Social media have a big connection with our life. Nowadays, everyone cannot live without it. Some people say them don't use social media at all but slowly it will influence everyone. We can say almost every one who can understand or read, they are using social media in different form as communication, get information or know someone. What happen in our life all related with social media or we say, what happen in our life, we will put it on social media. A easy way to say, in generation of social media, everyone is a journalist.

Everyone will ask, it's have any impact that we get from social media. Let talk about positive impact first. As a student, we have more learning opportunity to get more information through social media and get interaction with people overseas and gain knowledge about them. We can gain more things other than knowledge in book and also know overseas culture and traditional practices. However, social media also create a lot of problem as cyber-bullying and negative issues among youngster. As cyber-bullying, they create some story or false information about someone and cause problem to them. The problem among youngster is the serious problem as youngster imitate the things that the read or watch from social media cause rape and violent case. However, we can say, this also cause seller do advertising on internet because it's useful than mainstream media. People always will buy things through online now or follow the style they see from internet.

Everyone will say is media influence our life, but do you ever think, we as a social media user and audience also influence or control social media trends? Social media also change that follow our favorite, they will focus on what we interesting and what we care about. Why false information happen? Why cyber-bullying happen? This is a question we need to ask ourself. Some of the social media create some issues just for attract more audience attention. Some more, internet have no censorship control, everything will be unfiltered before going through audience. There is a lesson always be a smart audience of social media.

Let get back to the topic of Malaysia. Will the government change with change in technology in Malaysia? As we can see all the things are improve and improving now. Government also come out with many new law and also things that make our country better. Just talk what we can see is all the billing system are coming out with online system now to convenient us. So, for my opinion, is a big yes to government.
