The Third Speech

The dangerous social media

Today information telecommunication technology is always changing,

biotechnology information telecommunication engineering has made rapid progress which has gone beyond the pale of God. Advances in technology have helped the human kind live longer and allowed them to communicate with other people using smart-phone and the internet, we live a rich life.

We live in revolutionary times.

The innovative technology of today will be outdated tomorrow.

When we communicate with other people, we always use SOCIAL MEDIA like face-book or twitter and send a message on them.

Most people are unaware of social media’s weak point but I think they do exist.

A month ago, I watched a movie called Disconnect. This movie is based on the criticism and illusion of social media.

In the movie, ben has no friends who he can have a heart-to-heart talk with. Instead, he always listens to music uploads his music videos on social media. His classmate was very unfavorable opinion about him. In order to haze him, he registered a new account on face-book and poses as a beautiful woman.

He approached ben pretending that he was his fan. ben poured out all  his troubles to him. He even sent a picture of his naked body without doubt In accordance with his request. There were many incidents about this picture. He killed himself because of mental stress.

This movie gives the following message.

Leave the SOCIAL MEDIA right now!

Even in my own life, social media has been harmful.

Despite this, I love social media. I like to take pictures and videos about animals and objects and upload them on the social media called kakao-story. I think the reason why we upload our videos and pictures is the same.

In my case, the reason why I upload my pictures and videos is not only to share my life but also to record it. If you see my kakao-story, you can see over six-hundred posts. I don't mind who sees my story or not. I set importance on the act uploading itself.

A few days ago, I had a terrible experience with social media. My friend asked me if I knew  kim bla bla? .

I said I don't know.

He said that she sent your post to me and she already shared your picture to her friends". After I heard him, I said that was absolute and utter nonsense. Because kakao-story is similar with facebook. Only my friends can see my post.

How could she see my picture and share it to her friend. Furthermore I suddenly remembered yesterday's incident.

I saw a post about a handsome man and pretty woman on face-book. There were 10 people who called them attractive on face-book. They were very pretty.

I wanted to see the comment. When I clicked comment button, I saw a very memorable comment. The writer who wrote this impressive comment said that this picture is me. How could you use my picture? Where did you find my picture? I'm really angry and this is a grave intrusion into my privacy and an abuse of human rights. I'll report this to the police.

We used the social media in order to share our life and record it.

If a stranger sees you post and shares it, it’s terrible.

Help fight against the danger of social media from now on.

Search for your name on the internet. Remember your picture can be shared by a stranger. You may be exposed to this danger. Help fight against the danger of social media for a better future.

SOCIAL MEDIA is not safe.
