Because of social
media, we are just a text away from friends and family, but, yet we’re so
distant. Social media has impacted our society both positively and negatively.
A few years ago, social media did not have this much impact on our society.
Social networking was only used for the purpose of business and marking. Very
little advertising was even done on the network. But with the creation of
smartphones and the easy access to the internet, social networking has boomed. Now
a day, we have dedicated our whole lives to social media. We have more than just
adapted to this lifestyle that did not exist decays ago; it’s a part of our
daily lives. For some people, it can even be said that without social
networking, they don’t have a life. And that is the sad part about it. We live
now in a society that follows the trend of daily posts, likes, re-tweets, and
shares. It’s like a roller coaster, there’s never an end to this. It’s very
rare now to see people sitting and actually have a nice conversation without
pulling out some type of technology. It’s more than a distraction or a habit.
Social media is a new drug that is more addicting and more dangerous than the
common known drugs. And now our youth are exposed to it so early.
Just like any other
arguments, social media has its pros too. Life is more efficient with the use
of social networking. Businesses have more to offer since they can track the
reviews of their products what the consumers like. Lost friend can be found
through the social networking. Anything that happens around the world can be
known in minutes.
It is obvious that our
society cannot function anymore without social media, but we should not enslave
ourselves to it either.
