Social Media And Networking

Social Media and Networking

In today’s global world , we can be in touch with our family and friends . Even if we stay miles away , we can get connected to them by means of social networking sites .

But what does this term SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES actually mean?

Social media is any kind of online publication that allows the users to engage in multi-directional conversations in or around the content on the website. In short we can say , that it is an two-way conversation between the user and the person who is reading it .

As a blogger , i am also having a two- way conversation with you guys . These networking sites gives us the liberty to think , evaluate and express ourselves in this open and vast world of choices . People can communicate around the globe with those , who have same interest and passion .

Also , it gives bonus to the students as they can explore more topics with better resources as compared to the ones with limited resources . Their learning is no doubt improved as online sites provide them integrated topic wise programmes which will groom them intellectually. Now-a-days, even schools organise discussion forums for the development of a student’s personality and brain .

Social networking sites not only help on the educational front but also on business front . It helps in connecting with customers and getting their suggestions and feedbacks. Also , we can feasibly reach out to those who are in authority for any issue or complaint.But yes , every facility has advantages as well as disadvantages .

SOCIAL MEDIA OR SITES are boon as well as bane. Social media obviously merits us but if manipulated negatively, it may harm us . Exploitation especially sexual exploitation takes place on this platform . Information regarding pornography is being shared , and the worst part is that 13% of youth are involved into this which even makes them aggressive . Also , cyber bullying takes place which can harass an individual by constantly sending vulgar , abusive and offensive language . This causes a sense of fear and stress. People nowadays are addicted to social media and are living a virtual life. They are forgetting about their relationships which can be hazardous for them .

At last I will conclude by saying that this is my point of looking at this . Its your choice and responsibility towards the nation to use social networking sites productively and positively .
