Social Media is the new wave in the 21st century, it has pro’s and con’s which I agree with; that the first article elaborated on. Like how, it’s an everyday routine activity used to communicate and stay connected with friends and family from all corners of the world, which is efficient and quick. Social media allows everyone to share photos, videos, ideas, engage in important debates, and get information about your surroundings/community.
while on the other hand social media, also gives away the meaning of privacy. By displaying everything about your life it is very easy for individuals to know what’s going on in your private settings. Individuals know your whereabouts easier which can bring self endangerment. I also feel like social media has replaced outdoor activities, such as tennis, basket ball, football and more, kids are not really interested in extra curricular activities compared to years ago. They prefer playing indoor games which have social media channels incorporated in them such as snap chat, Instagram, Facebook and twitter. In addition, these social media platforms also cause individuals to fall into depression by observing and comparing one’s lifestyle to theirs. One might not get as much likes on a picture compared to another which can cause low self-esteem.
Personally, social media has not affected me negatively. I feel like social media gives my generation a platform for us to display our talents and interest to world, which can later on give us opportunities.
