Hi Everyone,

In my perspective, there are both merits and demerits to using social networking sites.

Merits :
1) many types of social networking sites help homeschooled children with their subjects.
2) many different types of businesses are run through these social networking sites
3) individuals can talk and chat online with their loved ones who are living abroad which only got possible because of these social networking sites.
4) there are various social campaigns which are also run with the help of social networking sites.

Talking about the Demerits:
1) one of the most obvious demerits of using social networking sites is adult sites which can be harmful to pupils in many ways.
2) many mortals scroll through these sites endlessly without thinking for so many hours and due to this they waste their precious time.
3) Many different types of frauds also happen through social networking sites like credit card scams and so on.

Well, I think that there are many advantages of using social networking sites but its disadvantages cannot be overlooked I think people should use these sites in a proper manner so it won't harm them in any way.

Hello Everyone,

In my point of view, social sites gives both negative and positive effects on our life.

First, the Positive effect is that nowadays everything is possible through social sites easily and at a time. Social sites help us to connect with friends and other people.
Social sites also help with online interviews, online discussions, and online education. It provides very vast material related to study on youtube and on other sites.

Second Negative effect,

Social sites are very harmful for children they are playing games every time, watching cartoons, and videos. So it affects on their eyes and Mental health.

It also effects on their education and physical health.

Thank You!

Social networking sites have revolutionized the way we connect and communicate with others.

They have helped bridge geographical barriers, allowing us to stay connected with friends and family around the world. These platforms have made it easier to maintain relationships, share experiences, and support each other, especially during times of crisis or when physically distant.

Hello everybody; I am Indranil Mal and I am going to discuss both about positive & negative aspects of Social Networking sites.

Firstly, being a good user of social networking sites I would draw attention that Social networking sites are just like science & technology as it depends on the user.

Similarly, the case arises for social networking sites. It depends on the user. All positive aspects you all know and shared but in the negative aspects, you all missed a point. Nowadays there is a competition whose posts are far better than others causing huge fan followers and this often leads to expressing low testament which cuts of our nose. Also, blackmailers take a chance of our passive minds to get us ruined. So, it's our duty to limit and to remain alert while using social networking sites.

Social networking is nothing but a curse in today's world. We have a lot to know everything but at the same time, we have lost so much that had to be around us.

Just because of social networking we have lost our inner happiness,
* Our consciousness,
* Our soul,
* Our purity,
* Our dedication to the truth.

-> We have totally dependent on social ne for the wrong reasons,
-> A human being doesn't go to social media for experience and learning purposes,
-> They go only for Cheap motivation and a cheap kind of happiness that gives them pleasure for a small moment.

Hi everyone,

As for the impacts of social networking sites, I am little bit disagree with it. My point of view is different for the social networking site.

I agree that social sites have immense knowledge or it is the ocean of knowledge and we are giving our precious time surfing on it.

There are too many advantages such as connecting with our friends who are kilometers away from us, keeping in touch what happening in the world, plus spreading knowledge in all over the world. I am also getting knowledge from social sites.

Its bad impact includes the usage of these sites in the wrong way, children are addicted to it, and they are scrolling their time on these sites but these are adults who actually know what they are doing wasting their time or utilizing it.

According to me the worst impact of social networking sites are on children.

It affects it's mental health. It affects their eyes, children who are less than 10 years are also using the spectacles plus we don't know what they are watching on that sites. These sites are compromising their physical health because, in place of getting rest, they are playing games on phones instead of playing cricket, football, etc.

But they are children they don't know what they are doing. The major problem for this is social sites used by their family members including their grandfather, grandmother, mother, father, elder brother, and sister. We are giving our time on social sites because of which children are not getting attention from their family members. So they are surfing on Instagram, fb, twitter and so on. Because of this loneliness, children start scrolling through videos and then start making videos.

If we don't give time to our children, brothers then it is obvious they get outside to get attention. So they are not totally responsible for that. We should use these phones only for important work not for entertainment especially when we are living in a joint family. For entertainment, we should play with children so that they can be happy with themselves.

Please think about it, are we not ignoring our younger in front of mobile phones?

Thank you.

Hello everyone!

According to me, networking sites have both positive and negative impacts, depending on the way we choose to use them and I would like to discuss the pros of networking sites first.


* It connects with people around the globe.
* Networking sites are useful for business promotion and new-age marketing.
* It helps us develop and explore the work and keeps us up-to-date.

And when it comes to negative impacts

* Social networking sites kill time for those addicted to them.
* And it is easy for scammers to manipulate people towards cybercrimes.
* Social networks have no particular policies, everyone has their own rights, and they express and impose their comments on others, which affects their mental health and commitments in life.

Hello Everyone, I am Annushri.

The Impact of social networking sites is increasing widely although it has positive and negative aspects to start with the positive things we can communicate and connect with our friends worldwide It provides knowledge what is going where, how things work, and we can surf news on it, all the new things which are in trend and going worldwide can get through social sites, through new features of these sites we are getting aware of new technology getting Introduced and at the same time my people are finding their carrier through social media because it's a great platform to showcase our skills and to learn from It.

Moving forward as these things also have Negative sides too.

Talking about the vastest one Increasing screen time adults these days spend most of their time watching entertaining videos over it, attention spam has decreased because of short videos, people no longer socialize in public or may get anxious and start watching their mobile phones, kids these days are also creating the ID's and watching entertaining content throughout the day these are the complaints of many parents and so on.

I am not saying social media has a negative impact but the type of content we are watching is important though it has good and bad side but how we are seeing and using it can have a huge impact.

Thank you.

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,

From my perspective, social media is giving a major network to connect with people and also connect to the world without any boundaries.

Social media can be impactful, beneficial, and influential as well. But it does have its positive and negative aspects.

As I would like to share both thoughts about it, so the positive aspects can be:

1) digitalization which is needed according to the technological world allows individuals to gain knowledge about web surfing and exploring the various options for gaining info.
2) Social media also works as a community for people who wants to share their thoughts with each other through a medium.
3) It allows a person to connect with a choice of people and access the needed information.
4) Social media provide immense knowledge and alerts about the things going on in the world.
5) Social media is a platform that gives an equal opportunity to utilize it to every person without any determination based on age, education, knowledge, and ability.

Negative aspects can be like:

1) A person who doesn't have a smartphone, Laptop, or PC which is essential for accessing the applications and technology will not be able to adapt to it.
2) Social media can have abusive, violent contents which can affect the mentality of an individual and also can influence a person to commit it.
3) In the world of technology as cyber crimes are happening day to day which are like hacking data and illegal access to credentials can become a reason of social media effect.
4) Social media have its own consequences like sharing data, time-consuming. Also, personal data can be accessible to every person who is in that network.
5) Especially for individuals who are below the desired age to use social media need to have restrictions and all those restrictions need to be created or get in work by the companies and the guardians.

The above aspects only show that social media needs to be used for essential needs only and also not to get more involved in it.

Thank you.
