Social Media has become one of the
most powerful tools for communicating nowadays. It has been a part of our daily
lives, of who we are and what we are. Social Media allows you to interact,
share and communicate with your loved ones. And as we set foot into this new
world, where dreams are being built and sooner being lived, we see more
of what social media can offer as society improves and expands. One of them
is how social media helps families during calamities.
One of the most famous platforms is
Facebook and Messenger which allow us to communicate with people even if we
are far away from each other. Through Facebook and Messenger, we can communicate
even if there are calamities happening in the country. We could just simply ask
them how they are, are they okay, or if they need some help. Families could also
reach out to different platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube by posting
what they need, what they lack, and about a missing person/people. These it
makes finding relatives, seeking help, and communicating with loved ones easily, faster,
better, and more convenient.
To sum up everything that has been
stated so far, social media is indeed a powerful tool in our society. It allows
us to share images, videos, status, or what we want to share with the
world. We cannot disagree that social media is a must-have when dealing with
natural calamities like typhoons, earthquakes, landslides, and other. It helps us
to seek help, from others even if we are just sitting on a couch or listening
to music while communicating; because that was social media should do, dealing
with something and doing something that we love at the same time.
