One can say that it is a boon for the mankind. But for the rest it might not be the same case.So, Is it good or bad?

That is the most frequently asked question today. Well, there are always two sides of everything; it depends on your perspective on how you perceive it. The same goes for social media, most people admire it as a revolutionary invention and some seem to take it as a negative impact on the society.

What is social media?

Firstly let me explain to you that what exactly does the term social media refers to.Social media refers to websites and applications that are designed to allow people to share content quickly, efficiently, and in real-time.Right from your order placement to the online booking and your texting, these all compile up to form social media.

Remember! Social media is not just about you.

Like every coin has two face!
There are lots of positive and negative uses of social media in our daily life. The positive uses can lead people to productive use of time, peace of mind and happiness, healthy conversations in which people like and enjoy by sharing personal and professional activities with a wide variety of people, groups, and communities.

How can it be helpful?

Social Media can help you express yourself in ways that you never could in person. You can ask anonymous questions and get medical help online. You can talk to distant relatives and find old friends. You can get help on assignments for class and show everyone what you're doing on snapchat. You can make a profile for your pets and show everyone how cute they are. You can support someone who is depressed. You can vent about anything you want. You can talk to a friend or confess your love. You can do almost ANYTHING on social media and most of it is good.

It can help you with online classes and people all around the world with home work it can also help you with work and businesses and also its good to have around because if your like me and you family lives every were around you and you don't see them all the time its nice to like face time them hear there voice for a change it is making the future better for us.

What's bad in it?

Cyberbullying can occur. You might also meet strangers and get called to a meeting point which is dangerous. Social media distracts everyone from their daily lives.

Social media is not social.
There also are inappropriate stuff on social media you wouldn't want to see. Some people also get blackmailed on social media!

ocial media is never beneficial.
Yes, You can say that it helps you to connect with people, Builds relationships, Get educated, Expand visions. BUT have we realize how much more connected we can be with people without social media, How many more healthy relationships we can have? Talking to and helping someone that we don't know instead of scrolling through our posts?

Do we realize how much more is there in the world that can educate us without the electronic box? How much more we can learn?

Why do we have to trap ourselves into boxes when there's so much more outside?

CONCLUSION

It you who only decides whether it is futile or not, rather just going in a rat race.think that the effects of social media have been somewhat balanced, to be honest. There are many good things about it, and many bad things. In the end, if you can keep your own life centred in reality and use social networking as a small part of it, you should be just fine.
