Positive effect of social media on Ghanaians.

The joy of writing a long,newsy letter to a friend,a short thank -you note or even a letter of complaint,seems to have disappeared nowadays.people just pick up the phone,fax or send whtsapp,an email instead o composing something in their own.The social media seems to have become a way of life form many people.All most ninety-nine percent (99% )of Ghanaian woke up on social media either to transact business or to give a glorious smile on the faces of their families and friends by whtsapping or Twittering etc.Handwriting,which is much more appropriated by the person receiving it.IT shows thoughts,care and consideration but people,or their way of life, are changing from the oldest known way of using and expressing once joy or appreciation or transactions. Social media in Ghana has really helped conversations around the world easier among Ghanaian families and friends both in abroad and Ghana.A good a example is the use of WhatsApp nowadays to talk or chat with people and transact business around the globe within a trikle of an eye among Ghanaians. Again the most enjoyable aspect of social media on Ghanaians is the use of data,information which can be exchanged easily.The use of social media has made it possible for each and every Ghanaians to be able to receive data,exchange information easily without any special known how and use.information can be directly sent to large number of people easily with out stress or any special known how. Moreover,social media has tremendously improve the local business person and sectors in the lives of Ghanaians directly and indirectly.Most Ghanaians now uses the social media to promote their businesses in a world market by the use of social media siting at their own small corner and the world gets to hear about their business.A practical example is the use of the various transactions apps such as GCB mobile apps,Access mobile apps Fido mobile money lendering app and Mtn mobile apps etc. Furthermore, social media in general help save money over SMS by using whtsap.Whatsp is more easily and changes less then SMS messages both locally and internationally. The last but not the lest,it has help in advoiding boredom in the lives of Ghanaians in general. Many would argue that some of these negative effects are not a direct causes of social networking,however,social media has created increased risk for these tendencies.I will focus on just a few of the negative effects to explain the impact social media has in our lives as Ghanaians.Sometimes without us even knowing.IF you can’t imagine your life without social media,that’s a sign that you have fallen a victim to the evil power of social networking.IT also means that you have experienced one or more of the negative effects of social media on society.Dont pretend you have never heard of these.while social media can have a positive impact too,that doesn’t mean it’s all heart and flowers. Cyber bullying,before social media,bullying was something only done face to face.However,now ,someone can be bullied online anomoushy.Today everyone knows what cyber bullying is,and most of us have seen what it can do to a person. In conclusion, social media plays a vital role in the lives of Ghanaians in the commoneration aspect currently after the digital revolution in the world of internet.IT is worth mentioning that a positive matter will be followed by the negative effects.Whiles freedom of expression within social networking has many positive aspects that has really helped Ghanaians.
