The Secondary Need

            If you study some entrepreneurship lessons, you will know three kind of needs. This lessons is so important to use your money properly, so I think you should have to know this. There are primary needs, secondary needs, tertiary needs. Primary needs is a needs that the most important in our lives like house, clothes, foods, etc. And if we don’t fulfill this needs, then our lives will be in danger. In contrast to tertiary needs, it just only useful when your primary and secondary needs already fulfilled like jewelry, vase, pictures, etc. And then, how about secondary needs? Same like primary needs but, not as important as primary needs and if we don’t fulfill it, our lives still okay. So, I will tell you one of the most trendy in secondary needs. That is Internet.

Why I put Internet into secondary needs category? Why not tertiary needs or maybe primary needs?

            First of all, Internet is so important to improve my knowledge because there are so many information that very useful in my life like how to cook, how to make something and I often use it for my homework. But, if I don’t have Internet, it’s okay because I usually read books and I get many things from it. And I more enjoy reading books than the internet. The bad of information in internet is we don’t know if the information is real or fake so sometimes if I read something in Internet, I should have check in the book first.

            The second is for communication, especially social media (because to use social media, we need the internet, right?). Social media really useful for me because I get many friends from anywhere in Indonesia and also with social media, I can communicate easier with my friends, my family, etc. But if I don’t have social media, It’s okay because I still can use phone or SMS to communicate.

            The last is for make my life happy and motivated. Why internet can make it? It because I can find many motivational and funny pets especially cats videos from social media and YouTube. And also I usually watch those videos twice a day, and it really helpful for me. As we know that, we can get many things that make our life happy and motivated. So, it’s okay if I don’t watch those videos.

That’s all the reason why I put internet into secondary needs category. Internet is important but it will not kill us if we don’t have it. So, control your self on internet! ☺
