Social networking sites

The first social media I use is Instagram. I am impressed by its photo edit function. It allows me to edit the picture by adding a filter, changing lightness, modifying color and more. Sometimes, I spend 10 to 15 minutes to edit a photo and make it as good as I can. Posting a beautiful picture provides me with a sense of success and satisfies myself.

Youtube is my favorite social media. It has become part of my daily life. I will look for a funny video on Youtube when I want to relax. I will search for a tutorial video on Youtube when I need help in life, for example, having a programming problem. To me, Youtube is my friend and teacher. It plays an important role in my life.

Facebook and Twitter are similar to each other. Both of them allow me to share information on the internet, such as news, music, movie, sport and my thought. However, there is still a tiny difference between Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is more like a document about my personal journey. It records when I graduate from school or when I am in a relationship and more. Facebook can help me to build up relationship with others and expand my circle because I can see my friend's relationship and so do them. Twitter can help me follow the trend in the world because it becomes more and more popular in the young generation. It's more creative than Facebook. Some famous internet phrases or expressions are from Twitter.

        We often see or use projector in our daily lives, for example, a professor uses a projector in the lecture. Projector only can display content on the board or in a two-dimensional way. In the future, I hope projector can display an object in a three-dimensional way. I mean a real three-dimensional way. So people don’t need to wear a specific glass to watch the object like they do in the theater when they watch a 3D movie. When a math professor talks about a cubic by using the three-dimensional projector, students can actually see each side of the cubic. This technology can apply to various areas. In the hospital, if a doctor can actually see the patient’s organism which is needed to receive treatment, he will be able to give a correct solution easily. When it comes to video communication, people no longer need to watch other people through the screen. They even can walk in each other’s room during the video call. This new media might not be very useful, but...

Creativity

             New social media is beneficial for creativity because of its convenience. People can access it easily and rapidly. People are free to express themselves and exchange their ideas on it. And usually, there is no cost for people to use the build in function in social media. New social media provides people with a large framework and allows them to fill it with new ideas. Take Twitch as an instance. Twitch is a live streaming video platform. When streamer is on live, people are talking in the chat room. Usually, people will not type too many words in the chat, because the screen will keep rolling up and streamer doesn’t have enough time to read it line by line. In most cases, they use meme sticker to express the same meaning of their words. So, more and more stickers are created. Twitch implements a new function to allow user to save new stickers. During the stream, there must be one or more interesting moments. Sometimes, streamer and audienc...

Privacy

        The new media provides us with a lot of conveniences in our daily lives. The smartphone is powerful to help us do a lot of things, such as taking photo, recording video, playing game, reading book and so on. We can go online shopping and pay by our credit card easily instead of spending time on going to the real store. GPS application can lead us to the destination. Social media can help us build a connection with people and the world. But, when we get and enjoy convenience, we must lose something. Apparently, we trade our privacy to convenience. What is privacy? It’s our right to be alone. We have the right to control our identification information from unauthorized commercial use. However, we are forced to give up the right in some time. When we purchase online, if we don’t want to enter our payment information every time, we have to agree with the browser to store it. Then we can just click a button twice to get the information typed. But, our information ...
