Many people use social media every day to get in touch with other people and obtain the news. Do you think the advantages of this way outweigh the disadvantages? (MEDIA)
It is a common belief that many
people
use social media
every day to get in touch with other people
and obtain the news
. However
, there is a more persuasive argument that using social media
too much can make people
depressed and affected by fake news
.
On the one hand, Social media
can help people
relax with news
and call their friends. It is a happy time for users
. Citizens can join social media
so easily. They just need a smartphone or computer with the internet
. After that, people
can create an account and talk or chat with anyone if they want. In their free time, people
always read news
free on social media
but do not need to pay money for newspapers. For instance
, in my university, students are really busy, so in their break times, they usually join social media
or read news
on smartphones like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook,... and get a lot of information about showbiz, worldwide, nature… From that point, they can get much knowledge of mankind and that is
good for their future.
Nevertheless
, people
use social media
too much because they have neurological problems. They are increasingly closed and shy to talk with others. Some criminals can use social media
to steal information and money from users
. The government can not control the content on the Internet
because that is
private to citizens, so a lot of fake news
is not good for users
. For example
, research has shown that sixty per cent of teenagers are affected by toxic information on the Internet
and fake news
. Furthermore
, the toxic news
and bad friends on the Internet
make them against their parents and teachers.
To sum up
, there are some disadvantages to using social media
in life. It is evident that the advantages of the Internet
and social media
are helpful for users
in the social century.Submitted by hihihahahoho on
