that there are Virtual Identity of social media, these are power of anonymity,
double life, living in a lie and being the lie lastly is mistaken identity. In
power of anonymity these people who can fake and hide their identity in social
media, usually they used other people’s identity. In double life even the
account or profile of other people is already passed, the account can be
activated and can lead to power of anonymity. In living in a lie and mistaken
identity are just the same as power of anonymity and double lie because they’re
all hide the identity of people.
In
Prosumers of Media means, producers-consumer, proactive consumer of the media,
demand discussion on pertinent issues that affect society and individual lives
and be discerning of the reports that are presented to us and how we consume
them.
There
are good side in social media which is to inform, to educate, and to entertain.
In to inform people can be updated about current events and trend. To educate
is to teach people what should be done and to inform about facts. To entertain
is to know more about celebrities, trends and everything.
Basically
social media is a nice place to stay but others take advantage to destroy other
people’s personality and facts but it we used it in the right way there is so
much more to learn and to improve.
