Hi everyone,
Today, I am going to talk about the impact of social networking sites. Their impact is like a coin, having both positive and negative sides.
Firstly, the positive impacts:
By using social networking sites, we can connect with people and access information from any part of the world. For example, during times of disaster, we can find information about safety measures and safe locations through social networking sites.
Now, coming to the negative aspects:
These platforms can be a breeding ground for false information and manipulation. For example, during recent elections, a single negative comment could incite public violence and change the tide of public opinion.
To conclude: The impact of social networking sites depends on how we use them. If we use them properly by differentiating false information from the truth, they can be a great boost to our lives.

Hello Everyone,
In my point of view, on using social networking sites has both positive and negative impacts, but it depends on my own that how I use it, which I mean to say that whether I use it for our work, studies, etc. Or for our entertainment, trolling someone, etc.
So, as I move towards the positive impact, it helps us in studies, and also enhances our creativity by providing some new ideas. As I think that it also saves our time during preparation for something, like if we don't get any concept, then it's usual that we are going to search for it in books, but we get it in a few seconds on YouTube. If we look at the past, many people didn't get information on time because of which them lost their exams, jobs, admissions, etc. While nowadays this cannot happen as people interact with each other through these sites, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, they get to know it.

Social networks have profoundly reshaped how we communicate, access information, and form connections, bringing both benefits and challenges. They enable instant global communication, fostering relationships and supporting professional networking. Social networks raise awareness on important issues and can influence positive behaviors, yet they also spread misinformation quickly, creating “echo chambers” that reinforce biases and contribute to social division. While these platforms offer communities and support, especially for those facing challenges, they can also impact mental health, fueling stress, anxiety, and comparisons.
For businesses, social networks provide marketing opportunities and customer insights but raise privacy and data security concerns. Balancing these impacts is crucial for maximizing the benefits of social networks while managing their downsides.

Good Morning Everyone. I am Amrita.
The topic given to us is the impact of social networking sites.
First of all, a network or a web is a cluster of all information's including all the bad and good ones, and network sites are one of them. It is like a mirror to our modern society where many people spend their time on social sites. If we positively use this, then it will be very helpful, like many people become YouTubers, vloggers and earn handsome money but if we look its opposite side, which is devastating. Some children get trapped in online games and fake investing sites, and some lose their lives. Spending much time on social sites is also an addiction which leads to unproductivity and depression.
Yes, social sites is just like a clay, if we build it in a good way, then it will show its goodness otherwise no use of this sites is the only solution.
Thank You.

Hi everyone, I take this opportunity to start the GD.
According to me, we should not just differentiate this issue as black and white. There is always a grey side of any issue.
Social Networking Sites have benefited us for a long period,
It has made it easy for us to connect with different individuals on a large scale, giving us new opportunities in the field of business, and marketing.
It helps young professionals to get in touch with recruiters when they need jobs.
Apart from its advantages, there are many loopholes in it. Social Networking Sites give cheap dopamine and make someone addicted to it. These sites are easy playing areas for scammers and they target younger audiences, they expose pictures which are not for younger audiences.
At the end, it depends on an individual how he or she wants to use it and be much more careful regarding the use of it.

Hello everyone,
Social media has seamlessly integrated into our daily lives.
For many, it starts with a morning check of their feeds to catch up on the latest happenings. While this habit keeps us informed and connected, the key lies in how we utilize these platforms.
For instance, LinkedIn, Naukri, Apna, and Google News offer valuable knowledge, and even Instagram can be a source of insightful content if used mindfully. Ultimately, it’s up to the user to decide whether they want to harness these tools for educational enrichment or entertainment.
Platforms like YouTube, for example, provide opportunities for learning through educational channels, making knowledge accessible to those with a good internet connection. At the same time, they offer entertainment options like movies. It’s all about choosing how to make the most of the resources available to us.

Hello, my name is Ashmit Kashyap.
I'm expressing my views on the impact of social media. In my opinion, everything has two sides. First, I want to tell about pros: social media is a boon for students in this pandemic. Many children could not reach school but by social media, anyone can learn anything. Everyone can be connected to their relatives and friends even they were miles away. Creators show their talent through social media.
Now I tell about cons: People get easily addicted, students can be distracted, scams and fraud can happen, people use social media for hours and that reduces physical activity and can damage mental health, after use longer period it can strain your eyes. I must say one thing that it always depends on us how to use something properly. If we are used for a limited time and without being distracted then it's a boon for us.
Thanks.

Nowadays there are too many social networking sites which are having tremendous advantages and disadvantages which are;
Advantages:
We can communicate with the friend and relative which are living abroad for various purposes. Also, various social networking makes our life easier like online shopping.
Ticket booking, etc. Youtube is the best way for a student to extract knowledge and help in their studies. Social networking websites are part of our life and connect people with similar interests.
Disadvantages:
Many children play online video games telling their parents as they are studying.
In searching a good content the children need to waste their precious time.
Many of the spam websites are there which may lead to enter viruses in our pc mobile, laptop, etc. Spending more time on it produces diseases like mental illness, eye-sight problems, etc.

In my opinion, social media has both positive and negative impacts on people.
if I talk about negative impact,it will be excessive use of social media, watching web series, and excessively playing games; these all things take us in depression, stress, and anxiety. After some time, it becomes difficult to get out of it.
If I talk about the positive impact of the internet, one click can access any type of information. Before the Internet, it was very difficult to access information. However, the internet has also given employment to people through blogs, podcasts, promotions, and social media, where they can express their talents.
The internet is not impacting only the edtech industry; we all know that the education industry is now becoming fastest fastest-growing industry, but beyond that, it helps in generating employment through showcasing their talent.

Hello everyone,
As we know that every coin has two phase, so we talk about the good impact of social networking sites it helps us to know about what is happening in our country and also in the world. Before this, nobodies have a good knowledge and information now all the people are aware of the whatever happens.
As we know with the help of newspaper we are able to get the information and also the radio and now just social media.
Most of the people are away from the home just like for study ingredients and job and also our are Soldiers they are blessed to do face to face communication with their family.
And much more good impacts too.
The bad impact is that everyone is busy with the mobile they use the mobile till late at night and they are not like to talk with their parents and family member and because of that crime is also increasing.
