Is Social Media a Necessary Evil?

 

“The good leaders do the best thing in the prevailing situation whereas the great leaders do the right thing in any situation irrespective of the effects and outcomes.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

 

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.
