Today’s
society is facing rapid development of technology. More technology application
have emerged. This situation have lead to a habit called stalking, some people
find it is very enjoyable for them. It seems to me that this phenomenon is not
right at all.
Recent advancement
of information technology has resulted in many application, including social
media application. Social media allow us to connect with other people from all
over the world. Some of these are Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. These media
somehow make people spend more time on their gadgets. This habit is actually
cause a global phenomenon which called ‘stalking’.
Stalking here can be defined as an activity to peek our cyber friends. This activity
especially favorited by teenager and young female person, they often stalk each
other constantly.
These teenagers
have several reasons why they love to stalk. First of all, they are curious
about one’s daily life. Teenager with their high curiosity finds that social
media is a perfect place to do that. Secondly, stalking is something to do to control
the situation, for example a girl stalk her boyfriend to ensure that he is
loyal toward her.
Stalking
of course have some negative sides. It is in one way or another is breaking
someone’s privacy. Because it is monitored his/her daily activity. Peeking other’s
life is additionally considered as social behavior problem and it is not ‘healthy’
for our social life. It would be better to interact with people in real life
than in online life.
