#people #media #television #ages #topic
The definition of social
media
 is "The relationships that exist between networks of
people
".It is no doubt true by some professionals that using social
media
 is more popular than watching television at a young age.I would argue that everybody enjoys using applications like Facebook,Messenger,Instagram,u tube and others despite having a few drawbacks.
On the other hand
,there are many suitable benefits for
this
 topic.Nowadays,all
people
 must know the international news happening all over the world within a few seconds as they have to go to more places and do more things.
In other words
,most
people
 can know the latest news through a very small screen which promotes some pieces of information
such
 as famous actors and actresses ,popular football matches and so on.In olden times,only the invention of TV has led to
people
 being too much sedentary.
That is
 very unhealthy.Another reason that using social
media
 is that it would help education growth.As the world is being modernized ,
people
 can communicate with one another online and they can learn foreign languages from various websites.
Therefore
,they can create their beautiful future together with our hands.
On the other hand
,there are obvious disadvantages to using social
media
.
Firstly
,it would mean that
people
 can suffer from unexpected health issues if they use it all the time.In my view,most teenagers spend their precious time doing
this
.So,they always take absence for their homework.Other negative effects of using social
media
 are that basic
people
 can feel depressed and discontented with their ordinary lives and have only a small amount of money to spend on luxuries when advertisers post their expensive sellings on Facebook.Of course,we may know that they are liars. In summary,the population of social
media
 platforms will only lead to a greater amount of internet users
instead
 of fewer ones.In my opinion,we may not spend our time only on using
this
.
