Stop blaming social media for the wrong choices you make while using Social media. Social media is in the great interest of the human world. It looks like the eighth wonder of the world. It is a source of social networking and interaction because human beings are social animals, and social media provides social platforms. It’s our psyche that social media has hijacked our minds and lives, which is wrong and rubbish.

Life Before Social Media

Before the advancement of social media, people lacked communication with their loved ones and the world. Back then, there were no smartphones, the internet, and easy means of communication. Radio was a social medium used as a source of awareness and communication in the old days. Social media has shown us the real world of success and progress quickly and effectively. Before social media advancement, most people lived in a world of illiteracy, unaware of their rights and surprising facts about the world.

Humans Are Smarter Then Social Media

We are super beings with a brain, and what is more brainy than a brain? Think and revise your choices. No one can force us over anything. Make choices in your favor and not against you and your conscience. Decide it yourself whether you want to get benefits or you want to waste time on social media.

Advancement With Social Media

Some decades or centuries back, we wanted to reach Mars and the moon and discover the world. But now, with social media advancement, the world has gained access to the moon and Mars, and still, we complain about social media.

Know Different Cultures Through Social Media

Before the rise of social media, we were unaware of different cultures, civilizations, and other things. But now, with the help of social media, we have easy access to explore the world and learn about different cultures and civilizations.

Today, we all have smartphones and unlimited internet data to route around the world from our homes at our fingertips. The world of the internet, technology, and social media gave us comfort and luxury to learn and explore.

Parents And Kids Screen Time

Parents are in deep pain due to social media. They think social media is making their kids rebellious. They are concerned about them and want them not to use social media. It’s right to complain about such an issue. But it is wrong to blame and hold social media responsible for it alone.

Parents are the guardians of their kids. They must take the best care of their kids and their screen time. They should indulge their children in outdoor activities, practice face-to-face communication with their kids, and should learn what they want. They should watch their screen time, ensure parents protect their screens, and install educational and informative apps and programs on their screens. Smartphones should be off at the time of study, food time, family time, school time, and bedtime.

Social Media Is Good Or Bad

Social media is good or bad? There is no doubt everything has a positive side and a negative side. However, it is also true that no one can force you to do something you don’t want.

We have many social media platforms that have billions of users, and they use these platforms for different purposes. Social media is a lot more social, fun, and helpful in all means of life.

Social Media Is A Social Network

Social media is a social network, and humans are social animals. We can’t live without our kids and loved ones. When we are away from loved ones, what do we do? We call them either through a video call, a voice call, or FaceTime.

What will you do if you miss your school lecture? You will search it on Google or YouTube to learn lectures and do homework. Social media provides platforms to connect, learn, and explore.

Social Media Is Earning Platform

Social media is providing big platforms for earnings online. Millions of people are earning through online platforms. Billions of people use Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and TickTok to earn money.

Social media is for buying and selling products online, online booking hotels, online doctors, online tuition, online shopping, and online banking, and there is an endless list of social media benefits.

What Is Cyberbullying

Some people use digital technologies to bully others, and this is called cyberbullying. Bullying is done online through messaging platforms, gaming, and smartphone platforms.

How To Report Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying must be reported straight away to the national helpline. If no helpline is available in your country, you can ask for help from people you trust, mentors, or peers to get professional help and support. Cyberbullying is a crime, and it needs to be reported straight away without any delay.
