Social Media

 Social Media  

Social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat etc. have become an indispensable part of today's world. In short, are you reading this article because you saw the link we posted on Facebook? Whether we like it or not, more than 1/3 of the world's population uses social media in various ways today. As a result, we can see the change in the society before our eyes. But the effects (positive or negative) of the use of social media networks on the human brain are rarely heard.



There are few Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Media. 

Advantages of Social Media

1. Connectivity

         One of the most important advantages of social media is connectivity. It can connect innumerable users from any place at any time. Through social media and its connectivity, the information could be shared across the world, and building relationships with each other also become easy. It leads to worldwide connections.

  



2. Education

           Social media has proved beneficial in the field of education. It makes learning easier by connecting educators and experts all over the world with the learners. It also helps in improving skills by enhancing knowledge and creativity. It creates flexibility in the learning process where learners and educators can connect at their own pace of time.

                                                          


Disadvantages of Social Media

1. Affects Social-Emotional Connection

             Social media has become a hindrance in the way of social-emotional connection. Be it the wishes on special days or expressing one’s feelings, everything has been limited to textual content through social media, which results in a lack of personal feelings and connections.

            Earlier people use to visit one’s place to wish them on special days, but now they find it easier to send a text message. A person’s emotions and feelings cannot be felt through just a text message. So, there is a lack of connection between people because of social media.



2. Lack of Family Quality Time

          I would personally agree to it that social media has caused distance in relationships.

      Earlier, people use to spend quality time with their family members by sitting together, having meals together, watching movies, having celebrations, and discussing any issues with each other. But now, we love to spend time alone with just our phones, and we need no one to disturb.

     It has caused distance in relations with family members by reducing that love and closeness.



           According to that,

                                         The advantages and disadvantages of social media can’t be denied. It is fully up to the users how they use it smartly and actively. I hope everybody would like to get the benefits derived from social media, and no one would like to become a victim of it by continuously addicting to it. Now, it is your task to think and decide whether social media is good or bad for you? And if you feel that social media is coming in between your personal space, then I would suggest you take a break from it. After all, when you correctly use something, then it fails to hamper your work or life; instead, it productively enhances your life by a creative, healthy environment and inculcating positivity around.
