JURNAL 2, TLL.. (how digital world affects human's life)

Life is now confusing. When we are asked by our friend “do you have Fb account?” then we answer No, be ready they will laugh as loud as possible in front of us. Why is this so? Right now everything is online. Everything builds their houses in the internet. We can find everything in the Internet, search everything, and everything that even we never know before. People who seldom touch internet will be right now labeled by Cupu or something like that vexing word. This phenomenon commonly happens surround us, it is because internet can be accessed everywhere and anywhere now on. Today’s mobile phone is already sophisticated and completed by internet browser that can be used to connect to the internet connection.

You know, now on internet has changed human’s life, from far to be close, from imagination to be, reality, from difficult to be easy. Mostly internet helps us do everything we are fond of. However, it somehow makes “social inequality”. Why is this so? People who actively involve themselves to the internet society tend to call those people who never get used to the internet down. They feel being active in the internet is as if they have much money then they consider another people are poor. The real case, many students who study in the “school-standard high” will tend to insult their friend who studies in the “standard school”, because of what? It is mostly because of the different facilities provided. Students in the high standard school often share story about their school facilities to their friend who studies in the standard school. Then, students in the standard school will feel that their self esteem decreased. They feel that they are not modern as their friends like. They feel that they are not in the same level with them. Then “social inequality” happens.

Today is also called by digital era. We can create everything just by one tool, “COMPUTER”. Designing something, counting something, drawing something, typing something, just can be done by this tool. When the type-writer still existed, people would be very complicated. When they typed something, then some words were miss-typed, they had to retype it from the very beginning. However, since the computer exists, everything is easy. We can save our worksheet though it is not done yet, then we can continue it later. We can insert picture, drawing, painting, and change the word colors as what we like.

We must be grateful for sure due to this. But we must keep our manner. Don’t ever we forget where we are coming from! Technology is made to help us do our business, not to make business for help.
