Blogging isn't my type

Since the development of social media getting faster, the existence of the blog now become rarely noticed. Not everyone is being interested in having a blogger account.

I believe most people, especially Indonesians, are having their social media account and it's better to share the story through its media social account than through a blog. Especially now the existence of Instagram and TikTok already steals people’s attention. People tend to be known with their social media account rather than their blogger. 

Personally, I do agree if verbal communication is the best way to share our experiences, ideas, thoughts or opinions. The first thing that comes up in my mind is we do not need to arrange beautiful writing to share our experiences, we just maintaining our words and directly tell people about our story. But, not everyone wants to share their thoughts on both social media or blogs. As my friends said if they are not capable of arranging words by words to be written beautifully in their blog. They prefer to have a second account on their Instagram rather than writing their stories in a blog. 

Moreover, they do not have the desire to start blogging. It is because they are too busy to scroll down their Instagram account and listen to anyone’s stories rather than sharing their stories in the form of written text. They think that blogging just wasted their time because they should think about how to make their stories enjoyable to be read. Like an example they should think about the proper title, they should play the diction to make the language rare familiar on people's eyes until thinking about the strategy to gain more readers Different if they share their ideas through their social media. They can express their feelings directly by using their body language, face acts and they can make some fun stories that everyone can watch. Moreover, if they are blogging, the readers should imagine our story so that the readers will understand our story. 

To add more, people's aim of having social media is just want to be known by people around the world. So now, people are competing on how to be the most famous person known by a lot of people. The best way to be famous faster is by sharing their foolish action on their social media account, not on their blogs. As we know that interpreting a written text is harder than processing verbal communication. That is why people easily to attract people by using their social media account. 

Moreover, now we are entering the millenials era in which teenagers as the large number of the population who play social media affecting society to be less attracted in the reading stories. Nowadays, people tend to find their entertainment through their social media account, not on a blog. They just come to the blogs if they want to find important information about their school's materials, not make it as a hobby.
