"Social", in simple it means society and "Media" it is a medium; a communication medium and "Social Media" means communication of different societies through different ways for example by using websites, applications like WhatsApp, Instagram. It sounds good to be a part of social media, a society that is on internet, a society that is never too far. We feel good to see our loved one's through video calls when we know they stay quite far and sometimes it's not possible to visit them so, here Social Media plays a very important role in connecting people. It doesn't only connect people but it also helps to spread important guidelines worldwide in seconds. Just like or days in this pandemic- it has become more important to be active on social medias as we are not able to receive newspapers and so on. Yes, till now we understand that how important social media is but on other hand I personally feel bad about being a part of social media. I'm not saying that I'm not a part, yes I am and most of the time it seems quite good to learn using YouTube videos, educational websites, also through blogs - Being a Web developer I know how much of efforts it takes to create and deploy an app or a website and we also want users to use it at numbers. But when I start thinking as a user and slowly when the app games or anything which starts becoming an addiction at that point, I feel bad about "being social".
We all know nothing is safe when we deal with internet. The thing is when someone gets addicted to social media it becomes a poison slowly and people don't understand this. They think that it is important to use internet every now and then and it's really important to use social accounts and to be a part of social society, infact people should think in such a way that for their personal good they should have 99% of their time for their own-self and 1% for social media.
Now, people might debate that what about the people who are 24/7 working on the security and maintenance of such social apps? So, let me be clear that, that's their job and they too have a personal life. But people who uses social app have forgotten the real meaning of life. Where people used to spend more time with family, reading books, doing something creativity and today the things are totally different. People have dedicated 95% of their life to social media and the remaining 5% they spend it no-where-else. I'm not at all saying that social media is a bane no doubt it is a boon because some people life depends on earnings they get from social media (Example - YouTube) but you should limit yourself. Also, we should salute the one who came up with the concept of internet and helped distanced people to meet again. Social media is a blessing but not always. Because you share a lot of personal details on it. No doubt it is helping students to learn things without cost (money), helping people learn new dishes, exercises, dance steps and no doubt people are getting famous with it but with fame and using internet there come problems too.
