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.

Good morning to all the panel members. My name is Shanaya, and I would like to start the group discussion, so the topic given to us for the GD is the impact of social media sites.

This topic is of current relevance in my opinion, social media really plays an important role in our daily lives and is responsible for shaping a lot of younger minds. Since the emergence of social media through Instagram, Facebook, youtube, etc there has been alarming growth in the technology field. Like any other thing, it has its own pros and cons.

Talking about the brighter side of social media, I feel it's really relevant in connecting people all around the world within a single tap. It helps in understanding social issues. Government schemes, current trends and people's reactions to those issues, social media creates a platform where people sharing the same ideology connect together and form a community.

Apart from that, social media is actively used by small brands and startups for showcasing their work and talent and gaining customers through it. It also serves as an earning aid for content creators through paid promotion of a certain product, through review and also to show their talents.

Telegram and YouTube, which are widely used social networking app used by students to get access to online courses, educational content, mentors and students for free. All these are pioneers for the development of an individual and have a broader aspect of understanding.

LinkedIn, which is the most used platform for people seeking job opportunity our trying to create a good chain or contact with people who work in different companies, freshers use this as a tool get to know about the job vacancies and recruitment process.

During the global pandemic in the year 2020, people actively used social media as the only form of connecting with people.

As the younger generation tends to use social media more than newspapers and articles, informational videos and reels help them to understand the current scenario of their country or their area at ease.

It's really a powerful tool for spreading awareness and ideas.

Even though it has so many positive facts, we cannot deny that certain factors like doom scrolling through these sites and using it for entertainment purposes rather than for something beneficial wastes our time and distract people from their work and decrease their efficiency, as social media addiction has become a real issue.

Excessive use or dependency on those sites lowers out self esteem, increases tension, anxiety, depression and constant comparison with what we see on social media.

Also, cyberbullying and cybercrime are also a potential threat that we are facing today, as all our information is present on social media, which could be accessed by hackers, who could be easily used for any purpose include blackmail, so we always stay at the verge of risk of our data being leaked.

So. I would like to conclude this by saying that the impact of social media on us highly depends on how we use this tool, as it has its own perks in the development of educational, content creation, social awareness, business, entertainment and professional career.

And instead of wasting time on unnecessary content if we use it for our growth, development and knowing about various aspects of the world, then no doubt there would be no other alternative to replace it.

Social media sites are made for connecting people to their friends and relatives over the internet. Social media is good for making connections, news, and job updates. Although social media is addictive in nature, using social media for a long time can ruin mental health,and also it affects consistency in doing any work. Social media platforms could be used for study and for working professionals ,and also it could be used for entertainment purposes, but neutral use of social sites will maintain positive aspects of social media.

In social networking sites, we can't directly say their impacts because social media having advantage as well as disadvantages.
First, I start with advantages social media helps to connect with friends and family members who are living far from us and it is help in education because nowadays online education having high demand and helps in marketing, hiring for jobs and also it is one of the way to earning money by making videos or reels and social media also helps in exploring the ideas or thought to all our word these are infinite benefits of social networking.

Now, I am going to share some thoughts about disadvantages, like some peoples are misused the social media by uploading MMS footage, which is not good for those student having age of 18, and also hacking is a concern, and young people are using too much social media this not good for their own health.

Hello everyone!

I'm Shreya.

In my opinion, social media has its good and bad sides. Also, we use social media for study, content, online shopping, to talk with cousins, and make good bonds with other people in this thing I think social media has a good site.

But when I see scams, mms, someone's bad photos, blackmail from another contact number, also use the wrong mindset in these cases.

I think social media has a bad site.

So, the opinion is ours,

Everything depends on us. I wish everyone would use social media for the good path.

Social networking sites have become an important part of our daily lives. They help people stay connected, share information, and build professional networks.

Platforms like LinkedIn help students find jobs, while others help in learning and awareness.

However, excessive use of social networking sites can lead to time wastage, distraction, privacy issues, and mental stress. Fake news and cyberbullying are also major concerns.

Therefore, social networking sites are useful if used in a balanced and responsible way. They should be used as a tool for learning, communication, and career growth rather than addiction.

In conclusion, social networking sites have both positive and negative impacts, and the impact depends on how we use them.

Social Media is a platform where we can engage with people across the world. This also helps us connect with famous people and see their lifestyle. Social Media is also a deep ocean of content and knowledge.

But there are some disadvantages of social media, too. People keep scrolling reels and posts on social media, which hampers their productivity, and instead of meeting in person, they feel easier to connect through social media, which reduces physical interactions.

Social media can impact everyone's life. It is a boon when you are using for to learn new things. Social media is an ocean of data and knowledge. There is lot of people who depend on social media for jobs. Social media can connect people across the world. It can create many job opportunities like work from home, online teaching, etc.

Social media is the biggest entertainment platform. It makes people lazier. It has vulgar content which effects the students having age under 18. Personal data can be hacked and misused.
