The internet is another world that we create to make a
connection with each other easier and also to find all types of resources that
we need. However, it is also another world where we can be another person that
we always want to be or be another face that we hiding from the real world. Oh
well, you can see everyone trying to be Einstein, Sherlock and prove they’re
smart just because they read it on Wikipedia and Google. Who am I kidding? In
fact, I’m trying to be Carrie Bradshaw too even I know my writing is not as
beautiful as hers. Among of all characters, being a wicked witch on the
internet is something that someone shouldn’t be, but (not surprisingly) many of
us choose to be one.
I came across with another article on another magazine that
I read. It was about how Facebook can change friend to enemy and a story about
someone ruins another person’s life by using an internet. It’s kinda sad when
you used to be friend with someone and suddenly your friendship is broken just
because something that he/she does or says on the internet. This thing happened
to me either on Twitter last year and now I lost some of my friends that I knew
since high school. I’m not sure either I was a wicked witch once or them (trying
not to play the victim’s role here). After all, it was not a good feeling and
trust me, you got what you did to others even it’s on the internet. I still
didn’t get though, why do some people spend their time on the internet by making
this fake account on a person that they hate or get jealous with? Is it really
worth it or they just don’t have a life? Btw, those are just questions that I
had been asking myself for a long time ago.
