Good morning all,

My opinion on this topic is, there are always two sides, one is positive and the one is negative. It is totally depends on us, how much time we should waste on social media by scrolling and chatting with friends unnecessarily, this is the negative side.

As I told, the positive side of social media is we can easily connect with our old friend and family, we can share our thoughts and social media helps a lot in business growing, we can easily connect with 1000+ people in single day or I can say in minimum 24 hours so this is positive side of social media.

So, we have to use it wisely.

Thank you.

Hello everyone!

In my opinion, social media can be good — but only for those who use it wisely.

For example, if someone is using social media to grow personally, gain knowledge, or even earn money, then it’s beneficial for them.

However, if a person is spending too much time on social media without any purpose like visiting inappropriate websites, playing games for hours, or endlessly scrolling through reels then they are wasting their precious time. They’re not using it for growth, and that becomes harmful.

As we all know, social media has two sides: one good and one bad. It depends on how you use it. If you're using social media to learn, trade, analyze data, or earn income, then you are using it in a productive way. In that case, spending time on social media is not a waste — it's actually valuable.

But there's also a downside to long usage — it can lead to eye problems. So, I would suggest wearing glasses or taking breaks to protect your eyes.

That’s all from my side. Use social media wisely.

Thank you!

Hello!

In my point of view, the impact of social networking sites makes our life so easy because nowadays people are busy in life for earning money.
We often do not get a chance to meet friends, relatives, but we can stay connected with our friends and family through social networking. So, according to me, it has a great impact on our lives.

Thank you.

Social media platforms offer a wide variety of solutions to real-world problems and often have negative side effects on the lives of people. We know that there are always two sides of a coin, that there will be positive as well as negative aspects.
Coming to the positive aspects, social media can be used to connect to people worldwide, experience culture, food, places, and news, but on the other hand, often fake news that is spread during a conflict in an area can lead to uncontrollable outbreaks and provide more harm to society and the economy. Any technology that humankind has developed has to be used judiciously and conscientiously to prevent the negative impacts affecting the lives of ordinary people.

Hello friends.

I want to share my thoughts about the impact of social networking sites.

Before starting, we must know what social media networking. Yes, you get that right - these are YouTube, WhatsApp, and Facebook.

In my opinion, social media is all about how the person uses it. It is an excellent source to gain knowledge about anything in the universe. Nowadays, it plays a crucial role in business, connects people and their thoughts, and all the Essential events and news. But the dark side of this is addiction. Already, most of people have an addiction to something like alcohol or drugs, but the most common addiction which prevalent among us is social media. We do scrolling without our consciousness sometimes. In conclusion, the conscious use of social media for good is most welcome.

Thank you all for the opportunity.

There is a famous phrase, "Every coin has two sides, " and similarly, everything has two sides, such as good or bad.

If we talk about social networking sites, there are many pros and cons. If we discuss the benefits of using social media sites, there are many good aspects. For example, regarding education: as we know, earlier, getting an education for everyone was not easy, but now we can see the impact of the changes social media has brought around us. Let's talk about another topic, getting information. Earlier, it was not easy to get news quickly, but now, within a second, we can get news with the help of social media sites. Also, if we delve deeper into this matter, earlier, news used to be controlled by news channels, who decided which type of news had to surface. But now, in the age of social media, we can see every type/aspect of the news/information. So, the conclusion is that, in this age of social media, everything is open. Earlier, there was no platform for the common person to raise their voice, but in this social media age, common people are getting an independent platform, and they are raising their voices too.

Also, we can earn money using social media sites. So, we can notice here that there are multiple examples of how social sites are useful for us.

Now, let's turn to discuss the negative impacts of social media sites:

Most social media sites are a privacy nightmare. They sell the data of users without user consent.

Nowadays, most people are wasting their precious time on social media just by scrolling. If we talk about youngsters, they are addicted to social media (as we know that social sites are addictive; algorithms made them addictive). They are spending time on social media without any specific reason. Because of these sites, students are also unable to control their attention while studying. This is becoming a very bad thing for youngsters and children, and there are also many health diseases because of this.

In essence, social media is a powerful tool with immense potential for good, but its unchecked use and inherent design flaws also present considerable risks. The key lies in understanding both sides and striving for a balanced and mindful approach to its integration into our lives.

My thoughts on social networking sites has both positive as well as negative because anything in this planet has both pros and cons so.

Positive is about we can connect and build socially with different kinds of people and awareness about what is happening in the world like posting news, and all.

So, talking about negative kids in this generation have been using social media instead of studying their parents promised them to buy mobile phones if they score good marks in the exams, and also people post their pictures on social media like Instagram, Facebook which will impact.

My opinion impact of social media is positive and negative.
In a positive way on social media to gain knowledge and improve skills. To interact with the world world people. And on social media is useful for the business and publicity for their product. Sharing the ideas and memories with another whole world of people.

Negatively on social media, terrorism and hackers occur. Many people post the photo on social media to show off and for publicity by continuously checking their likes and comments.

My opinion is impact of social media it depends how we use.

Hello, I'm Aliya.

Nowadays social media is a hot top for public. I think in many cases it very useful for public like news, contacts between relations, making new relations through public media, and etc.

Positivity is less than negativity in social media. Most people use it in the wrong cases.

People have to be aware of all the things which are done through social media.

According to me, social media is a good source of networking it helps us to get connected with people all over the world, it helps us to interact and touch with new relations, improve communication, it helps us to gain knowledge and share memories to everybody we want to share with.

Social media is helping us in all our needs in technology like online shopping, impormation on paticular topic for projects and to get general knowledge.

So, their is a positive impact of social networking sites if we use it accordingly. There are my disadvantages too if we use it in that way, but by using it in a good way helps us to have a good future and a good network all over the world.
