Benefits of social media.
Social media allows us to meet people from all corners of the world. We can always keep in
touch with our family or friends, wherever they are. Text messages, pictures, videos, and even
live chat are only some of the ways we can communicate with others who use social media
platforms. It has also helped people become known, by showing their skills or talents online.
Drawbacks.
The biggest drawback of social media is that it is highly addictive to almost every person using
it. It can easily lead to withdrawal and isolation. Using social media all day also leads to health
problems such as stress, depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness. Lack of exercise has also
become a concern, as people don’t do any physical activities. They have become dependent on
social media and are not willing to spare any time for themselves.
