The video above is about Social Media. This is a reference video that lecturer gave to us to be discussed.
From the video above you can conclude that ice cream and social media have a lot in common. Why? Because the ice cream in that video is a "social" ice cream - by the people to the people. The inventor try to make the combination of new technology and new ways to work with customers helped the residents feel like a unique community. Then you can choose what flavors you would like to choose, vanilla, pineapple, or pickle ice cream, and it is same with social media. You can choose whatever you like, because social media has different style and function, such as blogs, podcasts, and video sharing.

Beside of that choices, you now also have new ways for real people to play in a role in providing feedback, organization, and promotion. Whether you are a big established company, and individual with loyal fans, or simply someone with ideas and opinions, social media means new ways to create and communicate with people who care. All social media have the same functions, they want to give information to people directly, enabling people to communicate with each other, and with social media, people can share and celebrate something together.
Now the question is how this new "Social Media" phenomenon is affecting your life and the lives of people around you? So, in my own opinion social media has had a great affect on my life with the options that they offered. Because honestly every day or in several times a day, I use multiple social mediums at once, such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Blog, Last.fm, and another social media to get the information about what is happening in world nowadays. And with Facebook, and Twitter, I can share and get new information about my friends and family, I can communicate and keep in touch with them although we live in different city and country, and the funny thing that happened because of social media I can meet my very old friend (my kindergarten friend), you can imagine how big the influence of social media to your life.
I also see that social not only affect to my life but also to the lives of people around me. For the real example, from my country there is a couple of sister and brother that show their singing talent with social media. They cover some international songs with accoustic version.

Because of social media, many people from Indonesia and other country watch and comment their video. Even they already had their own album in Indonesia now. I'm sure that they never imagine they can be so famous like this.
There is one more example from social media affecting the lives of people around me that I want to show you. This time is about a famous fashion blogger, still from my country, Indonesia. Her name is Diana Rika Sari (26th). She created her on 2007 start from her interest with writing, photography, and fashion. She pour her idea and passion of fashion on blog, because she feel free to write and share anything with blog. Because of her unique taste of fashion and social media, many people read her blog with an average of 10,000 per day readers, she also believed by some fashion magazines to be stylist. Not only that, she also proposed to be a fashion stylist in film making, the this young lady also developing her potential in cooperation with local clothing business.
So, the conclusion is there's a lot of positive effects of social media. Now everyone can show their talent and get famous easily. But beside positive effect, social media also has negative effect to you life, for example, a lot of scams that occur due to social media, especially social network. It is just about the way you use social media through your life. If you can use it properly and wisely you will feel the good changes in your life.
