Impact of Social Networking Sites

Hello Everyone,

There are several social networking sites where some are bad while others are good, where we can learn and grow, and some where we entertain ourselves while watching them. There are always two sides to a coin; we have to think about which one is right and which one is wrong. It all depends on us.

Social media is beneficial, as we get a lot of content on various topics, clear doubts, and address concerns, especially for introverts, who hesitate to discuss anything, so they can gain better knowledge about what they want.

But due to much dependence, people lose confidence and thinking power; as all are aware, to put any doubt or problem to get a solution, they’re not able to use their own mind, which impacts the future, as social media is not with us in some situations or phases.

In my point of view, Social media was introduced for good things to enhance our society and our knowledge but that was used in nowadays for most of dangerous an bad things only, at the same time, Many of them have awareness about the social media but the gadgets are producing continuously with advanced features.

Hi everyone, this is Shruthi.

I would like to add my view on social media.

Everything is bound to two things those are nothing but advantage and disadvantages. There is no such thing as only having advantages; life is good and disadvantages.

Nowadays, social media has become part of our life; we are all fully dependent on it, and we cannot survive without our mobile even for an hour.

But everything is in our hands, so we need to use it properly or else we need to know how to use it.

There are such things about social media where it is a major part of our lives.

So just need to use it properly, as we know from the beginning of the day to the end of the day, we use social media for any purpose.

Hi, I am Dolly,

I have a few thoughts to share in this topic, like we all know, nowadays social media is playing a key role in one's life. So, first of all, we will have to accept the fact that yes, social networking does have some of the beneficial points but at the same time we all know every coin has two faces like that social media too has another face, which is quite dark and one should be aware of that, like online scams are going on, there we have so many websites which try to invade our personal things, and I think we should be aware of the online stalker as well.

But apart from the negative side, it has benefits like we can learn whatever we want to learn; there is a bulk of resources available which, if we utilise wisely, then we are going to save our time and money as well. We know that social media pays some amount of money to the creators, so we can use that as a side hustle too.

Well, I believe everything has its pros and cons and so does social media. Social media is a very good platform to connect with people across the globe and gain as much knowledge as possible. It is the earning source for various individuals and businesses.

Talking about the cons, social media is impacting our lives in a negative way by affecting our mental and physical health. Youngsters and adults as well consider scrolling on media rather than utilizing that time in engaging in physical and mental activities which are beneficial.

I want to say that it also depends on the person who has access to these sites. As it is well said that you reap what you sow. And same applies to the usage of social media.

Hello Everyone. !

Thank you for giving me a chance to initiate on impact of social networking.

Nowadays students are wasting time on social media every student was scrolling and wasting their time, That is why social media is one side is bad and another side is good because some students improve their knowledge on social media.

For example, YouTube is helpful for everyone to learn something and to face any problems after watching some content on that problem it will solve easily ourself in the youtube.

For example, LinkedIn is useful for many students because in a platform to communicate with every professional student, To improve your knowledge and to find a suitable job for us, So, social media is helpful only who want to grow a career.

I think that social media its pros and cons also.

In pros, it is that we know what is happening in the world. Through that platform, we get knowledge and good things in our behavior. Like cons are that this social media is used for rumors, and fake information, and criminals are increasingly using this social media platform. Lastly it will depend on what way we utilise social media.

Good morning/Good afternoon everyone my name is Vaishnavi Nawalkar.

According to me, social media has its pros and cons. It depends on you how use it. Some of useful content from social media gets easily available on social media platforms after how people use it depends. On social media, information is available but not sure it's authentic. Student gets lots of information from social media for study and get some knowledge.
