for me, you can be addicted and you will give it more time so definitely, you will ignore your job, studies (the main things in your life) and that's not good at all.
man should control himself and only use it for the necessary.

I feel that the advantages of social media trumps the disadvantages. I cannot even measure how much of good exposure to business and issues of life I have got from social media platforms. I have joined groups that boost your morale to keep going even when faced with challenges, I have also been able to get in touch with very dear friends that I may never have met in life again all thanks to social media.

Obviously purpose of social media is to connect with your friends and family, see how they are doing in their lives, interact and talk to them. The main disadvantage of social media is that you can get trapped in this circle where you spend all your day on social media just endlessly scrolling down because it becomes so addictive

 

[Abigael]

The purpose of social media ranges from one person to another but the general ones include socialization with many people, entertainment, communication, promotion of websites and other products and others. The disadvantage is that social media can be so addictive and a waste of time and data bundles if you are not using it for something beneficial.

One of the biggest benefits of social media such as Facebook and Twitter is that they are global and independent of time and place. It is a very effective tool that can be used to disseminate information that is easily disseminated, as long as the information is designed correctly. Social media are very good marketing channels for companies or individuals and also, in most cases, cost nothing.

Studies show that people feel good about social media as they often have more close relationships with people than those who do not use social media. Through social media, you can easily keep in touch with friends, or re-establish contact with, for example, old classmates.

As a young person on Facebook, for example, there is both support and information that you may need. This can feel reassuring for a young person as they do not always want the parents to know about everything and through this, the child or young person unknowingly increases their development opportunities. Social media can be used for much more positive things than what is mentioned here, everything from organizing people for a search for missing persons to helping schoolchildren with school work.

As with everything, there are both positive and negative aspects though. Some things of the above mentioned as positive can be turned into negative. People's great commitment and willingness to help can sometimes be exploited and it has happened that people claim to be looking for kidnapped children. Through the tips you get, you have subsequently managed to find people who have a protected identity, which was the idea behind the whole idea. This is one of the reasons why you have to be very critical of sources on social media.

When it comes to the biggest negatives, it's a lot regarding the young users. There is widespread cyberbullying and the younger ones who spend a lot of their time on Facebook are also more depressed. There are cases where hanged and harassed people have chosen to end their lives because of this. Young people are also at risk of being exploited in most ways. Inappropriate images, such as nude images, sent in trust easily end up in the wrong hands and can be used for extortion and threats.

The disadvantages of social media is way lesser than its advantage. One of the disadvantages include time wasting. People tend to get carried away with trends and gossips on social media for entertainment and forget important things to be done. Some waste their whole day trying to check what's going on on social media platforms.
The purpose of social media is to inform, educate and entertain. It gives you for more knowledge but then it must be used wisely

 

[Richard92]

the purpose of social media was to make life easy for us in terms of disseminating information getting acquainted with friends family and also making business go easier but the disadvantage of social media today is the transmission and dissemination of fake news which has hair in destroying the world and also affect people's perspective towards others.

 

[Eodine]

one disadvantage of social media is that one can be depressed from the exorbitant lifestyle show offs from celebrities and other people which may lead one to start thinking negatively especially one that doesn't have much.

 

[tyrim88]

The purpose of social media as the name implies is a platform that was created and designed to be able to bring people together just like in a social gathering with people rom diverse baground to discuss things of intrest.But over time the medium has been seen that it can be used for other things like promoting ones business and doing ads about your business as well.The disadvantage is that some persons has used that medium to defraud a lot of people through this process.

 

[Robust]

To me, social media have help to make information flow fast, give knowledge about things, advertising, marketing product, communication, up grade the standard of living.

That is very true,because every good thing some not so good individuals would want to abuse it,that is the case of the social media.I personally have benefited a lot from social media,as well as connections i have made through it.

Personally I think social media was created as a way of communicating, it allows easy and fast communication around the world. These days people now use it for fraudulent activities and some persons have become addicted to the point that they no longer have a life outside social media.

You are right, I know of people who are very addicted to social media but right now most of them have seen the opportunity in social media, so they make money from there now

If you use Social Media for learning and Manage your Businesses, of course, you'll make a lot of money, but I see people use it just for chatting and play games the whole day, and that's a waste.

Especially our young minds, they easily get influenced by what they see on social media, they copy the live styles of celebrities and social media influencers and in most cases, they copy the wrong things and end up making the wrong decisions.

 

[Aaron625]

One disadvantage of social media is , it is very addictive and can be dangerous to younger generation kids who can be influenced by wrong people or unknown people by chatting online. It can affect their academics and also cause health problems like eye pain in young age. Advantages of using social media are many. We can build friend circle for business purpose and also find like minded people. We can follow our dream companies and businesses and get more information and knowledge about them. We can read latest news in social media about celebrities, sports person and actors.

It is quite unfortunate that some have greatly abused social media and that is why I think that children and the new generation of youth should be directed well before being exposed to such platforms.
