The internet is very important in to us nowadays to find any information,
log on to social media , to get updates of the latest trends and news and many
more . If there is no internet , it would be very hard for us to complete any task
given. As an individual , regardless if you are a child, teen or adult , we
always use the internet wherever we are. Maybe it's because the internet is
simple , fun and fast , thus we sometimes easily " controlled " by
him until we forget about the real world for a while.
If compared to the influence of traditional media like
newspaper, the new media of course, have more powerful impact and with the
emergence of web sites such as YouTube, it could attract more people to use the
internet , especially the youths . Social sites such as Facebook , Twitter and
Instagram is a trendy among people nowadays and became very influential.
It is a bad thing if the internet was used to abuse .
Freedom of expression is important and should be a medium for us to
express dissatisfaction about certain issues. However, when we expressed an
opinion of certain sensitive issue that revolves around races, religions or
political ideology , we should know that we are not living in this country with
only one race. We are people of other ethnic , minority faiths so we can not
blindly point out opinions. Some people , they believe anything they read or
seen on the internet. So , when we make a statement of the political
party, the religion, or race, we must know the impacts and the consequences
that might affects others and our reputations. But, internet also, from another
perspective, can make our works easier, and to connect families and friends
from around the world and provide us informations faster.
Perhaps here , people will question where the freedom of
speech , but we need to know the limit . We live in Malaysia , a country of
democracy, and multiracial. Instead of pointing out statements blatantly,
we should care about what we post about to keep the harmony among us . As
long as we know our limits , we are free to say anything. In the end , it
depends on how we apply the Internet in our daily lives . Whether good or bad,
it's our own decisions , so use the internet wisely.
