The Impact of Social Media
Now with the online school lifestyle, everyone started using more of their electronics and used more of social media. What exactly is this social media? It has it's own pros and cons, the pros are that, you are able to meet more people. Find your old friends. Make online friends, seems like a perfect place to socialize but if you dig deeper. There are these hackers and crackers, either trying to hack into your account or trying to fake your account....well let's put aside this for now, what other cons are there? Your time being wasted Is the second con. When you scroll through the hundreds of post which have millions of likes, and which seem very very interesting, but after sometime you stop and realize it's been 3 hours. Every social media algorithm is created with an aim to keep the user on the platform as long as possible. Which means the social media platforms wants you to waste your time looking at the posts for hours along. This is clearly not healthy. And another thing is our mental well being. Looking at these posts and see these have a million likes, versus our posts, which we put a lot of effort into barely get any views. This is making us insecure. We may think what's wrong with us, this is usually happening to young adults and teenagers. Well because of all this should we stop using social media altogether? Well the answer is no. We can use social media but only to a limit and not to the point where it becomes an addiction. I know this blog more of cons but let's see more of the pros in the next blog. Have a great day or night.
