Have you ever considered how social media has altered the method in which we communicate? In today's society, social media has surpassed all other modes of communication as the major mode of exchange. We can exchange our views, ideas, news, information, and documents, among other things, through social media.
This is @senyoritakayzee , and you are here once again to witness another topic, which talks about some of the things that are considered benefits and drawbacks of social media, just right here in today's episode of Senyoritalks.
As described by the Oxford Dictionary, social media is a relationship that exists between a network and individuals. Web sites for social networking and microblogging, for example, are relatively widespread and widely utilized examples of social media platforms. There are numerous advantages to utilizing social media.
To begin, it is a "wonderful device for education," since students may educate themselves by utilizing social media. Second, social media allows us to become more socially aware of the issues that are affecting people all over the world. Third, you can offer assistance and guidance to others, and finally, it helps to build our relationships with our loved ones. Because of social media, distance is no longer an impediment to communication.
Most of us, on the other hand, are solely concerned with the positive aspects of social media and do not consider its negative aspects. "Cyberbullying" is one of the disadvantages of using social media. Cyberbullying is defined as the act of uploading or spreading negative, harmful, or fraudulent content about another person with the intent of causing depression or social anxiety. Social media also invades your privacy by disclosing your personal information, and it can also lead to addiction.
Addiction to social media can cause distraction from studies and physical activities, as well as a decrease in your ability to concentrate and think clearly. In a nutshell, social media has both advantages and drawbacks. As a result, we must be aware of both the positive and negative effects of social media in order to make an informed decision for ourselves.
Online learning encourages students to spend more time with their devices or with the many technologies that are available to them, which allows them to be more active on social media platforms. As we all know, and as some of the points above have demonstrated, there are advantages and disadvantages to using social media. Yes, these advantages are really beneficial during these times, as they allow the work to be completed more efficiently and quickly than usual. Social media is no longer just for recreational purposes; it is now being used for advertising, promotion, journalism, advocacy, and even education. However, when it is employed in an incorrect or unwelcome manner, it has negative consequences.
Let's educate ourselves and become familiar with the many social media platforms available today. Let us be mindful that not everything we see is real or factual; instead, we should learn to verify the information to determine whether it is dependable or not. Let's raise awareness about these many social media networks and teach them proper netiquette.

Social media could be the best, at the same time, the worst advent that technology has made. Many toxic culture have been created which led to worsened discrimination, racism, and suicidal cases. I hope netiquette will be known by many in order to reap the benefits that social media is willing to offer to us.
