends you met them in vacation, and even with
friends across the worlds, and also how can we use these social media to
express our feeling, hobbies, or even trips with others.
Moreover,
he explains the other side of social media which lead many of people to be more
isolated and less communicating with others.
From my
view in point, I believe that this article is interested to me, since, it is
related to my major Computer Science, in addition, it is really important to
see the forgoing impacts of the technology that dominate it our life, because
now people can't live without technology; it became one of our fundamentals. For
me and most of the international students, it became a need so we can
communicate with our friends and families in the other side of the world, I
agree with the author when he said that it makes us more isolated and less
communicated in the real world; due to the fact that, any gathering even if it
was a party, wedding, or funeral you see most of the people busy with their cell
phones rather than spending time talking face to face, so we become more
comfortable talking behind the screens, however, any thing has its own
advantages and disadvantages you choose your own path and how it can be used (2012,
