TOPIC: THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media is paramount importance of our life today. It is certainly true that today social
media has become a popular way to communicate among people. Now, I will discuss the
upsides and downsides of communicating via technology.

On the one hand, there are several reasons to believe social media is beneficial. Firstly,
people easily gain information from numerous websites which useful for all of us. with the
help of this social media apps we actually can get any sort of information, have any doubts on
a certain topic. By search on YouTube, you can get thousands of videos on that topic and
thousand of teachers teaching you about that topics. Basically, during the pandemic, I know
how important social media was. It also help us watch many fascinating new videos, well-
known podcasts were made from a lot of influencers. Listen songs, play games, post a video,
do everything whenever you want. Thirdly, it can be not denied that social media can
showing your creativity. I mean you can make your own videos and post them on Youtube to
show your talent. You also can get money by posting them on this app. Last but not list, that
is connectivity. I mean we can talk with anyone through technology devices from many areas
on the earth. For example, we can study without go to class but we can get entire knowledge.
Moreover, you will be teach by a abroad teacher. In addition, you can make new friends all
these apps ( Facebook, Instagram, Whatapps…). This is the brighter site and the power of
social media.

However, everything that has its advantages also has its disadvantages, this is the rule of life.
Now let us take a look at the darker side. First, it is the fake news. How many times that you
come across fake news? A lot of times, right. Some people use social networks for bad
purpose such as offense some one or spread wrong information. Secondly, many people use
the internet for the purpose of misleading as game addiction, Facebook addiction or visit the
black sites, so it affected their health and life. Thirdly, it is time wastage for us. Students can
spend hours of their time on these social networking sites. By spending too much time
students get low marks in exams. Students also get into wrong habits and their personality
changes after using social sites. Another problem concerning with social media is the
invasion of privacy.

In conclusion, social network is beneficial when you make use of it. I suggest that you take
responsibility for what you do and protect your privacy. Be careful with what you post and
treat others as if you were in a face-to-face situation.
