Social Media

Good afternoon everyone, the honorable Mr. suwardi as our lecture of public speaking
and the honorable my friends. Lets say gratitude to Allah swt. Because of His bless, we are
able to present here. Today im going to tell you about social media, Social media are
currently emerging around us. There are at least three social media that are so big which are
Facebook, Twitter,instgram and many more. Those are technology products that are
favored by children, teenagers, and even adults. Through social media services, we can
make a new friend, expand the friends network, and knowing the situation that occurred in
other places. As the rapid growth of social networking usage from day to day, then all the
parents and teachers should be the good supervisors. All parties include parents, teachers,
government, and the society must work together so that the children can get a moral and
logic education in order to deal with the development of technology. Its better that since
this time, we always educate the children in order to adopt their attitude to the rapid
technological growth. When we do not guide the children with advice and a closed
supervision, they are very likely to be negatively impacted by the development of the
technologies, especially social networking. Basically, social media does have a variety of
positive benefits. First, children can learn to develop social skills as well as technical skills in
the cyberspace so that they can continue socializing, adapting, and even hanging out with
friends in all over the word. Second, they also motivated to develop their self-efficacy and
motivation based on the information from social media that makes them motivated to
succeed. Third, they do not miss the latest information available in the world because of the
spread of news and updates in social networking are quite fast. Social media sites also make
them become more empathic to others because they usually comment on photos, videos,
and status of their friends. Further more, they could also be keeping friendships even
though do not physically meet. Although social media has many positive benefits, but there
are many negative impacts. A child can become a lazy communicator in the real world. They
are likely have a bad level of understanding in verbal language. Social media also makes
children more selfish or individualistic. They do not realize that they have to communicate
and empathize with other people in the real world. Furthermore, it is also a place that can
be used to access all kinds of information even though those are bad information. Children
who are easily affected by the other people, certainly will be quickly affected by bad
suggestions available in social media. Therefore, to avoid the danger and threat of social
media, we must always keep the eyes on our children. Various forms of supervision are
needed. First, we need to facilitate our kids with a computer and internet at home, so they
do not need to go to internet cafes to access the Internet. Chek out their smartphone
everyday. That is intended to prevent children from accessing pornographic content and
other harmful materials. You are also expected to always check the browser when our
children stopped accessing the internet on a home computer. With those information and
solution, hopefully we can protect our children from the bad of social media and internet
growth. I think thats all and Wassalamualaikum wr wb.
