The Impact of Social Media

Social media is a Boon or Curse? Well its difficult to give an answer but both positives & negatives are there.

Now a days we can hardly see a person who dont use Facebook, Twitter & Whatsapp. Right from IT professionals to Terrorist everyone is using. Initially people started using it for Timepass but now it has become essential. 

Many companies using whatsapp group to communicate with their employees, so they can talk about official things 24/7 with their employees. Is it a good sign? In companies view may be the answer is yes but not from the employees view. We are not machines to think only about work 24/7, as a matter of fact this applies to everything not only for work. Our mind need some relaxation that is why we have a office timing. Due to this trend many people gets stress and other health issues. 

I am seeing many school going childrens have a Facebook account. This might sound normal but its very dangerous as facebook is not filtering any of its contents for below 18 years of age. As parent we cannot keep on spying on our children. Childrens post what they are doing where they are going till what time they will be out etc which makes plots like kidnapping or raping a cake walk. Adults also makes the same mistake by posting their child picture in school uniform and caption with "First day of school". Do we really need to do this? What we gonna get by doing these things other than a few likes. We need to make our children understand the consequences of such posts and as grown ups we also should act sensibly by not posting any stupid posts. 

Social media is a good thing. Now a days lots of revolution starts from social media only. When Chennai was facing floods in 2015 social media was of such a help. 

People should use it wisely. It just a communicating tool. Dont get addicted to it. Dont use it to share your problems and your daily happenings unless its harmless in sharing. When it comes to our loved ones and social media give importance only to your loved ones. If we follow these things and use it wisely social media can become a negativeless platform soon.
