Social media sites have taken over our lives. Most people engage with social media without stopping to think what the effects are on our lives, whether positive or negative. Are we, as a society becoming more concerned with Facebook "friends" than we are with the people we interact with face-to-face in our daily lives? What will the long-term effects of today's social media use be?
Positive Impact:
Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, trade ideas, share content and pictures.
Most companies are using social media to advertise their products, build customer loyalty and many other functions. Interactions and feedback from customers help businesses to understand the market, and fine-tune their products and strategies.
Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business prospects.
Negative Impact:
When working, people engage in social networking sites which means “Social Not-Working”. People connect with others who have no connection or bonds with, rather than those who are close to us and have special bonds and connections.
People are constantly keeping a tab on what is going on in other people’s lives and then compare theirs with their own. This can have a bad impact.
It can also be a waste of time as people can visit a site to check on thing and end up spending the whole day 'behind the screen' and thus, not doing anything useful with their lives.
