✏️ Influence of Social Media on Our Life
You can elaborate on that topic in general, but if you can share with us your personal experience, it would be awesome
Whether we like it or not social media has come to stay.
To some people or individuals, social media has done more harm than good to them but to me, it has been good all the way because I have only explored the positive influence on my life.
Social media has become part and parcel of our daily lives. It has helped and shaped our thinking from the ancient world to the modern day. It is shaping how we communicate globally, connect with friends and families worldwide, and share information and other resources.
Social media allow us to engage or explore the world around us. It is a form of liberation from the world of the unknown to the known. A lot of things or benefits can be achieved through social media.
Influence of Social Media on my Life as a Person
I have experienced the positive effects of social media in my life. I have explored platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to stay in touch with friends and family members who live far away from me.
I have used social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp to become a drop shipper, the larger customers I have are through social media. I discover new interests and ideas through Instagram. My buying and selling is basically through social media. I have a customer whom I have never seen since I started this dropshipping business, she has been the one sending me goods and I sell them to my area customers. It is legit when you meet the right person.
I have also used social media to access educational resources and connect with like-minded individuals who share my passion and interests such as LinkedIn, WhatsApp etc I have added to my career in terms of learning through WhatsApp. There are lots of certificates I have through this media such as the use of digital tools, effective use of technology, capacity building, and coding among others.
Social media has helped me to stay informed about current events, and the latest happenings in life, and share moments of life with people of the old and the new. It has given me the ability to stay connected with friends and family worldwide. With the influence of social media, I have access to a vast array of information and other resources on YouTube, and opportunities for self-growth, self-expression, and self-creativity.
Whatever has a positive influence has its negative influence. I cannot go into the positive influence alone while forgetting the bad influence.
Social media can contribute to hate speech, feelings of comparison, insecurity, and anxiety. Social media feeds can create unrealistic expectations and foster a sense of hatred as we compare ourselves to others.
Additionally, we must be careful enough with our online interactions because a lot of crimes associated with social media have led the innocent into a world of depression and even death. The stream of information and the pressure to present a certain image can also be overwhelming and exhausting, leading to burnout and isolation.
Finally, the influence of social media is numerous. So, for this reason, we must set boundaries and be mindful of the information we share or receive and how it affects our mental health and well-being. It is important to thread carefully while using social media.
