Social Media

Imagine a platform where you can connect to almost anybody and share almost anything with others. This is what Social media is and it is one of the most important and new phenomena in the modern world. It started as simple messaging services for basic communication that later expanded into the huge social networking services we have today. Today social media is an important and inseparable part of our lives. Some popular examples of social media are as follows: 	Facebook 	Twitter 	Snapchat 	Linkedin 	Instagram

One of the things I like about social media is how information is available about almost any topic in this world. Like if you have questions about a topic you can search on social media sites about it to know more about it. This greatly helps people to understand and know about new things. However, the thing I like the most about social media is the possibility of people from different places and cultures to interact with each other. For example, someone sitting in Pakistan can connect with a person in the USA and communicate with them. Isn’t this reduction in the distance among the people of this world fascinating. On the other hand, social media has its drawbacks too. The main one being that social media is too addictive, especially for the younger generation. Youngsters are increasingly becoming addicted to social media’s use and waste a lot of their time on it. In conclusion, I think social media is a positive thing if used for positive purposes and in a limited manner. If used excessively social media can have negative effects on a person too.
