Also, there are various rural areas where communication technology have not been reached yet. People from different age-group are using social media daily resulting the global difference at mere.
There are many benefits of this development. Today, any global news can be known within minutes and we can get connected with our dear ones whenever desired. Youngsters and many adults are leaving countries like Nepal for study and working purpose and are moving to foreign nations. If there have not been internet medium, it would have been very difficult to get connected with them. Video-chatting, voice messaging, phone calls are popular nowadays. We can get updated about any crisis, mass-movements, wars happening all around from our home. Any searches about any people in online media or any news are just about finger tips away.
Despite all of these, there are also many disadvantages that we are facing now. Children and adults are deeply into internet services that they have lost all their interest in extra-curricular activities. Children play their games and watch their interests in mobile phones and television whilst adults are busy scrolling newsfeed and uploading their photos/videos. Cyber crimes and bullying are in increasing trend.
I believe there are outmost advantages than cons of using social media. To this date, people are earning much through uploading their photos and videos in this platform. This service have minimize distance. My brother lives in Australia whereas I live here in Nepal with my family. But we get connected daily via phone calls. No matter, miles away, we can maintain our relationship and feel close together.
