Renal introduces himself and discusses the prevalence and impacts of social media in Indonesia. He notes that 65 million Indonesians use social media like Facebook, Twitter, BBM and Instagram. While social media allows for information sharing and accessing up-to-date news, it can also have negative impacts such as distracting students from learning, reducing study time, and exposing users to inappropriate content online. Renal suggests using social media properly by taking advantage of its positive aspects and avoiding potential negatives.

1. Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.
Good morning. Let me introduce myself. My name is Reynal D. Hidayat and you can call me Renal. I am
from Language class.
Friends, today, people already know the name of social media. like facebook, twitters, line, BBM,
Instagram, Path, and etc.. Almost all adolescents use social media to communicate with friends, family,
or lover. even many parents who have a facebook account or twitters. like my mother. My grandmother
also had made a facebook account. but now it is was
sold.
In Indonesia, users of social media has reached 65 million people. where facebook users as much as 40%
, twitters users as much as 20% and BBM user, instagram, paths and other social media as much as 40%.
Social media has an impact for users. be it positive or negative impact. where the positive impact of
social media is we can be used as a study or a place to exchange information. and also we can find news
that are up todate.
Social media also have a negative impact, that is:
first, make the students become lazy learning because his spare time used to play facebook, twitters and
etc..
second, time learning of student is reduced.
Third, the emergence of sites that do not bring a positive impact on the students. like pornography,
online games, violence and others.
it is the impact of social media. My suggestion is we should use social media properly. and we have to
take the positive impact of social media and avoid negative impacts.
so much from me.
Wasalam’mualaikuM Wr. Wb.
