SOCIAL MEDIA – A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING ?
View:
Social media is a website that allows people to share everything quickly and efficiently. For example, the principal of the school popularly known as the Dancing Uncle became a social media sensation overnight. In an interview, he said that he does not even get time to sleep and is offered from many TV shows. This shows the power of social media.
Social media is so fast that any person or any news can be spread within seconds. Examples for such are never-ending. The other uses of social media are – It helps us to communicate with anyone from any corner of the world. As we know international calls are expensive but with the help of social media we can call anyone for free. Some people don’t have a habit of reading newspaper and magazines but they gather a lot of information before newspaper through the help of social media, such as – UC news, Instagram.
People can follow their role model, favorite actor/actress, sportsmen or anyone who inspire them. Apps like Twitter help us chat directly with them, but not always. It also helps us to watch live matches let it be any sport. Social media mainly captures the attention of the youth because everyone wants to keep themselves updated let it be news, movies or fashion. It helps the youth to start-up their own business with less capital and usually a free advertisement. Anyone can open a business page of their own in almost all the websites/apps. It not only helps start-up enterprises but also provide job and employment.
The most trending among the youths nowadays is web-series. Apps like Amazon Prime, Netflix showcase these web-series. The main advantage is that social media helps us to discover new places which we haven’t visited yet. It saves a lot of time which is equivalent to money. It helps us to know the surrounding and the people around us. We get to know about the new events happening around the world.
It helps an introvert to become an extrovert by being socialized. It not only helps individuals but also small and big companies as well as hotels. It helps these organizations to promote themselves, advertise them and also attracts a lot of people at a time with discounts and other offers. Hotels and café usually require youth and through social media, they attract a lot of youth towards them. Technology has reached that level where slowly everything is becoming socialized with the help of the internet and also has acquired a lot of people.

Many studies have shown that the extensive use of social media can actually cause addiction to the users. It can help in many ways but in the same way, it has been a disaster that has ruined the lives of many people.
It helps people to post anything and everything in social media and they think it keeps them socially updated but they have forgotten that those posts or pictures can be easily used to make millions of fake ID's and it is been done also of which people aren't aware of them. This generation thinks that they should be socially updated to show that they are a part of the world too. People think they are connected to each and everyone through social media and their bond is strong enough but they forgot that the bond between their parents, the bond between their friends are becoming equally weak. They are so addicted to it that 24/7 they are on social media only. Throughout their day, they feel to post something on their pages or check others posts as it has become an important part of our life. Extreme usage of social media has reduced the level of human interaction. The more they are connected to the world the less they are connected to their parents. The communication between them and their parents is completely reduced.
Social media has been acted as a fraud many-a-times by showing different photos of the places. For example, people book a resort online by seeing the photos about the place, by seeing the ratings, by seeing the reviews but sometimes it so happens that there is nothing that was posted/related to the social media. This is how common people are targeted and their money is stolen.
Because of social networks, the interaction with other people has become effortless and people have isolated their lives behind their online identities. Face to face communication and meetings has been reduced and many of us have lost the flavor and charm to be together under one roof. Most businesses use social media to find and communicate with clients. But it is a great distraction to the employees, who may show more interest in what their friends are posting than in their work tasks, not only employees each and every person is interested in others life rather than looking into their own life.
I hereby conclude my topic with a quote: “LIFE IS LIKE FACEBOOK. PEOPLE WILL LIKE YOUR PROBLEMS AND COMMENT, BUT NO ONE WILL SOLVE THEM BECAUSE EVERYONE IS BUSY UPDATING THEIRS.”
