Social media is a medium for socializing with each other which is done online and allows people to interact with each other without being limited by space and time. Social media has become a place to interact in cyberspace through writing, photos, videos and so on. Humans can take advantage of the facilities provided on the internet to easily interact with other people. With social media, people will be able to save costs and get various information quickly.

The existence of social media in a person's life can bring positive and negative things. This really depends on how someone uses social media. Being wiser in using social media can provide benefits for yourself and others and vice versa. Of course it is very unfortunate if social media is used by irresponsible people so they use it incorrectly. They often use social media to commit fraud, spread pornographic content, and spread hoax news.

Personally, I am someone who is very active in using social media. As a teacher, I often use social media for various good purposes. I looked for various information on learning media and techniques as well as other things to support the teaching and learning process in class. I get a lot of positive things on social media so I spend quite a lot of time. However, at certain times I don't use social media, especially when praying and when I'm with my family. Likewise, when I am focused on working to get maximum results as expected.

Using social media wisely will certainly have a positive impact on users. However, if we use it incorrectly it will have a negative influence on life. When social media is used by those who are irresponsible, it will cause negative things for ourselves and the people we love, including: first They use social media as a place to spread hoax news whose truth cannot be justified. Secondly spreading immoral writing or content and photos and videos (pornography).

Third utilize social media as a place for online gambling. Fourth makes social media a place for fraud which is usually carried out to gain personal gain without considering the losses of other parties. Fifth social media will have a bad impact on a person's mental health. Feeling discouraged by one's own condition, and always thinking that other people's lives look better can cause mental health to become disturbed.

However, apart from having a negative impact, wise use of social media also provides many benefits for users. 5 rules that I will apply to ensure social media becomes healthier in my environment, including: first set the right schedule for using social media so that it can provide benefits and does not interfere with routine activities. Secondly protect personal data from being spread and used by irresponsible people. Third make social media a promotional place to find additional income. Fourth make it a habit to search for and enjoy useful content, and fifth try to always disseminate correct information so that it is useful for other people.

That's my participation in this extraordinary contest. I also invite @pelon53, @patjewell, @kouba01, @dirapa, @stef1, @wilmer1988, @albenis, @goodybest, @suboohi, @crisvera, @chant to take part in this contest.
