In this blog post, we are going to discuss the positive and negative sides of social media. Are they beneficial for all ages, or they destroying civilization by bringing everything to our fingertips?

Before discussing this sensitive topic, we have to discuss something, what would happen if social and digital media ban in the world? You would say it'll be a loss to almost all because, In today's world, everything is online, whether it's your transactions or buying something. I agree with you because this is the fact, But not to deny that social media is being so much for today's children.

I will show you things are not so satisfying as you see.

Why is social media a good thing?

 1. Build Relationships

Through social media, like Facebook Hangouts and many others, we can talk to people worldwide and make friends.

 2. Share your expertise

Social media is a good thing because it gives you a platform like youtube, where you can show the world your talent. Youtube got huge audience means, your talent cannot be undiscovered.

3. Become more aware

We read and hear so much good and bad news on different social media platforms. It keeps us aware of what's happening in our society. You must hear of many people that went viral on social media and became a star overnight, that was because of the audience that uses social media every day.

4. Educate yourself

Yes, In my vision, this is the main benefit of social media. It teaches you everything you want, from drinking water (seriously) to the world of programming, everything that you need to learn.

5. Opportunities for remote employment

The world has victim worst time in a decade in 2020 because of Covid-19. In those days social media is the thing that brings employment, many people from all around the world became a freelancer and worked remotely to earn a lifestyle. Social media is good because it also gives business.

Just like in many other things, everything has a good and bad side. People say that social media is not good I disagree with them, just above we discussed the benefits of social media, I say the use of anything is good or bad, It's upon you how you use a thing. along with many benefits, social media also has some bad effects.

Why Social media is a bad thing?

1. Addiction

Many studies showed that children are becoming more and more addicted to social media, they come to social media to remove their frustration but unfortunately, they get more depression, have less tolerance for things.

2. Less physical activities

While social media has given us all the benefits, it has also reduced our physical activities. We suffer from all sorts of physical and mental disorders due to a lack of physical activities.

Numerous studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to depression, anxiety and even schizophrenia.

3. Cyber Bullying

I would tell those, who do not know about cyberbullying, it is like harassing someone, by using electronic means, and as technology advances, it has become more common.

Examples of cyberbullying include sending hurtful text or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos and videos, and spreading mean rumours online or with a cell phone.

4. False news spread quickly

Every human being is using social media these days, everyone is not responsible that before saying something negative or false news, he can do a little research about the subject, which can quickly spread all the negative information.

5. Social media makes you isolated

Where social give us the benefit that we can make friends from all over the world, It also isolates us, we want to confined to our home and comfort zone.

What can we do?

We all have to do our part to make social media a good and responsive way. We have to understand other has to do the same.

Everyone has to see its good sides and use it in a good way.

But that doesn't mean we should blindfold its evil sides, and that doesn't end it all.

We should schedule our limits and time to use social media.
