Based from the above-mentioned essay, write a reflection paper in 250-300 words by tailoring
your essay to the guided questions:
1. Why would you prefer the traditional way of communicating through physical face to
face with someone or do you think that using social media is the best way to relay
messages?
- I would prefer the traditional way of communicating through physical face to face

3. Why do you think social media and the internet revolutionize your life?
- The internet and social media really revolutionized my life, in positive and negative
ways. On the positive side, social networks provide freedom to do what I want, to
sh
upload what I want and to talk or communicate to whom I want but still with the
knowledge and responsibility of being a netizen. Through the internet, I developed
my self-esteem and be able to encourage people especially women to empower
themselves. On the other side of the page, too much using internet consumes my time
