Social media came in many configurations such as, social networking like Myspace and Facebook, blog, vblog. Internet forums, and etc.
The advantages of social media is that, it helps to bond relationship between one and another, we can easily communicate with people from another part of the world and learn about their culture at a very low cost. And it made life easier too. You wouldn’t have to write, seal a stamp and post your letter just to get in touch with your love ones. Instant Message (IM) like Yahoo Messenger (YM), Skype, MSN had made it easier.

Furthermore, with social media like blog and vblog you can share a lot of things; your thought, pictures, videos and so much more. You can show off your creativity, skills and participate in certain community you chose to be. You can do most of everything without anybody controlling you and telling you what to do and what not.
On the other hands, there are also some disadvantages regarding this matter. Some people might misuse these technology for their own benefit to degrading others and some might also addicted to it.
