There is a debate about whether social media is good
or bad. Social media is a double-edged sword. You must know how to use it
effectively. Social media is a currency currently. You can showcase your
talents, skills, and abilities. You can get lots of opportunities including
employment and explore entrepreneurship. You can share your knowledge and add
value to others. you can build your brand. You can explore opportunities
globally. It is cost-effective and quick to reach out to others. However, it
kills your time and distracts you from your goals and objectives if you are
addicted to it.
If you take alcohol moderately, it is good. If you
take alcohol excessively, you become an alcoholic. Similarly, use social media
moderately, not excessively to avoid becoming an addict. Social media was a
boon during the coronavirus spreading awareness, connecting people globally, and
bringing them into one platform.
Once watching television was condemnable. Now
children are glued to smartphones. We cannot stop it. But we must take
appropriate precautions to use them wisely.
We cannot do away with social media. We must adapt
as per the changing times and technologies. Throwing social media is like throwing
the baby out with the bathwater. You have to draw a thin line and fine line
somewhere with the usage of social media.
Don’t get addicted to social media. Use it
judiciously. Use it for educational and marketing purposes. Harness it wisely.
Fix some specific time for it every day and follow it religiously. Don't get
distracted from your goals. To conclude, treat social media as an ally, not an
enemy.
