Hi guys,
Basically, when it comes to social media we all have our own opinions. Everything has its own positive and negative side when it comes to social media we can say that, whether it is positive or negative depends on the user's purpose. This social networking platform helps us to connect with a large group of people and we can get benefited. For example, if you have any clarification regarding any job or career you can get clarified with the help of these social networking platforms.
Nowadays everything, almost everything is available on social media. (basically in the mobile phone). Almost everyone is having a smartphone in their hands. It also helps them to learn and develop skills and knowledge.
In the time when we don't have these cell phones that is the smartphone, many people were not able to change their lives but now, almost everyone has got some idea to develop their living to improve their living. These have become possible because of this technology.
Technology nowadays helps a lot of people to grow their businesses and value their creativity and so on. It also helps a lot of people to know about themselves.
Even, through social media, we are able to help a lot of people with their education or else someone with a disease.
So we should consider the large positive side of the social networking platform and the upgrading technology, instead of looking at the negative side we can give awareness of the positive views of these technology and social networking platforms.
Thank you.

Hello,
Every coin has two sides, in a similar manner social media does have 2 sides: a negative and a positive one. Here we need to rationalize our thoughts and think accordingly.
Social media has helped to connect people across the globe. Many businesses including small and large, have thrived with the help of social media.
The advertisements put on social media help buyers find a suitable option, like, dislike and comment on the posts, which help businesses improve and grow. Influencers, fashion designers, singers, dancers, painters, choreographers and several other artists gain followers on social media, which helps them earn and continue in their chosen profession. These days information can be passed easily which can help the masses to know what is happening around them.
Amid cases of cyberbullying, theft, forgery, harassment, trolling etc. There are many youth who aren't able to cope with the trauma and take extreme steps. Many people are thrown into depression. Excessive use of social media can even cause mental disorders and insecurities of any kind.
At last, calling a spade a spade, we all know that every cloud has a silver lining. The positive effects outweigh the negative ones, which shows that we still should go with it. In this world, we need to be connected and learn how to use technology to grow, improve and thrive. Also, It's high time we stop counting the negatives and learn how to use this modern-age technology to our full benefit.

Hello everyone.
I would like to share my thought on social media site impact,
According to my knowledge every things have two sides, one is good and another side is bad, generally its impact varies according to gender and age and also depends on their purpose also.
Suppose in my family I often use social media for various pupose as for gossiping in whatsup, for interview use zoom, for connecting with people in facebook, for giving my personal opinion inn twitter. Sometimes I found its useful and sometime I feel I m so much involved to it.
But for my mother its a medium of entertainment as she often choose to watch reels,
But my father doesnt use any social media, there 3 people and there are 3 scenarios. What I observed is social networking sites are two sided blade if you have purpose and you know hoe to use it then it will become a tool for you for your betterment and if you don't know what is your purpose and you are just consuming everything whatever present in socal media you will be traped there for forever. As it is not only affected to individual level but also for social level also, now we are not depended on only news channel or in newspapers, now we can get international news and information also in this platform as this also leads to fake propaganda and news to make a good image or bad image of a subject.
So we are the one who should understand this and use this platform for out=r our and for our society wellness.
Thank you.

Hello everyone, My name is Prepsa. I have read all your views regarding this particular topic. So I also want to share my point of view.
As we know everything has it's pros and cons. Similarly, social media has its pros and cons. I'll discuss it one by one.
Pros: Social media is one of the best sites when it comes to connecting people and interacting with people all around the world. We can make friends through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, etc. We can gain proper knowledge about things that we want to learn. Social platform like youtube provides us with different kinds of knowledgeable videos in various fields of education, cooking, tech information, gardening, management, etc. Social media is good when it is used properly. It connects us with our loved ones. Through social media, we can chat and video call our friends and acquaintances, who are very close to us.
Cons: social media has its negative sides as well. It is misused by scammers for cyber crimes. In sometimes, it's misused by children to waste their precious time in such futile reels and shorts by scrolling continuously for hours and hours. People are weakening their eyesight by excessive use of social media. Nowadays social media is becoming a crime hub for scammers. These days a new type of fear is revealed which is deepfake. Through this hackers and scammers are ruining life of innocent. So we have to be aware of these scams.

Hello Everyone,
There are both positive as well as negative impacts that social networking sites have created.
Talking about the positive side, it helped all the people of the world to be reachable by anyone. We can easily share our progress, or if we want to seek help we can reach the world in a better way. We can advertise our business in a large scale also opportunity for talent acquisition is drastically enhanced as we can easily find job all over the world and the recruiters can reach their desired candidates. Platforms like LinkedIn have helped millions of job seekers.
Talking about the negative impact, social networking sites have increased the sense of comparison among people. Some people show off their lives too fabulous but in reality they are just lying to the whole world. Scrolling reels on Instagram has destroyed the academics of our youths drastically. People have two faces. They are living fake lives just to show off them better in social media. People have 1000 friends on Facebook but in reality, they are not having a single true friend. People are feeling lonely. They need some authentic person to share their thoughts, not the fake social world. According to a recent report, loneliness has become a disease in some countries.
So we have to use our wisdom wisely so that we can be prevented from the negative impact of social networking sites and can utilise the positive sides of these sites.
Thank you.

Social media.
Introduction - social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Where people can connect easily to known or unknown people and they get to know about many things and can learn something valuable.
So we all know food, water, and roof are essential for human beings to survive but apart from them, social media is one of them in today's world. One cannot survive from social media, we can do and learn so many things from social media because it is the reservoir of knowledge. You know if there is a head-on coin there is also a tail like that social media have its soo many advantages and disadvantages. But these solely depend on the person who is accessing it, social media is a source of earning for many people, it is a platform for many peoples who can show their talent to many people, social media is a great platform for many people who are willing to learn something new. One of the prestigious advantages of social media is that we get to know about the current happenings around us. If we talk about the disadvantages of social media is that social media gives us dopamine shots and one who is spending his or her too much of time in scrolling reels has no use with the future. Social media is addictive to so many things.
Conclusion - social media is a great platform for learning and earning as well. If children are using mobile the parent must do surveillance.

The impact of social networking sites on people has increased a lot and social networking sites have not only been restricted to Instagram, Facebook and Youtube. There are some other social networking sites such as Twitter.
TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, LinkedIn. It has given ample opportunities to the people to grow within the community by posting content that can outshine the people. Staying connected with family and friends worldwide via email, text, FaceTime, etc, quick access to information and research, banking and bill pay at our fingertips, online learning, job skills, content discovery (YouTube), involvement in civic engagement (fundraising, social awareness, provides a voice), great marketing tools, opportunities for remote employment The coin has two sides similarly social networking sites have some negative impacts as well on the people. Social media itself is not the problem. It is the way people use it in place of actual communication and in-person socializing. “Friends” on social media may not be friends, and may even be strangers. The more time spent on social media can lead to cyberbullying, social anxiety, depression, and exposure to content that is not age-appropriate. FOMO has become a common theme and often leads to continual checking of social media sites. The idea that you might miss out on something if you’re not online can affect your mental health.
