Impact of Social Networking Sites

Hello everyone,
I think that anything we are using has its own positive and negative impacts on our day-to-day life. This same goes for online social media platforms They have multiple benefits:

- We can use it to communicate with our friends.
- We will remain updated with all happenings in our surroundings.
- We can interact with professionals through various social media platforms for example LinkedIn.
- Even people who are not good at socializing can share their views through social media platforms.
- We can use them as a medium to gain knowledge .
But it has a negative side too;
- Sometimes reciprocating our emotions through social media is not possible because emotions can't be expressed with emojis(which are used widely these days).
- Socializing in person has been reduced due to social media.
- It has become a major distraction for youths and younger generations.
- It has become a major platform for spreading false news and information rapidly.

We all know that social networking has a lot of pros. I want to put the cons points forward.

Yes, its true that everything that we use should be limited. All the scams that are held by scammers, all the crimes that are held by cyber criminals are because of this social networking. Recently the deepfake images of Actress Rasmika Mandana, and Alia Bhatt went viral very shortly. To make their videos viral, people can post anything without thinking about the after-effects of those videos or images. Also, scammers make fake accounts of you seek financial help from your friends, and then deactivate that accounts. In India, a lot of people don't know how to handle social media so by just replying to a message, their all-time savings can be theft by scammers.

Yes, there are a lot of advantages to using social media but it should be used in the right ways we should be alert enough while using this and we should have proper knowledge of something before we use it.

Social media is used to make a connection with friends, customers, client, family, colleagues etc. Social media is a powerful platform in our society and the world through social we can communicate all around the world. We can get all news of the world in a few minutes. By social media, we can chat with a new friend and old friend. We can get the latest updates of games and videos. But a coin has to poses head and tail as same social media has to probability sometimes some bad effect of social media in the world like as we get the fake news this news make the pandemic situation in our country. Now a few times ago when our country facing a pandemic situation of covid -19 then much fake news was coming through the social media. And they make over the pandemic situation. Some other bad effects of social media like as many people are addicted of social media like as FB WhatsApp I think it only depends on us how we use it in positive or negative. Thanks.

Hello.

I'm Saurabh Kumar and I am glad to start the discussion on the topic impact of social networking sites actually social networking sites have really emerged as the most powerful networking medium because they connect many people at one stage or platform which provides the impact on this generation people as well as old generation like in today world most of the people are addicted to the social networking sites like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc by which they addicted to this and also child knows that type of things which is not good for them which really impact on the mindset of the children. But it totally depends upon how you use it if you use it for some good purpose like education and current affairs which enhance the value of life or they connect with their loved ones then it's good but if you use it for time pass or for getting like then it's not valuable actually it's all about to add value to the life not getting likes.

Thanks.

Hello.

I think social media is only good unless you consume it to a limit. Like any other thing, even social network sites also have two faces to them. The positive one is when you use the network for positive works like news consumption, daily updates, and having a regular update on your friends, but just for a limited time in a day, like for 1-2 hrs might be enough, then it's a positive thing to have. Social networks can even be used for e-commerce.

Nowadays, many emerging brands or startups have been using social networks to grow their brand and increase their revenue by connecting with their potential customer efficiently and effectively.

Now, coming to the negative aspects, like using social networking for too long, wasting time on it by watching reels or chatting unnecessarily with friends, even consuming negative news or falling prey to fraud occurring in social networks is wasting not only a person's valuable time but also their money.

Hello Everyone.

I am Vivek.
I want to share my thoughts about social media sites.

Social media sites have pros and also some cons. Pros are that with the help of social media sites, we can gain knowledge and get some informative information with the help of YouTube we can study or prepare for competitive exams without taking any paid coaching.

Everything is available on YouTube and also with the help of telegram we can follow some alumni or people from whom we can get valuable information about our careers.

Instead of that there are some cons also due to excessive use of it we can lose our eyesight and be mentally disturbed. Nowadays, 4 or 5-year-old children also use these sites due to this they can not develop their minds physically and cannot focus on studying and developing their minds.
But some people take it as a source of information and can achieve success.
So, finally, it has some bad or good impact on us it only depends on the user.

Hii Everyone,

Networking sites are becoming the bridge of communication between people Introverts can now talk with anyone this is the first and best use of social networking sites as it helps us to improve our social skills, and communication skills.

The only drawback we see is that these site uses the user's data to give targeted ads and improve their platform this can not be good for us as if privacy is our priority.

After all social networking sites are changing the lives of everyone by building brands, businesses, and relations with other people.

As every coin has two sides, there are positive and negative impacts of social media.

In Today's scenario. everybody is busy in their lives. Hence, we have no time to stay connected with friends and relatives.

Social media is a fast and convenient way of communication.

Addiction of social media is worth a serious issue for the society.

Hello everyone, I am Kartik Dubey. Tell me about social networking sites.

In social networking sites, we can't directly say their impacts because social media having advantage as well as disadvantages.
First, I start with advantages social media helps to connect with friends and family members who are living far from us and it is help in education because nowadays online education having high demand and helps in marketing, hiring for jobs and also it is one of the way to earning money by making videos or reels and social media also helps in exploring the ideas or thought to all our word these are infinite benefits of social networking.

Now, I am going to share some thoughts about disadvantages, like some peoples are misused the social media by uploading MMS footage, which is not good for those student having age of 18, and also hacking is a concern, and young people are using too much social media this not good for their own health.
