Social media, a widely popular platform that is used by many people all around the world for communication and for gaining necessary information has proven to be quite useful. Although it is non-arguable that social media has brought negative impacts to the society in form of cyberbullying and has lessened in-person connections, it also has its benefits. I think that the positive aspects outweigh the negative ones in terms of social media.
Through social media, it has been easier for people to talk with one another and has opened up great a resource center for people to research their desired pursuits. Despite the long distance between people, social media has been a messenger for relaying conversation and has made contacting each other very easy which was not achievable before. Nowadays, many people have more online friends than real-life friends, with this, has its risks. For example, people on the internet might not be who they are claiming to be. Cyberbullying, impersonation, and scams are some of the disadvantages of social media.
Now, people reach out more to social media for any sort of information or knowledge they wish to acquire. Since social media has created itself to be an easy-access site where almost anyone can use it for their needs, people are leaning more toward it. A single site has created a huge rave from people meeting all of their wishes while being entertaining. This level of creativity has reached a heightened place which was not achievable in the past.
In summary, although social also has negativity to it, looking at the bright side, it has created a huge platform for all people to voice out their creativity and surge their curiosity.
