IS SOCIAL MEDIA GOOD FOR YOU?

Elena: Hello, my name is Elena. I'm 14 years old and I'm from Ruse in Bulgaria. My question is,
what are the benefits of social media? This question is important to me because a lot of people
consider social media unhealthy.

Joe: We see it all the time. There's loads of stories around about how bad social media is for us
and how large parts of our lives are in the hands of a few massive companies.

I'm Cybersecurity Reporter at the BBC, which means that a big part of my job is holding these big
companies to account. I spend a lot of time looking at the negative sides of social media and I
pretty much take the positives for granted. So getting this question is actually really good for me
because it can remind me of all the good things that have come about since social media was
invented.

I grew up in a time before social media. Not quite that long ago! We still had mobile phones and
the internet, but it wasn't quite like it is now. Everything was much slower and much more difficult.
People still mainly communicated by phone call, which means that if you made plans, you had to
stick to them. Or you could leave your mate waiting in the rain.

And now we're more connected than ever. Most of us are spending time every day with our friends
online and sharing our lives with people across the world. If you're feeling isolated or lonely or if
you feel like there's something you need help with, you can find a community through social media
who can share their experiences and help you out. All this communication can lead to a greater
understanding of each other and also bring some real change. It's hard to imagine something like
the climate strike movement spreading as far or as fast as it has, without social media. It helped
amplify the voice of a 15-year-old activist in Sweden, so she's been heard around the world. And
there are some pretty direct benefits too.

1
Tools have been made that encourage people to make the world around them better, whether that's
by giving money, telling your friends and family you're safe or by donating blood. In fact, this
alone has led to more than 50 million people becoming blood donors around the world, literally
life savers.

So, there really are some great benefits to social media but it's still really new. These apps are
emerging technologies and when things affect the way that we live and work and do things as
much as social media has, it takes a long time to work out what the knock-on effects could be. It's
probably up to the next generation to work through some of these problems and hopefully, if they
do a good job, we'll be talking a lot more about the positive sides of social media in the future.
