The impact of social networking sites is a topic of debate with both positive and negative aspects.

Advantages:

1. Social networking connects people around the world, making communication easier and promoting understanding.
2. Online shopping, ticket booking, and other conveniences make life easier.
3. Social media provides a wealth of knowledge, especially through platforms like YouTube.

Disadvantages:

1. Children can spend too much time on social media, affecting their mental and physical health and studies.
2. Scams and viruses can compromise personal information on spam websites.
3. Misinformation and cyberbullying are prevalent on social media and can lead to distrust in traditional news sources.
4. Overall, using social networking sites depends on how they are utilized by individuals and families. Social media can bring people together, but it must be used responsibly to avoid negative consequences.

I believe that social media does help a lot in connecting people. There are many of news which we get to know only through social media. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram have proved to be great sites for connecting people.

Take for example the Israel and Palestine war. As we know there was a lot of destruction happening in both countries and how we got to know that was through social media itself. Furthermore, many people started funding and donations for both parties through social media to help them.

Another example can be people putting dogs or other pets up for adoption if they are not able to find a good home for them in the locality. This reduces the chances of the animals suffering. In this way also social media helped connect people.

Therefore to conclude all that has been stated above, yes social media does play a very prominent role in connecting people and will continue to do so in the future.

The social media has both advantages and disadvantage like every coin has both the side so its one's perspective to see the which side they are taking as we know the motto of this side are to connect the whole world and these sites are doing it very nicely as now a day we are not far away from anyone we can talk to anyone no matter where they are so Social networking sites are helping us to get connected to the whole world and also it helps in spreading awareness of the issues which are going on on the different corner of the world but some people are taking it otherwise or we say using it in wrong way, they are trying to spread the fake news like the case of one terrorist in Kashmir who use these sites to manipulate the people of Kashmir.

So now I conclude with the notes that it has some demerits but the merits are more so we can conclude that social networking sites have a good impact on our societies.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Raushan Kumar. Our topic is "Impact of Social Networking Sites".

According to me, Social Media plays a big role in almost every person's life. There are a lot of pros and cons that I want to point out.

Pros:

Connectivity: Social Media plays an important role in the connectivity of people to their relatives, friends and beloved ones. Nowadays we all know how we are slowly disconnecting to our family and friends. Because of social media, we are at least in touch with them.

Business: Nowadays Social Networking sites are playing a big role in business organisations.

Those who don't have enough money to establish their own shop or office are running their organisation through social networking sites.

Cons:

Addiction to social media is one of the major problems of the new generation. Instead of utilizing it, they are simply wasting their time in scrolling up and down.

Social Networking Site:- An endless topic to debate on.

Well, we all share similar opinion/thoughts to an extent on the said topic & Here is mine-.

Social Networking- As the name clarifies itself, to connect with society, not in a physical way, but in a digital way. Ever since social platforms were created, it has really created another level of excitement among millions in every field whether it is education, entertainment, sports, or whatever. These platforms have now become a different medium of learning, getting entertained, etc.

But as we all know that every coin has its two sides and everything in this world has its pros & cons that define its origin. We "Humans" also even have pros & cons. If we have good in ourselves then we also have bad at the same time and that defines us.

These social platforms can either make someone popular overnight or it can destroy them forever.

Hello friends, As everybody knows social sites connect with our old friends and families too. It acts as a mediator. Using a social site is useful and harmful also.

Advantages:

1. Earlier there was no phone it was very difficult to know the other person status, Nowadays each person has a phone and social sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram where we can easily talk with our friends and family.

2. We also get some latest news on social sites like what is happening around the world.

3. The example we can say like BLUEWHALE game which is a danger game was revealed on social sites like not to download this game.

Disadvantages:

1. Instead of studying, nowadays small children are using social sites, simply they signup into Facebook, Instagram which is a bad thing.

2. Whenever we are searching something advertises comes like porn type, that time mind will divert which has to be banned.

From my perespective, social media networking may be boon and bane for the youngsters and adults, but its totattly depends on us, how they use them, because through social media, one can raise their voice against crime, such as corruption, rape, or global warming, as we all know the kolkatta doctor rape case, this case came into the existance through the social media only.

Secondly, for enhancing our skills and building our careers in networking, digital marketing, and content creation, social media plays a very crucial role. Everybody knows ankit byanpuria, he motivated a lot of people through their reels of consistent fitness workouts as well as, and this became a golden chance for him as he came into the highlights, even the Indian Prime Minister also met him. Social media makes his career.

It's dependent on our mindset, our perspective, our thinking, and how we utilise social media.

Good morning everyone,

As you all mentioned, social media has both positive and negative sides. But instead of focusing on social media directly, I would like to talk about our brain.

As we know, the human brain is the most powerful weapon. If you learn to control it, it can help you achieve anything. But if you don’t, it can manipulate you into doing things you never planned.

When it comes to social media, if you train your brain to use it wisely, you can gain a lot of knowledge and benefits. But if you keep feeding it only entertainment, your brain will start demanding just that. Even if you decide to use it productively, your brain can still push you back toward distractions.

So, I would like to conclude by saying: it is not social media that is good or bad. It is we, the users, who decide how it affects us. Social media becomes good or bad depending on how we use it.

Thank you.

Hi friends, myself Durga. I shall share something about Social Media.

Now, we are in different places, but now we can communicate via the internet and social media. So, if we use social media properly it gives us good worth.

Otherwise, it leads to being mistakes.

Learning is very important. Nowadays, we can learn a lot of things through social media. At the same time, most people are addicted to this social media. It causes a lack of thinking capacity. Whatever we don't, we don't think what will be the solution. The first thing we do is google it.

Through this social media, we have a lot of benefits like communicating with other people and learn new things and get updates on time. But we have cons also. Less interaction with family members and relatives. Depression, anxiety, fake id, etc. If we take the positive side of social media we get benefits otherwise it will give loss to us.

Hello all.

Bhoomika here.

So in my point of view, social media is also about the person, how people use those apps as much as how they forget everything when they are using it, nowadays all the students and all the jobs persons have used all the things but the main point is this is necessary to do the same right, and they have both prospectives.

If positive - they will be also used in a marketing strategy, finding a job, searching the new things for communication skills, learning skills also some brands and shopholders use some type of apps for marketing so yes it will be useful, and students also using for gd in the school. In the time of corona, video calling classes and working from home are used so it's ok.

And in the negative part some people are spreading the negative personality, some people are trolling, abusing our details so both sides are there over here.

Thank you.
