Social media is the interaction of people online in
which they create, share or exchange information, ideas, and pictures/videos in
virtual communities. The majority of people in today’s society has at least one
social media account whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, their own blog or even a
YouTube account. There are many ways to use these social sources to your
advantage but there are also some disadvantages.
Advantages
You can use social media to connect and interact with your
friends and families whether they are near or distant. It’s a different way to
get to know your close ones better by looking at what interests them online
through their post. It’s a good way to meet new people, not necessarily just
for dating but for people that share the same interest. It’s also a good way to
network a business as there is always a mass of people online that are
interested in a certain niche.
Disadvantages
Social media can also
have a bad side because there’s a lack of trust that lingers around the virtual
community. There are a lot of scammers and spammers throughout all social media
sites in which they try to reel you in to empty out the money in your pockets.
There are internet “trolls” that like to spread hatred towards online content
that are created by people. These are more seen in the comments of the YouTube
community. There are also situations where the distribution of personal private
ideas or pictures/videos are exposed online without any constant that can alter
ones reputation.
You have to be really careful of how you manage your life
through social media because it can be daring at times but once you learn to
use it in a safe manner it can be really beneficial.
