Impact of Social Networking Sites

Hi everyone,

Every coin has two sides, the same way our users on social media define whether it is a boon or a curse. If we use social media correctly, then it's a great app for communicating with our friends but overdoes of everything is bad. Like earlier if anything used to happen we would probably not know it but in today's time, social media is so fast that it brings every important incident to our view. Many people use it for building their business, and promoting their products as it serves as a great medium to target the audience, but also sometimes people get so involved in social media that for them social media is their only life and they start maintaining distance from family and friends. Chatting with friends has nowadays taken place of long discussions which we used to have with our friends when we met them. Social media life is a fairy tale life, we sometimes feel whatever is happening on social media is the only truth and sometimes we get depressed that everyone else is living a good life and only I am the one who is suffering, but it also depends on the way we use it.

Hello everyone.

Talking about the impact of social networking sites depends upon how an individual makes the best use of it everything has its pros and cons there should be a limited age to which a person can join social networking sites.

For example: for Instagram, there is an age limit to join ie 13 years but it has to be strictly implemented and made it till age 18 is considered for the development of mind maturity by doing this we can reduce online harassment cases of minors, money theft or other many cyber scams. At the same time, not all things are dark here we can learn about anything and everything just by a click sitting in one place and becoming knowledgeable there was recent news on how economically underprivileged who couldn't afford to take coaching for competitive exams like IAS took the help of online free tutorials available on youtube and cracked it in Andhra Pradesh as all it needed was mobile data and a phone which is comparatively cheaper than coaching class fees so by coating these 2 examples we can say that its up to an individual how he/she makes use of it.

Hi everyone,

Today, we discuss the impact of social media.

Social media is a very big platform. If we talk about the positive and negative impact of social media, is totally depends on you. If you use in the right direction of social media then you feel social media has only a positive impact. And if you use it in a negative way that time, social media has only a negative impcat.

If we talk about the positive impact of social media. Through social media, with just one click, we can access information about the world. And also through social media, manage the relationship and old friends. As we already know in our family, if any person goes outside to do a job that time we can manage our information using social media. And do not feel alone. And this time, we can see through social media that many people earn money by making blogs and other social media tools.

Now, if we talk about the negative impact of social media is that many children are playing online games, that gives us to depression, anxiety and time loss. And after a long time, it is very difficult to get out of this.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, social media has the greatest advantages when it compared to disadvantages if we use it in good ways.

By using social media nowadays everyone is getting a lot of information very quickly and it is easily reachable to everyone. Now social media is helpful for a lot of youngsters to show their passion to the world. By using this platform the talented guy can be recognized easily by the people. Getting the right job to the right person is nowadays very easy. Because everyone is able to communicate directly with the company manager or some authorized person by communicating with them, they can easily get an opportunity to get the job.

It also has some disadvantages. Many people are using social media in a wrongful way by sharing some privacy with others. It leads to creating a lot of problems and posting some unwanted content on social media which will lead children to think about that in mind.

Finally, I conclude that if we use social media platforms for good purposes definitely it will be very much helpful for career growth and development.

Hello everyone.

My name is Laxmipriya Moharana.

Thank you for giving me a chance to initiate the discussion. Today's topic is "Impact of social networking". In my opinion, everything has its pros and cons. So depends on how we use social networking. There are many merits of social media.

Business sector- whenever a business man wants to do business but the same kind of product is available in the market in plenty. At that time whenever that business would know his brand so. He will give the advertisement through social media.

Social media is used for marketing purposes. Due to more distance from our relatives. Through social networking, we can talk and share our thoughts to them.

Due to social networking, we can get grocery products without extra work.

But there are many cons. Through social networking, most of the thieves are collecting data of the person. And they make many crimes. And Most of the time, use the phone so such a way that students are wasting their time.

There is one way to avoid the unnecessary use of phones, so self-control yourself.

Thank you all.

Hello,

There are always two sides to things.

One is positive, and the other is negative.
Firstly, talking about positive impacts, we can get so much information that can be helpful for academics or for research. We can earn and get jobs. We can show our presence and share our thoughts. We can communicate with people easily. We can increase our presence on e-commerce business platforms, which has opened up so many opportunities for small businesses to make their businesses successful. 

Now talking about negative impacts, one major impact is 'fraud'. People can get into fraud activities such as bank fraud, purchasing a TV, and getting just a box. They can also get cheated by other people on social media in some way, such as relationships.
Another drawback is that people now a days are getting too influenced by things happening on social networking platforms, so they do activities that are not necessary and also harmful. They are also spending a lot of their time on social networking platforms, so they become inactive in other activities and think that I will do it later.

I think social media helps in so many aspects like gaining knowledge, connecting people from different places, exchange of thoughts, sharing information and news and most importantly it provides a platform to represent one's ideas and views on a certain or specific action taken place or done by government or any other body at various levels.

Another point I want to add is that yes it is true that it totally depends on the user, that which aspect of social media is he/she use but very often people knowingly or unknowingly use it for bad purposes and fall into the dark side of the internet, for example; children, they usually fall in various internet traps and destroy their life as we have seen in blue whale game which eventually the government banned. So we must guide our young generation about the positive use of social sites and networking, how to take benefits from them and grow themselves, what are the pros and cons of social sites and how to protect oneself to fall into various traps on the internet. So to use social media or social networking one must be aware.

There two sides of Social networking sites:

It includes its pros as well as its cons. Nowadays almost everybody is on social media. It can create a positive or negative for individuals. If we talk about the positive it is a source of entertainment, People can relax their selves by watching very relatable reels or watching their loved ones dance or show their talent on the platform. But it can be more dangerous if we keep scrolling through our reels for hours there is no logic to spend your time or waste your time on a site which is not even beneficial. It is just a source of entertainment.

We take WhatsApp as an example it is a chatting app or site, that consists of limitations as well as entertainment, If you are feeling bored you can view the status of your known people, and you can upload a status also. The main motive is to communicate with the people as easily as it is possible here. The status can be uploaded for 24 hours only after that it will be removed by default. So, these are the restrictions it causes which can be taken as a positive sign.

Hi, Hello.

In my point of view, social media has both advantages and disadvantages.

The main advantage is nowadays, we are using it everywhere across the world. We can learn in an easy & the efficient manner in a tricky way like solving a problem there are many ways to do in different steps within a given time to study purpose, locating different areas when we are in an unknown place or outside to reach the destination in short way.

To book movie tickets, marketing to earn money through youtube and business purposes etc. Mostly, knowing our locality news what happening around across different countries & quickly. & trend.

The main disadvantage is that we become addicted to reels most of the time gets wasted, creating additional fake accounts & not concentrating much in studies as well & unnecessary fake message scams (cheating), over trolls, Hacking our Bank Accounts, personal details & hated comments on some unknown persons.

Totally it, Depends on how we utilize in good way of social networking sites. We should be careful.

Hello everyone.

My opinion on social networking sites is that it has both negative and Positive impact on the people. Some people may use it properly to gain knowledge or gather more information at a fingertip, and some may use it to earn money as most of the small ventures are getting popular through social media and many can borrow or share their ideas in social media which will be helpful to other people who are interested in that particular topic.

People can connect to their loved ones and friends through social media which will reduce stress and give a positive vibe for them when they are far away.

Other side it also affects many people as their whole day is just on scrolling which will be a part of their daily activities, as everyone in the early morning just they wake up and check their mobiles, as they think it is more important than their health.

So, I will say that social networking sites have both pros and cons but one can achieve anything through how intensely they use whether for good or bad it depends on the people who use them.
