Social media shows how governments are corrupt and also gives the opposition an opportunity to topple regimes, without finding a solution to build a better future. I think that social media should be used in a way that makes a difference in our lives and reach a better future. Moreover, we must work to achieve the goal, because dialogue and speech do not make us get to what we want. From my point of view, I think that social media should be used in an effective way by showing the positives and avoiding the negatives.
I think that the world has become a small village through which people can easily communicate, and through it also, the news arrives very quickly in a few seconds. Additionally, Social media makes privacy non-existent, but for me I keep my personal information for myself and I don’t share things such as where am I and what I am doing and I always close the location on my phone. However, I like to share important things that would happen such as celebrating birthdays and things like that. It is easy to know the news of others and follow them. From my point of view, I think that we should use social media in a responsible way, so we must choose those we follow based on the unity of thought, moderation in thinking, and distance from extremism and If there is a difference in thinking, then somehow we must meet in a point.
The part of the event that was interesting when we went in to groups and started writing sticky notes on the board about things that are linked with digital literacies. I wrote protection of the digital identity, coding and programming.
I learnt from the digital literacies that I should use the social media in a way that won’t harm me and others, and also learnt to be skeptic about everything is see and hear until it is proved right. Moreover, learnt how to protect my digital identity in various ways. From the questions I answered in the campus conversation the results revealed that I am comfortable in creation and innovation and also comfortable in tools and technology.
