Social
media plays an enormous role in the present-day world. It allows us to discover
and learn new information, share ideas and interact with people all over the
world. Social Media may include blogs, web pages, reviews, services and
more.
It
is seen that on an average majority of the people around spend 25%of their time
on social media, which in turn shows how much relevant and popular the media
is. It has become an integral part of our lives, over 85% of the business are
on social media platforms for better marketing. Nearly 52% of businesses have
their social media platforms running over for more than 3years.
Social
media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Video calling apps have millions
of subscribers. It has not only made sharing of photos and videos easy to use
but also allowed businesses to flourish. It has thoroughly changed the concept
in the field of information and communication.
It has also made enterprising more rudimentary, many social campaigns and protests are accomplished by these platforms. Not only does it help in building up the future, but it also has its own disadvantages.
There
are people who are threatened by the media. It all depends on the people who
use this. So using media platforms for sharing and interacting can definitely
be a good idea but at the same time if used for demonic purposes it can cause
trouble.
It
moreover takes away a lot of our precious time. However, as a whole, it has
both pros as well as cons. Like T.S Eliot once said “Distraction from direction
by distraction.”, using wisely is the only way to get over the impediments.
