Social media is a platform that provides access for someone to interact with other
people, such as chatting, talking, and sharing photos or videos. Social media brings a lot of
progress. There are several positive and negative impacts.As for the positive impact, for
example in the field of medicine and health is to provide tools for health professionals to
share information and promote health behavior, engage with the community, and educate
and interact with patients, students, and colleagues. And then, the positive impact on
business with the use of social media, better understanding customer needs. 349
International Journal of Computer Science and Engineering social media helps in promoting
Business around the World. You can get important information quickly and easily.
I agree with the author’s opinion that there are positive and negative impacts of social media.
The positive impact is that social media is very helpful and educates the nation by making it
easier to share important information in various fields such as education, health, etc. There
are many social media applications that support someone to express themselves. Starting
from buying and selling goods, promotions, and conveying important information.
Information on product offerings can spread quickly, even in seconds. Just by sliding the
screen and search for what you want. Payments can also be made through various online
methods. In addition, there are currently many online tutoring services offering affordable
service prices making it easier for students to increase their study hours
Negative Effects of Social Media on the business field, social media is not completely
safe because many fans and supporters are allowed to post their feelings in certain
associations, which then negative comments can lead to disappointment.Social networking
technology also makes it possible to cause cybercrime such as hacking activities that make a
loss. Moreover, that should be used to learn and do positive things can be disrupted by the
addictive nature of annoying social media. And the most dangerous is can somebody destroy
the reputation of others by only committing minor crimes that have a major impact such as
spreading hoaxes
I agree with the negative impacts mentioned. The negative impact is that someone becomes
more consumptive. Attractive promotional impressions make it addictive to shop at the
online shop. Staring at the screen for too long can damage eye health. There are some
internet crimes that disturb citizens. Like cybercrime. Cybercrime is a crime that is committed
someone with the means of internet in virtual world that is. • Across national boundaries •
Actions carried out illegally • Huge losses • Difficult to prove legally forms of cybercrime such
as: 1. Hacking Attempt to enter a network with the aim of exploration or search for just a
network system. 2. Cracking Illegal entry a network with sud steal, change or destroy the file
in save it on the network .’

I agree, indeed social media really helps the learning process of students. We can share books
online easily and inexpensively without reducing quality. We have to keep abreast of the
times. With social media we can get information about things that have just happened, even
to register and find work now through social media. For that we must be wise in using social
media so as not to fall into bad things in cyberspace.
