The Internet, it is a term that most of us are probably famliar with, by literal term it means. The global system of interconneced computer network that uses the internet protocol suite, the main function is to communicate between network and devices, forward to modern day, its meaning has lost within the public, sure they are a small percentage of people who are actually aware of these stuffs, but mosty general public have no idea how this sytem works in detail nor just surface at all, but what most people know is the content of the internet itself, communication and entertainment have become the face of the internet itself, thus making it one of the greatest invention by mankind, the protocol itself is not even as complicated as neverless the invention of modern computer, but its influences is far much greater than that.
That raise questions and problems within the implemantation of the internet, us human the users of the content itself brought a lot of controversies, negativity and etc, but is it actually not as bad as people think it is, today we will be taking a full picture of the internet all the things we know and looking back again on how internet has affect us on daily basis.
Picture 2. Time spent using mobile internet (Hootsuite)
Indonesia has ranked top 5 as if 2020 January of daily time spent using mobile internet, this tells us that Indonesia has a lot of users from the internet though the daily consumption of content also vary in this view, that raises us a question?, what did those people mostly use their internet for?, well mostly it is being use as a communication tool such as Whatsapp, etc but next to that is entertaiment, entertaiment has such a huge impact towards the progression of Internet in Indonesia, the rising star platforms such as are Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and TikTok, this tells us that entertaiment business skyrocketed as much as the internet itself, which is a big deal, form of communication could be easily misinterpret by a certain group who uses them for evil intend such as scamming, spreading hate speech or even worse terrorism act, though we need to be fully aware of the impact that it can make. This is where "The Importance Of Processing Information In The Internet" take in place we need to educate not only the younglings who are in the school bench but towards the Generation Z and definetly those from older generation, they are much more prompt to misinformation usage of the internet and much less victims to any of the negative usage of that.
Picture 3. The negativity of social media (Alamy)
Then lets talk about the negativity of the impact itself that is much more common and that is the usage of social media, social media if used correctly can be an important tool for us, so important that when we do our daily life basis we can’t function properly without it, so then how about the negativity that it can cause?, it is a lot as we see.
Isolation, isolation makes us feel like we are living on our own world, distracted from real life and focusing too much on social media, it could be a big problem if not handled correct, and can cause something such as anti-social behavior.
Decreased Productivity, this is the opposite of the intended usage of social media, one we use it as a form of entertainment, we basically stick to it so much that our work and activity day to day is interupted by it.
Cyberbullying this scenario happens so much to those young people nowdays, it is a form of bullying that we all know but it happens in the social media platform, no much else to say about it since we all pretty much aware of its dangerous.
That are just some of the negative effects that I can talk about, there are much more and get deeper as we progress through, and this is why the topic that I brought today should be a much more bigger concern and we should at least be educated through out it.
