The birth of social
media
 is a boon for both individuals and society. But, some
people
 trust that social
media
 is impacting
people
 live's through networking links
such
 as
Facebook
. In my opinion,
Facebook
 has both a positive and negative impact and it depends on how the public use it, so I strongly disagree with the statement given, because the positive trend in social
media
 outweighs the negative trend. One of the main reasons,why I disagree is through networking
people
 can get interaction with many different cultures and communities.
Also
,
Facebook
 helps us to know the current awareness of the products in the market and teaches us many life skills.
For Instance
: cooking,
people
 share many tips and hacks in cooking which help us in our day-to-day life. Meanwhile, social
media
also
 helps us to build the same kind of professional group in which we can get to know about active employment opportunities as well.
On the other hand
, a few disadvantages like data safety impact the
media
. it gathers information when we like any product or update our personal details in our bio and Where it is saved on the database to use on future cold-calling needs. For ,example uploading regular events on
Facebook
 . Another valuable reason is spending overtime, when they start to use it they forget themselves and are occupied for a long time and It depends on the
people
 and their interest.
To conclude
, social
media
 help us to improve our knowledge,upgrade our circle and create an opportunity to earn. Sometimes even it teaches us new life skills.Though it has a few disadvantages the positive impact in its outweigh the negative trend.
