Effects of Social Media
Back in the 19th century it took very little to have fun. Simple outdoor activities such as basketball,
football, and playing hide-and-seek brought happiness and joy across the world. Things changed drastically
once social media was presented to people. Social media has given people more ways to express
themselves, but has come at a high price. Although social media is the top form of communication even
above cell phones, it has brought many risks. The pros associated with social media are communication,
social networking, and freedom of speech while the cons are internet crime, loss of productivity in health
and education.
Social media has some great advantages. It allows for communication between long lost friends and can
connect you with business partners. Social sites let you express and communicate by exchanging messages
and comments. They also allow you to establish connections with family, friends, and acquaintances. For
example, someone moving from state to state or from country to another country can stay connected with
them without missing a beat through social media. Relationships and bonds can be strengthened, as a
result, because of it. In addition, it allows you to express how you are feeling and share your thoughts
publicly with others. Twitter is a big example of how they use the site to share their thoughts in a creative
way. Blogs started on social media allows for others to share their input on things and allow for
competitive discussions. The progression of communication can be achieved rapidly from various social
networking platforms. Social media helps in schooling a little. With social media, you can have better
structured study groups which will allow the students to share information quicker. Those schools also see
the impact social media have on education, so they implemented it into their system.
Opportunities such as connecting with business personnel can be achieved through social media. There are
numerous amounts of cases where someone became a millionaire because of social media. Social media
outlets like LinkedIn allow you to socially find and connect with successful entrepreneurs. The
personalization directly contributes immensely because social media allows you to view the company’s
website for deals, and it informs you on upcoming info about their products. It has become a free source of
publicity as ads pop up throughout the use of that site.
At present, social media give a lot of possibilities for users, starting from social networks up to geosocial
services. However, they have an exclusive influence on the formation of the consciousness of the youth,
their motives, valuable orientations, lifestyle, a choice of goals and ways of their realization, accompanying
the socialization process. The given essay will discuss how social media affects the youth of today.
Social media can have both positive and negative impact on the youth. Thus, they allow young people to
communicate with peers, relatives, friends, living in different cities and countries. Moreover, they are used
as an instrument for self-development because they offer a lot of services, like reading of books, studying
of foreign languages, photo and video hosting. Later, these activities can be discussed with the other
members of the Internet communities. Thus, social media offer unlimited interactive communications, a
direct participation of the youth in the generation and retranslation of media content, a high level of
process involvement, a maximum feedback speed and user personalization. On the other hand social
media has opened up floodgates of some of the very negative and destructive social evils. It has become a
handy tool for miscreants to defame people and spread venom in the society in different sphere of social
life.
To sum up, social media is really a boon if used responsibly otherwise it has huge potential to destroy
social fabrics if used wantonly.
