Social media is an online platform where I can share thoughts, information, pictures and

videos. I all use it in our day to day life. It has become an integral part of our lives. There are
various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp etc. Social media has both
advantages and disadvantages.
The biggest benefit of social media is that I can share our thoughts and ideas with people
across the world. Now even common man can express his opinion on any national or
international issue.
Another benefit of social media is that people can showcase their talent on this platform.
Many people have gained fame by showing their talent through social media. It is also
helping people to earn money. People sell a lot of things like clothes, books, electronic items
etc. through social media. Social media is also used to create awareness amongst people.
People with good knowledge about topics like health or nutrition use this platform to create
awareness amongst people. People get to know about the product in the form of reviews
posted by other people on social network. 
I can post advertisement of my product through google ads, Facebook ads etc. Using social
media, one can analyse the best healthcare in the industry. Social media has now become
an established industry which is providing a wide range of job opportunities. Politicians use
twitter, facebook etc to express their personal and political thoughts which helps them to
keep in touch with the public. It is also useful for the citizens to openly discuss on politics
and convey message to the politicians.
I need to use this platform wisely and in a limited way so that I can make the most out of
this platform.

Now I would like to talk about the drawbacks of social media. Addiction is the
biggest drawback. They spend a lot of time in checking various posts on social
media. Spending lot of time on social media also bring a lot of health disorders
like stress, anxiety and sleeplessness. Another drawback of social media is that
we can trust all the information available here. Some information can be true
while some can be fake. At times false news spread like wildfire through this
platform.
Our personal information becomes easily available to many on the net. Hence, we
need to stay alert from hackers. Apart from this cyberbullying is another major
drawback of social media. Some people post negative and hate comments on
others accounts and harass them.
Social media has both good or bad impact.
