Many people believe that social networking sites such as Facebook have had a huge negative impact on both individuals and society. To what extent you agree?

Groups of
people
around the
world
think social
media
apps and websites
such
as Instagram and Facebook had an abysmal result on communities and humans individually.
Although
, there are many positive and negative impacts of social
media
as you will see I talked about them in
this
essay. On the one hand, when you spend too much of your
time
on these types of apps only because you are bored, your
time
has been used uselessly.
Thus
, while you spend your
time
there, lots of
people
worldwide are communicating in person and increasing their social skills which you do not.
For example
, TikTok is a social networking app for
people
around the
world
to share their videos there which is not helpful for us to use because while we spend our
time
in an unhelpful way
also
our communication skills will not improve.
Hence
, applications like
this
are always lurking to hunt our
time
and attention.
On the other hand
, applications
such
as Facebook helped us share our ideas with
people
around the
world
.
However
, users can be aware of other humans’ news and their experience.
For instance
, in applications
such
as Pinterest, artists around the
world
can share their artworks and they can find new ideas there which is very helpful.
Therefore
, social
media
and networks are positive tools if you use them correctly. In conclusion, each person and group of
people
should be aware of the negative impact can social
media
apps do on their life and learn how to use them in a luminary way.
