“ Why students are so dependent on social media ”

 

Social media makes it easy for us to communicate with the world community. We can make friends with people from different countries. In addition, social media also makes it easier for us to get various information and news that are currently being talked about. Even though it cannot be denied, sometimes there is also hoax or fake news that can trap everyone.

It cannot be denied that social media is a popular communication tool among students. Many of them spend time on social media even for hours. Social media can certainly have a positive or negative impact on its users. Then what are the reasons that make students so dependent on social media? here's why.

Based on the survey I have made, my classmates gave some of their arguments about using Instagram. Most of them use Instagram, and they often check it every hour or once a week. Some even opened their accounts while studying. From this, it can be concluded that Instagram is very important for them. Either as a medium of entertainment or maybe in getting information. Even though they often use Instagram, some of them also update frequently about their daily activities or habits. However, there are some who rarely post anything, and some never even post at all. 

From the information above, it can be concluded that with social media we can take many of the benefits in it. However, on the other hand, we can also be negatively impacted, namely, receiving information whose origins are unclear, the time we spend is wasted, and it makes us not care about the environment around us. Using social media is fine, but there's nothing wrong with using it to find useful things.


The following is a video of me reading an analytical text that I made myself based on the results of a survey I've done. To watch it, click the link below.
