Internet development has a great impact on people's life. Some people say social media do more harm to the youth. Other people say they do the great to youth. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Advancement in the internet plays a major role in
people
's life. Some people
argue that social media
has more negative impacts on young people
, while others argue that there are more positive impacts of social media
than negatives. This
essay will discuss both views and provide my opinion in the end.
On the one hand, arguably social media
has made a huge impact on communication
. A few decades ago, mails and telephones were the only modes of communication
with people
who lived far away. Because of this
, many people
were not able to keep in touch with their loved ones. Development in the internet and technologies made communication
easy. For example
, social media
like Facebook and WhatsApp are effective in communicating with people
who live miles away. Furthermore
, Young people
can create groups on these websites and make communication
better. This
allows flexible communication
in workplaces and educational institutions. This
way people
do not have to attend meetings physically thus
improving productivity.
On the other hand
, one should not ignore the downsides of these social media
, especially in youths' lives. Social media
can be accessed easily by anyone. In today's era, many people
are scammed through these platforms. Although
cybercrime is a punishable offence, the number of offenders is on the rise. For instance
, since anyone can create a profile through this
, scammers create many fake profiles to cheat online users and extort money. Moreover
, young adults can fall for sexual predators. In recent times, there are many youths became victims of these offenders in many countries.
To conclude, In my opinion, although
there are many advantages of social media
, the disadvantages should not be disregarded. Social media
can be used to maximize productivity if people
are vigilant about the detrimental effects and use them cautiously.Submitted by mnasasanjith on
