Young thinking about social media

    Need to use it wisely

     In our society today, every good and bad thing that happens every day can be easily communicated to the people and governments through social media and their views can be shared with others.  At the same time, it has become very easy to get any kind of information from all over the world and social media is also a great platform to promote one’s art, but some mischievous elements are constantly innovating in the name of religion, caste etc.  It is a matter of concern that inflammatory rumors are being spread.

     The cause of mental stress

     Social media has become so dominant in the human mind that one cannot even imagine a different existence.  Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram have turned the whole world into one village.  Excessive use of social media is causing stress in human beings and this stress further develops into mental illness.  Social media has made a person emotionally weak.  Man is building and breaking relationships on social media these days.  In the present times, the erosion of relationships on social media has become a daily occurrence.  Sometimes a person becomes so mentally disturbed due to the breakdown in a relationship due to the use of social media that he goes so far as to commit suicide.

     Increase knowledge as well as misleading

     Everything has two sides, like a blessing for chopping vegetables, a curse for killing.  Similarly, social media has both sides.  Due to this our knowledge increases immensely.  There is so much new to learn that is never thought of, nor are such works ever read in books.  Moral education, good ideas, scientific inventions, modern technology, history, culture, heritage, recent events in the country and abroad and many more.  This is how we get valuable knowledge through social media.  It is a very good and cheap way to increase intellectual knowledge.  On the other hand, it provides a wide variety of false propaganda, unscientific information, provocative videos, pornography, and a host of factual information.  Many information, propaganda, etc., often lead to the provocation of human emotions and misleading human thinking.

     A forum for inflammatory news

     The pros and cons of social media are endless.  If we want to get any kind of information then social media gives us invaluable information in minutes-seconds with just one click of ours.  Social media is a source of amazing information.  The disadvantages of social media are not small.  When unrest breaks out in any part of the world, governments are the first to ban social media, as it is also widely used by criminals.  There are always gangsters active on social media who are deadly to society and the state in every way.  Because of the cheapness of social media, almost everyone is wasting their precious time and family relationships by using it unnecessarily and unnecessarily.  Lots of messages, good wishes, are being given only through this.  Social media is not accountable to anyone.  So the provocative, fabricated news keeps running on it.  It is consuming our precious time today.

     Need to learn more

     Today is the age of technology.  Social media is a great invention of that era.  We have become so dependent on social media that we seek its help for everything.  Social media is very useful for us.  From home, we get news from all over the world.  Social media is great for people of all ages.  It is an ocean of knowledge for teachers, for students, for youth, for every ordinary and special person.  But nowadays people are misusing social media which is causing a lot of trouble to many people.  Given all this, it seems that social media does more harm than good to us.  We need to get knowledge from social media and not harass people by misusing it.  After all, if we benefit from something, it has some disadvantages, but we should take advantage of it so that we can learn more from it and not waste our time on social media.  .

     Excessive use is harmful

     While there are advantages to social media, there are also disadvantages.  Today, every young person is using social media.  It is also being used so much that its benefits are less and its losses are more.  In today’s age, although the networking system is being adopted by every section of the society, it has become a means of entertainment for the villagers.  In the modern age it is the best, cheapest and easiest means of communication through which you can reach your message to millions of people in minutes and seconds.  This networking is undermining our ethics.  This is having a direct impact on our national conduct.  Family ties are falling apart.  Children do not like to sit in the family.  They are obsessed with computers, laptops, iPads or mobiles in their rooms.  Social media addiction is a serious mental problem.  Taking selfies while doing anything and posting them on social media has become common these days.  This causes one train to sink to the bottom and another to slip off the mountains.  Parents need to make their children aware of social media and use it sparingly.

     Away from family

     Through social media, we are connected with our distant relatives, friends and other acquaintances, but on the other hand, we are also getting away from our family.  In the past, people used to sit together in their homes and talk and listen to each other’s sorrows and joys.  But now the story is different, every member of the household, big or small, has a mobile phone.  They have no time for each other.  We are engrossed in social media sitting in our own rooms today.  Finally, I would like to request you to waste your precious time on social media.
