A Brief Explanation to The Current Life Contemplation
Looking back to the life I've led so far, I feel like something is regressing to the point where I'm no longer find it quite pleasing. We might share a common discomfort to some extent, for the phenomenon I'm about to discuss has been spreading widely and until today, it always appears in every aspect of social media life in particular.
Twelve years ago in the elementary school, I was told that globalization is when people interact beyond any physical border, where people from a certain place somehow managed to affect those who live thousands of kilometers apart, vice versa.
Yet never did cross my mind what it actually be like.
Now that everything is becoming so much easier with internet connecting almost every single person in this world, those simple definitions of globalization have become a lot more complex and without doubt, it has evolved into countless forms possible.
Social media is, without doubt, the most obvious proof of this assumption.
It has become trend since the breakthrough of online newspapers and magazines on the web that people nowadays tend to obtain the information they want to get through their gadgets instead of depending to the conventional ways, where they wouldn't likely to be able to share their thoughts about the information, despite it be required or not--something the former simply provide.
This then inevitably lead to the constant use of freedom of expression to a certain point where it becomes uncontrollably overused if not over-exploited: people use their freedom of expression to criticize other people's freedom of expression when they were just using their own freedom of expression.
But in the end, as much as I hate the fact that social media tend to trigger people to (re)act compulsively, I gotta admit that it also offers so much that is required to make improvements to our very existence.
