"Dont use social media to impress people ;use it to impact people."-DaveWillis. This is a very thought provoking way of looking at this contentious topic; this is a heated debate usually between teenagers and parents and both factions have their own and unique perspective of viewiing this topic.Let us start by regarding the sanguine perspective.
Social media certainly permits us to be able to connect with our friends ,peers etc much more convienently even if they reside across the globe from you
Social media also allows you to be able to promote your buisnesses to people worldwide and it is free of cost of course unless you pay for companies to advertise your brand.
Social media also allows you to be able to share your adroitnesses and fortes across the board
Social media furthermore help you earn cash if you have a talent thats worth it
Social media is also a great source of lifestyle news
In situations like covid-19 being able to use socila media is a huge boon to get news especially as newspaper companies have stopped printing papers
Persuing with the covid -19 situation its also a great way to be abletoshare your ideas to help society with simple ideas that people might not have even considered
Social media allows people to give their own view on contreversial topics and gives them a platform to " put their word out there".
On social media platforms like wattpad you can let your creative juices flow and writes stories and share your creativity with other people who are fond of similar things
Social media also allows you to be able to make new friends and meet other people who you can connect with.
Now that we have regarded the positives lt us move on to the negetive perspective:-
Social media is highly influential,this can have a very negative impact on a teenager or adults life.Causing them to change the way they dress,talk etc.
Social media is very addictive which is really unhealthy in a teenagers life.They are distracted from their studies and then score poorly
People tend to post fake posts of them vactioning in a fancy place when they are really in a studio.This is highly treacherous for the influencer as they may end up wasting tons of money and emotionally harm themselves too.
Pursuing to the above point alot ofpeople who may see these fake posts not knowing that they are fake might feel insecure about their own life .
Alot of sick people may take your photo and put it on something obscene which is very scary and a huge negative
Alot of people may also post inappropriate comments on your photos which can hurt your morale
Cyberbullying is a very common and atrocius reality of any one who uses social media everyone is prone to it
When you post a story say for example you're going out of station anyone can see it and know your location which is very dangerous
When you meet people online you never know who is genuine and who is not , some peoplemay give alot ofimportant information to them and what if they are not good people??...you are putting your self in so much danger!!!
There are also alot of hackers on social media that can steal all your information
These were a few points from both perspectives to broaden your thoughts on this topic.Both sides have logical and reasonable points. So, according to me it depends on what is the purpose of you using social media???. i would like to end by writing every thing is benficial in limited usage and social media can be a pro and con to different people for their different needs.
What are your views??
Very Well Written!
