I realised during most of young people’s free time, they
will be either playing games or will be on social media. One of the social media most people use is Instagram. I am a self proclaimed Instagram junkie. I have 534 photos and
counting (wait, maybe, I am not THAT bad). I have taken way too many pictures
of my meals, coffees and people I love. What can I say? Every picture tells a
story.

Little do the viewers know how much trouble it takes to get
that ‘picture perfect’ moment and the amount of time editing and choosing which
filter to make it look pretty. I am not
saying it is a bad thing. We just want to make our life look pretty and perfect
on social media. #justsaying
It does have some benefits too, aside from sharing photos
and videos; it can help people to meet new people and build relationships and
enhance self esteem. You can meet people who share the same interest with you
and to expand your network. I must admit that I do get inspiration from viewing
other people’s Instagram profile.
Children can use this application to share snippets of their
daily activities in school instead of saying ‘I don’t know’, when parents ask
how is their day at school.
