The pros and cons of social media in today's society (part 2) Meanwhile there are some drawbacks of using social media. In my point of view the main issue is the vulnerability of our privacy. In reality you don’t even need to be a hacker in order to find much personal information about a person, users of social media mostly are ready to share their personal data. But this fact doesn’t cancel out the risk of hacking, which is also very probable. The attackers can get your personal data and share it on the internet. One of the other cons is the risk of becoming addicted to social media. It leads to excessive use and wasting time, not having enough physical activity and so on. It is especially dangerous for youth, their excesive use also can lead to mental issues due to comparing themselves with others. By the way, today’s social media with short videos, like Tiktok, might be very addictive because they give our brain dopamine, the “feel-good” chemical. In conclusion, even though social media has very harmful drawbacks, it's impossible to imagine our life without all the benefits it gives us. The sole way to mitigate drawbacks is to prevent excesive use of social media by being conscious and disciplined enough. Thank you!

The pros and cons of social media in today's society (part 1) Nowadays social media takes an integral part of the modern world, and it is hard to overrate its significant role. Of course, there are many advantages and drawbacks of using social media in our daily life. In my point of view, social media might give us numerous pros so that it would be silly not to use them. The main advantages are listed down below. The biggest and the most important advantage of social media is connectivity, the opportunity to connect with anyone and anywhere, if you have an internet connection. For example, today we don't need to travel in order to speak with a foreiner and we’re able to do it without much effort sitting on the chair, learning or sharing our opinion or thoughts. Another crucial benefit is the ability to be connected with your beloved, your family, so it becomes much easier to live in a distance with them, because we don’t feel this distance when we’re able to interact with them anytime. Another important advantage is promoting your services or goods using social media. Local businesses can save a lot of money by not buying expensive advertisements on TV and contact their audience without intermediaries. As well as blogers, for whom social media became a place to work and earn money by giving people interesting or useful content. Social media actually is a reason for the appearance of a new stratum of people - videoblogers. Another big advantage which I can’t miss is using social media for being updated on actual news. While news on TV and web sites are biased, using social media can show us real facts and existent situations without interpretation. Thanks a lot!
