Social Media : The two faces of one coin
Pakyong, 25 Feb: Social Media/Networking is the biggest change in human history, ushering in a new era and a new generation simultaneously. Social media is a tool that enables us to share all types of material with others, including photographs, videos, blogs, and a lot more. Individuals are becoming more connected and knowledgeable thanks to social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Social media is now widely used because of its indescribable advantages and pleasures, therefore you can find it anywhere in the world. These web-based platforms do, however, have their own benefits and drawbacks. Hence, let’s look at some of the advantages of social networking. The ability of social media to distribute any type of information globally is by far its most significant advantage. Students can now complete remote learning in the convenience of their own homes thanks to this. Also, social media is the main tool for raising people’s awareness of a range of social issues. It has also helped those who live far apart from one another to communicate. Nowadays, people can connect with one another from anywhere in the world.
Social media has a positive effect on businesses as well since an increasing number of companies are establishing online profiles on sites like Facebook or Instagram, which has accelerated their company’s growth. Globalization has thus been made feasible via social media, which is advantageous. Similar to how a coin has two sides, social media also has a negative side. The main problem is privacy, which frequently leaves your personal information open to thieves.
Additionally, modern students spend the majority of their time on their phones and laptops and are addicted to social media. Their academic performance is significantly impacted by this. When something unfavorable about them is uploaded online, privacy violations have led to the suicide of many young people and students. As the information provided on social media platforms is not always reliable, it can occasionally lead to misunderstandings and dangerous repercussions.
Concluding: Social networking is a fantastic tool for meeting new people and fostering wholesome relationships. To ensure that it does not hurt society, people must learn how to use it responsibly. In order to have a hassle-free experience, one should publish less personal information on social media.
