In my opinion, Social Media is useful or not it's completely depending to the person who use it, he/she can use it gain knowledge, information upskilling himself/herself and even earn money on the other hand they can use it as entertainment which is okay for some extent but often they don't realise how much time they are wasting, another thing many little age children get free access to porn and other adult videos/comics which is not good for them and as well for society.
In last, I say by the experience that I have, nowadays social media has more negative impact than positive.

Hello everyone,
Social networking sites have made it easy for people to stay connected, share information, and express their thoughts with others around the world. They help us communicate quickly, learn new things, and stay updated about what's happening in society. These platforms also give opportunities for education, business, and entertainment.
However, social networking sites also have some negative effects. Spending too much time on them can affect studies, health, and real-life relationships. Sometimes, people face issues like cyberbullying, fake news, or privacy problems.
So, it is important to use social media in a limited and positive way to make it truly useful and safe.

Yes, in my point of view, social media is impacting every thought.
I'll explain this with one point i.e, if you are willing to purchase one particular product, you will go through the review given by the promoters.
Even if you don't know anything about the products, you saw the ads or promotional videos on TV or some other social media application.
You will be influenced by those videos, and you are willing to buy those products.
Here, we can easily get to know how a person easily changes their own thoughts.
Decision. And how one video let them to change their own thoughts even if it is fake or true.
So, we have to be more aware of these social networking sites, not everything is true, even not always fake.
I can conclude this with one line:" Don't judge the book by its cover".
You have to think and read in depth.
Thanks all.

Hello all,
In my opinion, social media has a good and bad side, it totally depends on how we use it.
It's a good platform where we can learn a lot of skills and upgrade ourselves, and know a lot more about many things.
Again, I will say it totally depends on our mindset on how we use it. Personally, I feel social media has helped me a lot. It helped to know about many things.
It helped me explore the places that I have never visited.
Yeah, if you are mindful of using social media. Then it's a great discovery.

Social networking sites :
Nowadays there are too many social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc we can use them for any purpose good or bad.
But our young generation is using it for bad purposes like on Instagram they just post their photos instead of posting photos, if they use it to collect knowledge then it may be useful.
Overall if someone is addicted to social networking sites then these are the worst but we can use these sites for study purposes as in the pandemic period YouTube helped a lot of children to continue their studies. And also if someone is living outside of his home then he can use them to connect with his family by video calling.
Thank you.

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.

Hello everyone.
My name is Varsha Piple.
You all rightly said and in my opinion, social media has two faces which are the advantages of social media and disadvantages of social media.
Let's discuss the advantages :-.
As we know the live example of social media during the time of COVID-19 we all were studying from home Teachers also taught us from their homes. It's a great advantage to connect with people from anywhere, anytime during COVID we all were connected with our family through social media such as Instagram, WhatsApp chat, video calls, and so on. By using social media we can upskill ourselves, we can do courses from it which is related with our field.
Let's move on disadvantages:.
Nowadays people are using social media more they don't know how it will impact their lives or health issues. We are seeing this because fraud cases growing continuously, and hacking cases are increasing. Children are spending so much time on social media like scrolling.
