I'm at the gym at Sudirman area, right after shower and sitting at the lounge area, I saw a guy talking alone in front of his phone. This is what he said, "hey this is radit, your broadcaster for tonight thank you for watching me at my room, thank you for you all of my 150 viewers" then a friend of him come to him and he explained what kind of "apps" he used. He used BIGO! I have like AHA moment, I saw my friend's status before on facebook about bigo. from what I can extract from what he explained, this is the app where you can have your own audience and go live, pretty much like facebook streaming and you can see your audience interact directly at you via chat and this phenomena tickles me. well, people can get attention easily right now, there must be plus and negative side of it. for me this is unreal attention. Hmm, I'm not kinda person who follow on some trends but this? I will give it a try, even no one watching me.
I think so many what ifs in this sort of old and new concept, what if the user of this app is not responsible? what if they spread hateness? what if someone really can spy on your activity during this Live moments? well social media itself is a very powerful tools to spy on anybody anyway.
what people need right now is media literacy. They need to filter whatever they say, whatever they do online, also whatever they read and believe of media. Media is a powerful tools to fool people, to make people believe whatever message the content maker wants the audience to believe.
I study this field and the answer is only media literacy and of course education. Media is complex yet mesmerizing , just looking at the screen that makes you do everything, like mass hypnotize.
