Through multimedia, you can change the way you want yourself to be seen by others. You can actually be a different person online if you choose to, which I personally find really creepy. *Imagine creating avatars that aren’t really close to who you are, all the posers, posting photos that are “scripted” and are products of 99% editing and 1% reality..we might not notice but it’s slowly eating up our real personas, just pure creepy. But anyway, that’s a different story.* A lot of people seem to like that better than the real world though. It clicks because it helps its users escape reality even just for a brief moment. It kills time (sometimes kills more than it should) and sometimes it becomes a hobby habit hobby. People can find a new community wherein they may feel that they actually “belong” for once.

Another thing is that it gives life and more meaning to communication because it makes its range wider. One can connect to old friends, like how I found my kindergarten teachers on Facebook! Haha. And we can also make new friends through it. Somehow, it strengthens our connection with other people. It binds us together. It’s what keeps OFWs in touch with their families and what keeps long distance relationships going. Well, it plays a huge part in a lot of people’s relationships :)

I don’t know what more to say..I guess people are very fond of using multimedia not because they just want to feel like they’re in but also because it seems “normal” to our generation already. It's already part of our lives. I wonder if multimedia will ever stop trending...hm?
