Social Media Access & Equity

These dyas, many people use smartphones. As much as the number of smartphone users, there are people who are addicted smartphones in that it’s easier to access to social media through the phones. According to a certain psychoanalysis study, one of reasons that they have those addiction problem is social media. It’s true that people are living in the 21th century, they can access to the internet and get information through the social media. The social media users can chat with friends, check their lives, and share thoughts. Most people in today’s society use social media and say that social media sometimes creates anxiety unless they access to social media even for one day. Another reason is that they are afraid of that they don't know what trend is popular in social media. These symptoms are psychological matters. Actually, a lot of people confront countless information. I've always been experienced it, especially the recently tragedy of the Sewol Ferry  in South Korea. After the event happened, my social media is about to be filled with news from numerous users. It cause me to be confused by  rumor. The problem which one is the fact is the new issue. It brings a question that the more information , the better indeed? Civilized men know that civilized human beings, cultures, and nations have less chances to access social media. And, people in advanced countries also know that “natives” in undeveloped countries could be happy although they couldn’t access to social media, even they don’t know what it is. Therefore, social media users of Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin, and so on, no, most people in today’s society should consider the futural functions of social media, and what and how they'll affect to the human society in order to avoid the situation that people are ruled by social media.
My thoughts and prayers reach out to the families and friends in this tragedy. R.I.P.
