Impacts of Social Media in Real Life We all know the endless benefits of the Internet. It is an amazing invention and like many inventions in life, it has pros and cons and it is always up to the person to use this technology in a positive way. In this essay I will talk about the negative ones with special focus on social media because it is ruining most people's lives and could be a complete waste of time if not used properly. Let's start by highlighting the benefits of the Internet and social media. It is true that this technology offers a wealth of information, opening the world to an ever-increasing number of people who share the activities of daily life, connects millions of people across kilometers and cultures, unites people with common interests and offers them continuous updates and news about what is happening in society. With the Internet we can make new friends, get different opinions on topics such as surveys, discuss educational topics including career and college planning, we can make ourselves known, advertise our brand and even we could blog about our opinions to express ourselves in a non-violent way . Additionally, some people use it at work, host online meetings, or run events. Last but not least, studies show that most Americans have received help with important life problems, such as changing jobs, finding a new place to live, buying a car, and caring for someone who is sick. For example, imagine that one of your family members just got married and sent you an invitation via Facebook, or you didn't have time to call your friend on his birthday, so you simply leave him a message on his phone. own profile. These are all examples of a positive impact. As a result, social media has proven to be essential in short… middle of paper… any couple addicted to Facebook faces conflicts with their Facebook activities and subsequently files for divorce. According to a recent study, about a third of divorce filings in recent years included the word "Facebook." The extra information found on Facebook is used as evidence to complete the divorce process. All in all, if there were no social media today, I don't know what the world would be like. We're in it every day, everyone is involved in one way or another, and I think it's something that people have to deal with even if they don't like it. In my humble opinion, social media is fine up to a point, as long as there is a limit to everything. On the other hand, with any entertainment there is always a point where it can go wrong. However, it simply puts the responsibility back on the user who should use it carefully. So please limit it!
