It is becoming more and more difficult to escape the influence of the media on our lives. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living in a media rich society.
The advancement in technology dramatically changed the living standard of human beings to the extent that we cannot survive without the internet even for a
second
. Even though there are many beneficial effects of this
, there are some downsides also
which are worth considering.
There are numerous advantages of social media in our daily life. Firstly
, the invention of social websites
makes the world united. Now, we can make friends from every corner of the universe, exchange ideas and share each other's experiences. Secondly
, the online shopping websites
make life so much easier, we can order groceries and other stuff just with a click which leads to saving so much time in this
chronic busyness. Last
but not least, we get to know easily what's going on in the other nations. For example
, the conditions between Ukraine and Russia are known by everyone because of the prevalent use of online websites
.
On the other side, there are a few disadvantages of doing everything online in our lives. The use of computers resulted in a sedentary lifestyle which leads to health and fitness problems. For instance
, I gained 8 kg weight after joining my new job in 5 months because I don't need to move much around. Additionally
, sometimes the online transactions are not safe and your account can be hacked. Moreover
, over usage of mobile phones separates the family away because nowadays people prefer to spend time online compared to with their families. As a result
, people are suffering from loneliness and stress.
In conclusion, the use of social networking websites
makes the lifestyle so much easier and connects the universe. However
, it also
leads to various chronic diseases and encourages online robberies as well as depression. Therefore
, the government should take some protective measures to deter the negative consequences of using social platforms.Submitted by sdeepkaur9 on
