Every morning when we wake up our day starts with good morning messages and posts on Different Social media Platform and now it became our daily routine To use social media or part of our life. We spend alot of time on Social Media without any reason because we love to scroll or we can say we are addicted to it and we even don't realise that it effects our health badly mentally as well as physically.
Social media can make us less social in daily life. There are many people who start to pull away from friends and family in their daily life because they are so caught up in what is going on in the lives of the people they are following on social media.If we don’t set boundaries and post everything that happens to us in our personal life , we forget that our entire life is not only public, but also permanently recorded in visual images and text. Just remember that safety and reputation are both important.
When we talk about the use of social media, we can not ignore the importance of Social media content strategy.Many people have talent but are struggling to show their talent to the world but social media gives them
opportunities to show their whole talent. Also, you can meet new people, connect with friends and family, form group of people with same interests. But ,Still there should be limit to use social Media .We should limit our time to use social media otherwise it will lead us more addiction.
When interacted with some students, they expressed their views like this :
"Albeit using social network is paramount but that usage shall be kept under check as it's impacts are colossal to upcoming epoch because nowadays we all are familiar with pseudo news circulating on various sites which can cause us some losing The vitalness of our words in front of others." Ishfaq wani ( MA Political Science student AMU)
"Social media is important and basic need of present 21st century but should be in limited way as it impacts us both Physically, mentally and psychologically. we should use all media platforms but never underestimate it's bad effects because of its radiation. Instead of positive uses 60% people use these multimedia platforms in negative ways like unnecessary chatting, pornography and Bullying. We lost our dignity of labour and respect to elders because of Social media. For me Social media is everything but when human uses it for good cause." Abbas kashmiri ( MSW Student Kashmir university)
"Use of social media is like conflict, if we will handle the conflict situation properly it would have Positive results and if not dealt properly, it can lead to destruction. We can get a lot of benefits from social media and we can remain happy in social world and can get daily updates. If we talk about whatsapp, it has now became a part of life as it helps in our daily works as it has a lot of beneficial features.And if we talk about YouTube, due to this we can get any type of video solutions as to clear our doubts in daily life. We get entertainment through YouTube, which makes us comfortable to deal with day to day difficulties in our daily life. If we talk about Facebook, in this busy era, we are getting chance to stay connected with our friends and can make new friends through this. We are sharing our opinion, problems, issues, queries,etc with our friends and that makes happiness in our lives." Aijaz Rasool ( MSW Student Kashmir University )
"we need to limit our time to use social media in order to lower our anxiety and increase self esteem. Serving ourselves from being a jerk." Faiza ( College student )
Studies show that people who spend a significant amount of time on social media experience increased anxiety and decreased self-esteem. Watching everybody else's milestones and achievements fly through your feed doesn't make you happy for your pals, it makes you unhappy about your own (seeming) lack of accomplishment.
Use social media But in limit and take care your health too.
