in order to make myself viable in a knowledge economy, i would better educate myself and get certifications and awards. in our current society, certificates and awards are everything. in terms of capabilities, i would find something that i enjoy doing, hobbies for example. mine would be cooking and i would train hard and hone my cooking skills. even though people these days are always looking for certifications, it is still up to real skills to stay in a job.

social media is a reflection of how i normally live my life. i post and update my social media accounts with things that i do. one example is instagram: even minor events like having lunch at home, reading a book, can still be documented to my “story”. the story lasts for 24hours and it is automatically deleted. by the time the story is gone, i would have posted new and updated new snaps and that is how my social media networks mirror my own existence.

i use technology and social media on a daily basis. it is good as it allows me to connect to my friends quickly and efficiently. in some cases, i am also able to reconnect with long-lost friends and catch up.

however, it is also bad because staying on social media too much can affect how i interact with others in real life. it is important for a person to have human contact and social media tends to hinder it in certain ways. 

i should change my routine and use less social media because i’m afraid i’ll get too dependent on it, resulting in a bad social life in reality.
