Essence of Social Media

What is the main purpose of social media? It has good or bad effect to the life of
everyone? Does it really help our world to be a better place to live in? There’s a lot of
questions coming into our mind that needs an acceptable answer why is it people got hooked
in using of social media,browsing online,playing games online etc. Now that we are in a
modern world is it relevant to go with the flow or let social media decide our life? As we can
see we are all dependent to our phones,computers or other gadgets. We didn’t notice that we
almost forgotten the culture or traditions that our ancestors teach us because social media
changing us step by step but it is the social media or us?

Social Media is a websites and applications that enable users to put, create and share
content or to participate in social networking. It is where you tend to communicate others, get
new informations and ideas, and so on and so fort. It is made to help people communicate or
negotiate easily.There’s a lot of prominent examples of social media that people mostly used
like Facebook,Twitter,Instagram,Snapchat and etc. Even 2 or 3 years old child know how to
manipulate social media. It is easy to spread news but as social media being prominent fake
news also being spread that leads to false acussation,false idea and especially bullying. We
think that everything posted to different social media site is correct and we tend to believe
about it. For those who are working abroad it is very convient to have social media to easily
communicate to their love ones unlike if you sent a mail it takes months before they read your
letter. So at some point social media has a contribution to us.

It is not bad to use social media but you must know to use it moderately. It is important
to manage your time in using it. Value your family time,talk to each other personally not in
groupchats or what. Show them your love by cleaning the house,cooking food for the family,
and taking care of them not in the way you post to any social media site that you love them so
much but you’re not showing it personally you are just posting it for likes,sympathy or you are
just asking for attention? Well, wake up don’t let social media manipulate you get out from
your comfort zone there’s a lot of beautiful things in the world that social media can’t give you.
You can explore everything without social media. Don’t depend on things that world have, it is
just temporary. Live your life to the fullest. Know your limitations it is not bad to go with the
bandwagon but also learn to look back on things you use to be. It is important to know first
everything for you to understand and be well knowledgeable about it.
