Impact of Social Networking Sites

Good evening, everyone. I am Vivek Maina.

I believe that social media has two sides, both positive and negative, and it depends on us how we utilise it.

On the positive side, when we feel low or stressed, we can watch motivational or entertaining videos that help refresh our minds. Social media is also a powerful tool for gathering information. In the past, people had to search through many books to clear their doubts, but nowadays we can find answers instantly with just a click. Moreover, social media has created new job opportunities such as blogging, digital marketing, advertising, podcasting, and even teaching online. It has become a platform for people to showcase their knowledge and talents.

On the other hand, if misused, social media can have negative impacts. Many people waste hours scrolling reels, playing online games, or watching movies. This habit can lead to a loss of productivity, and in some cases, it may even cause stress, anxiety, or depression.

Therefore, social media is like a coin with two sides. It is up to us to use it wisely for learning, growth, and opportunities, rather than letting it control our time and health.

Good morning everyone.

My name is Vaibhav, I would like to take the opportunity to begin with our discussion, so our topic for discussion is the impact of social media on society, in my opinion, the given topic is of current relevance. Let's brief the topic, for the next 10 to 20 minutes we should convey our thoughts, which may be advantages or disadvantages of the same.

I'll begin with a discussion, in my perspective.

Initially let's consider some advantages of social media, So if any incident happens in society, that incident gets scattered in seconds around the world, and everyone becomes aware of it, it's a positive side of social media, but the other part is, if any incident happen, some individual who don't have proper understanding of the incident, they start sharing the thing the way they understand, due to this many Miss conceptions are gather together in the society, as a result of which wrong messages are got shared.

Now let's take one more drawback of social media, everyone knows how to use social media to travel on social media, and we don't need to do any physical activities, which in turn results in major physical issues.

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, the social site itself cannot be considered positive or negative as it solely depends on the user who is accessing it.

Social media if used the optimal way it can be the greatest tool for learning new things and connecting with people for example during the pandemic social media helped us to discover ourselves, and our passion and provide us the time to connect with our loved ones and get updates on the current happening.

On the flip side if a person is just spending hours scrolling through content which has nothing to do with his goals and benefits he's just wasting his time and energy. Research has shown that people tend to compare their lives with others on social media where everyone just posts about their good times and achievements which leads to a major cause of depression. Considering the dopamine hits it gives it won't be wrong to consider social media as a DIGITAL CIGGERATE accessible anytime, anywhere. A recent survey concluded that people would rather spend time online than get out and actually connect with people which questions whether we are social animals or evolved to social media animals.

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,

Myself Usha, Today we are discussing about Social media Networking,

Social media has its pros and cons.

First of all, I want to talk about the pros of Social media networking, Networking itself means connecting among people like family, friends, etc.

It also helps us to gain knowledge and learn new skills, there are several free courses available on the Internet. We can also earn from social media by showcasing our talent and skills. We can also find jobs using social media and networking. We can also utilize social media platforms to spread awareness around the world about climate change, nature, social activities, etc.

On the other hand cons of social media, users' accounts can be easily hacked as most of the social media users are young stars, and most of the users lost their money from games and betting apps. These days most of the content available on social media has no limit on age consent it may affect young users in the wrong way.

At last I want to say is social media users have to limit their screen time and utilize it positively so that we can grow along with these innovations with a positive attitude.

Hi, I am Eshan Panwar.

I would say social networking works both ways for us and it's upon the Ultimate user of it how we want to use it.

If we see the impact which this creates is we can connect with people far from us, knowledge is easily accessible to us, real-time update of events happening around the globe, for some who use it wisely has made it a source for their income through their various skill sets. These are a few to be mentioned from a lot of many more.

Now if we examine the impact it creates negatively is that it leads to more screen time for users which leads to eyesight issues, cyberbullying and harassment has increased considerable, privacy becomes a major concern as we are so comfortable in sharing in everything on social media that we forget that privacy is also something to be maintained and on the internet nothing comes with safety or a 100% assured of being safe, again these are dew drawbacks mentioned from a lot of many more.

So in the end social media is something created by humans and it lies in their hands only how to use it, make it useful or possibly make it the most toxic place to live in.

Good evening, everyone,

Let's start with today's top,c "Impact of Social Networking Sites". As every coin has two sides, social media has a positive and a negative role in our lives.

In positive role, we can connect to our beloved ones like parents, sisters, brothers, friends and teachers worldwide in one click through chatting, voice calls, video calls etc.

Social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc holds billions of users and contribute into this field. But at the same time, it has a negative role also.

Today's youth are inspired by influence and getting spoiled, they follow Gen style, forgetting their cultural roots, they keep posting their photos on social media for fake publicity and show off, and keep checking their notification to check about likes and comments, which results in bad performance in academics and sports.

In conclusion, I want to say that is the person who is responsible for using social media in positive way or negative way. If take care of all the things social media in a boon for us.

There is always pros and cons in every scenario.

Pros:

Suppose there is a huge following for a random person on social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram etc. What does it mean It is because for their talent and their skills. Many people get to know themselves and their hidden talents by using social networking platforms. Earning Money and enjoying the things while exploring. The best thing here is illiterate people can easily access applications and gain knowledge for better performance. People get connected by apps and make beautiful bonds and old friends will catch up and chat in online platforms. Promotions happening on social networks.

Cons:

* People are not interested in spending offline.
* Cybercrimes mostly happen through social networking sites like they are approaching through Instagram etc. And people are easily trapped in cyber things.
* Addicted to mobile.
* Spending most of the time on mobile by scrolling shorts.
* Going forward there are no relations just for likes and comments.
* Such comments sometimes hurt a lot.
* Fraud connections.
* Children also spend a lot of time on Applications.

Hello Everyone!

Yes, I agree with what you all have your views regarding social media.

Social media can be treated as a blessing or it can be seen as a curse for our lives. No doubt social media can be used in many positive ways like connecting to people and building good relations with people socially, learning new tools, technologies, and skills online with the help of various social media platforms.

But talking about the negative side of social media it gives a place to all the cyber criminals and unethical hackers to do frauds and scams. I would like to point out that one of the most commonly used fraud methods I have seen on Instagram is that scammers create fake accounts of people then they build connections with their near and dear ones through the account after that they ask for help from some money online and they assure that they will return it within a very short duration of time. As they receive the money scammers deactivate the account.

There are multiple other ways by which scams are done these days so it would be better if we all limit the use of social media to our important needs only.

Social networking sites have emerged as the most powerful networking medium among people these days. Nowadays people rely more on facebook, whatsapp, instagram more than face to face contact and interaction. But certainly there are some benefits which one can draw from these. It depends on how one uses these different apps. Some people use them for chatting, some use them for work purposes, some use them for posting photos and status updates and try to make themselves popular (fake popularity). But if seen from the other angle, it can be of immense help if we use it properly. Such as we can share some important documents, photos, keep contact through video calls when far away from family members. But the problem is that the young generation is getting trapped by these sites and are getting addicted. They are keeping on posting their photos all day long which are of no value. Instead if they use it for enhancing knowledge and educational purposes, then it will be of great help for them, for anyone. It is not about getting 1000 likes, it is about doing something which will add value to your life.
