Most people usually enjoy being social, and they always try
to find ways to talk to others so that they can stay connected. There has been
many kinds of technology in the past to help people with this like the
telephone, then the cell phone, and now social media sites on the internet.
These sites have shown that they can have both positive and negative effects on
everyone that uses them.
One of
the best effects that social media sites can have on its users is actually
provide what people want to use it for, which is to communicate with friends
and family. Social media sites allow for this because everyone can join for
free and almost anyone can learn to use them. When people use these sites,
communication becomes much easier. Not only can people have private
conversations between each other, but they can also have public communication
to all of their contacts for giving news of important information and events in
short period of time.
On the
other hand, people can also sometimes get bad effects from social media sites.
The most common negative effects is wasting too much time on social media sites.
It is not bad to use media sites if there is nothing else to do, however, some
people can be addicted to it and spend too much time on the sites even if they
actually have work to do. Social media sites can be a source of bad language or
information that is not good for children or teenagers who try to use media
sites. Older users can put bad language or other bad things that the kids
should not see.
Aside
from the effects that are clearly positive or negative, there some effects that
are undecided if they are good or bad. Some people will put information about
politics on those sites, and this can be useful if it is updates about changes
in the government, but politicians can be hurt from other politicians’
criticizing.
In
short, social media sites can be a negative or positive experience for the
people that use it. As long as people are still benefiting from the site, then
we should not change that part of it. However, it should be a priority to fix
the parts of social sites that can be harmful or can have negative effects.
That way, as many users as possible will enjoy using social media sites.
