How Tiktok is changing the World?
The world is evolving and change is definitely we need to adapt. Tiktok is now the most used app in the world, with exception of those countries that banned it. This social media platform was launched in 2016 in China, where it was called Douyin".
In 2017, it went internationally known as "Tiktok" that most of smartphone users utilise for entertainment or on making contents. Furthermore, the name, apparently, is a play on tick-tick an onomatopoeia for the sound of the clock and a tern for countdowns and minute by minute action.
The generation Z, millenials, and boomers find the app convenient because of its non-age discriminatory feature. Tiktok has a minimum user age of 13 years old. In Ireland, the digital age of consent has been set at 16 years old. Otherwise children under the required age, should be consented by their parent or guardian
The existence and formulation of term, "Tiktoker" or "Tiktokerist" was coined after those people who are on great fondness of utilising the app. Tiktok is a personalized video feed based on what viewer watches, likes, and shares. It offers real, interesting, and fun videos that will make one's day more exciting. One can watch all varieties of videos ranging from:
Comedy
Gaming
DIY ideas
Food
Sports
Memes
Pets
To oddly satisfying contents
And ASMR
Freedom of speech and expression, among others, are given importance in the social medium. And we cannot deny that this is a fun app that will allow us to create and share videos with our friends, family, special someone or even for ourselves in expressing what we feel.
This app can be really creative way, fun way for us to express ourselves and create own social content even at home, work and wherever.
The credibility of this app highlights a message that informs us that having the best life comes only from being contented with what one have and living a life in the present. It is surreal but taunting to think that we can be happy but not happier. Needless to say, we must strive in considering what is in front of us instead of thinking the value of the moment others are experiencing. It is a thought to that one needs to remember.
