Impact of Social Networking Sites

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.

As we know, real-life platforms are useful or harmful; it depends on how they are used, such as social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Insta, WhatsApp, etc. As we know that we gain the knowledge from the social media what is happening in the society, city, state, country as by using the social media we can learn a lots of things such as related to the education, fashion, finance, it sector jobs, cooking the new receipe and many more things we can learn from the social media. And by using social media, we can understand how to interact with other people and help in the education sector by sending the notice to the student regarding the exam, events, festivals and also for summer vacations.

As we know, that the social media also helps in the hospital by sending messages to patients for regular checkups and it suggests that all people become healthy and fit in their lives.

It also helps in the family to those who live outside the country by sending the message that they can share their feelings and also tell them to take care of themselves. And many devices we can use these platforms such as TV, Mobile, Laptop, etc.

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.

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.

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.

We are here to discuss the impact of social media. Like every topic, social media has also pros and cons. Let me start with the pros.

Social media nowadays are creating many opportunities for people. Take the case of students. To get a pocket money or passive income, students nowadays choose content creation and posting it on social media and monetising their content. Business people are using it to create a network. Some people are creating their own personal brand through social media.

So many people are doomscrolling and wasting their time on unnecessary apps. This is the largest con of social media.

On one side, people are using it to generate income and on the other side, some people are using the same thing for no purpose. If we are using it for a good purpose, i.e to gain knowledge, to build our brand, to create a network, to share information, to communicate, then social media is something one cannot replace because of the wide opportunities it is giving. I forgot to say, social media has become a powerful platform for people to voice their opinions and react to various issues happening in society.

Hello Everyone!

Impact of Social Networking Sites on Society.

In my point of view, I will stand on both sides, even though social media has several advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages :
* Feel free to learn, and it is open source and can be accessed from anywhere.

*I can create more opportunities for a job for the unemployed or freshers.

*It is a platform like Instagram, Facebook, etc.

Nowadays, many people are struggling, so it makes them seek help from others.

The Disadvantages:

* In social networking, it may cause fake incidents to reach all the people very quickly.

* It can also be risky because watching social media, we are just scroll the video or any visual representation it can contain many emotional like happiness, anger, sadness, etc. It trains our dopamine to achieve success in a short period of time.

*It makes people lazy. In the past, they used to read books and search many places to learn things, but nowadays it has been reduced by social media.

* It also depends on how we approach it,

From my perspective, things may be good or bad. We have to utilise it as per our needs.

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.
