When Social Media Comes To Our Life

When Social media comes to our life


In the past, due to geographical distances and economic concerns, connections between people were limited. However, today there are countless social media that make it possible to form broad connections between people in this world.  A social network is made up of individuals that are connected to one another by a particular type of interdependency. It could be ideas, values, trade or anything. Social Media is the social interaction among people in which they create, share or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. There are a few popular social networking sites, like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, We chat and whatsapps. For me this new terminology always bring advantages and disadvantages when it’s has come into our life.



 First and foremost, Social networking websites gives people an opportunity to connect world-widely. No matter where country they live they still can make communication through social media. Through such sites, individuals make new friends or business connections or extend their personal base by connecting and interacting with friends of friends and so forth. Apart from that they can stay keep in touch each other even their separate into other places. Just like my condition, I’m still contact with my primary and secondary school friend through Facebook even we are not in same place anymore. With this technology we can exchange information and chatting like we use in past.  We can save money which also helps to reduce the demand of money from parents because we chat for free through this technology.



When Facebook and Twitter first came out, no one could have imagined this technology give great impact on marketing and directly reaching consumers for those who running the business. Through social media, people can start online business under their fingertips with only from site networking such as Twitter and Facebook without worried about business location, premises place and shop rent. Making money online is easy and convenient especially with the wide internet access today. The best part is it that people can spread the promotion about their product, service or idea through social networking profiles for free. People can either make it full-time job or a part-time job to earn extra income. Consumer also get benefit from social media as they do not needed to come out for shopping and allow them to reduce cost.



However, every advantage is always followed by disadvantage. Likewise the social media. Our technology powers increased, but the side effect and potential hazards also escalate. Media social allow risks of fraud or identity thief. An online social networking site is a place where a user can create a profile and build a personal network that connects the user to other users. User are volunteer to give their information about themselves in their social networks account. Whether you like it or not, the information you post on the Internet is available to almost anyone who is clever enough to access it. When your information is being thief it can cause serious problems for you and your credit report. Thieves can apply for a job with your name. They can open credit card accounts, apply for loans. And they can use your current credit cards to fund their lifestyle. It such a nightmare for those who being thief. The emotional stress and trauma of ID fraud may be one of the most devastating effects of identity theft.





I actually think Social media also is a real danger for my life. When I look back on how much time I wasted mindlessly surfing the internet ever since it came up.  Personally, we use social networks to seek information and communicate with people. But we never realized we have spent much time when we update our status and spending valuable time on games, chats or other non-related activities. Sometime, student also skip their homework just because concern to their account Facebook. It is also lead problem relationship between family members when they are less talk each other. Because they always busy with their Facebook, Twitter, Whatapps and so on, they don’t understand other family members problem.



Social media would be a social instrument of communication. Through this site we can connect with people from anywhere, look for information, running business and so on.  This technology give many benefit for us .However it also come with its disadvantage. It depend to us how we use it when we involve our life in this technology.
