Speech on Social Media

Teachers, my dear friends, and classmates!

Very good morning to all of you. Today I am going to speak on the topic- Social Media.

The reason I chose this topic because of the growing popularity of social media.

As we all know that social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp are gaining
importance these days as they are connecting people worldwide with just a click of a button.

If we look at the positive impact of social media, there are various advantages. One of the major
advantages of social media is that it is full of information and helps in providing education. For example,
children approach social media to get information on the desired topic.

It is a great device for education. It has made live education possible. We can attend a lecture happening
in some other part of the world by just sitting in front of a screen in our country.

Isn’t it great?

Social media is also very convenient to stay updated about what is happening around us. We don’t need
to wait for a newspaper to give us information. There are various news-related applications that can
instantly update us about any serious happening around us.

Social media has also created opportunities for people such as to show their talent. It is also great for
advertisements. But despite being so many benefits, it has been criticized. It has disadvantages too.

It is also considered as one of the harmful elements of society. The oversharing on social media can be
dangerous. It can attack our privacy. Also, overusing leads to spending too much time on social media
which can deviate children from their studies. Sometimes fake news is also spread with its help
disturbing the people.

In short, social media has its advantages and disadvantages. It is up to us how we use it. Use it wisely!

Thank you.
