PROS AND CONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Abstract

The way people communicate with each other has been transformed forever by social media. Networking sites first existed as an innovation known as email, which was founded in 1975, and is still used today. Social media, though, has progressed into using a profile to include information about a person and his or her preferences, and has incorporated the use of email. Social media now entails exchanging stories, images, and the use of applications to connect with people, as well as texting. Until 2003, when MySpace and Friendster were introduced, this method of social media did not emerge. Shortly after the introduction of Facebook, but until 2006, which has now been the number one social networking platform, it was not accessible to the general public. These channels have many beneficial consequences, such as getting in connected with people, meet some new individuals, offering additional potential, as well as the ease of smartphone connectivity. There are also some detrimental consequences, including data stealing, cyber bullying, reduced real-life social contact, and social exclusion. Anticipated health issues may be caused by a rise in mobile social networks.
