Social media has amassed large user bases. Do the advantage of being a part of social media site outweighs the disadvantage?

Nowadays, social

media

is one of the major parts of living. People can receive and gain any

information

from anywhere in the

world

via the

internet

,

this

is really convenient. In my notion, being a part of social

media

have more advantages than disadvantages and I am going to explain in the following paragraphs.

First

, in the previous era before the

world

has the

internet

we use different types of communication systems

such

as pigeons, that carry letters ,

then

I think

this

method is tardy and complicated.

However

, today in the

world

of technology we have various sorts of social networks

such

as Facebook, Skype, Discord and Whatapps etc. and these all can bring the

world

smaller than ever.

For example

, some families do not live together in the same mansion or apartment maybe their parents live in their homeland but their offspring are living abroad,

nevertheless

, they can keep in touch with each other by using social

media

.

Second

,

information

and data from untrustable sources can be easy to be tracked and checked. Back in the day, we can only consume news from television and newspaper. These kinds of

information

sources can be simply controlled by the government and it means citizens have no right and no freedom to receive the facts.

For instance

, if you are in a country,

that is

strict with their citizens to consume only the

information

from government mass

media

and disallow their residents to reach the

internet

,

this

means the politicians can do anything that they want. But if you are in a nation where you are free to audit any sources of data that you can opt what staff you are going to believe, will it be better? In conclusion, the

internet

and technology do not have only advantages because the coin always has two sides. So

this

is our responsibility to choose the better way to use them.
