With the advent of the internet, society has witnessed a revolution in many aspects of life, and entertaining is of no exception. New kinds of pastimes have appeared and probably, one of the most prominent recreations is social media. Rarely do we see a person without a phone full of social media nowadays and it might be what people spend most of their times with. However, this raises a critical question of whether the incremental popularity of these new kinds of entertaining is actually beneficent or there may exist a potential risk to our daily lives. After weighing up both the merits and demerits of this practice, I myself believe that the former far outweighs the latter, thus substantiating further pursuit of the above enquiry.
