IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA
First: Evaluation of personal interaction with social media
I have accounts in all the social media as this helps me in getting attached with my
friends and allows to get information regarding the ongoing issues in the world. The main
objective behind using the social media platform is to stay updated with current news so that it
becomes easy to obtain knowledge regarding the activities that is going on within the world. No I
haven’t used Google search for searching my name.
Second: Influence of social media
With the growing needs of technologies it has been observed that the use of social media
has increased immensely. Social media has transformed widely over the years. This has changed
the way friends are treated and interacted. The social media platform is considered as one the
platform that allows the user to connect with the friends who are miles apart. This also offers
wide range of features for communicating with the friends. However the use of social media has
reduced the face to face interaction. In my social media account there are many friends, however
personally I know limited number of person in real. Among all this I have few close friends that
can be counted in figures. For considering an individual to be a close friend it is essential to
spend maximum time period of our lives with them. Without knowing in real life it becomes
difficult to make close friends. Face to face interaction has effected widely with the use of
Facebook. Thus there is a need to get engage in real life with the friends so that it becomes easy
to know them. The effect can be considered to be negative on a large scale because this has
hampered the way communication used to take place when there was no social media. However
this platform also helps in connecting with the people who are miles apart in real life.

Third: Impacts of technology
Technology has evolved in different forms that has helped in gaining insight of the
incident that takes place around the world. The use of technology has made the users careful,
however they have become very lazy. It has been observed that people has grown more
narcissistic with the use of social media platforms. There is a need to ensure that the individual
are focusing on portraying the real identity rather than to pretend like someone else. The
technology can hamper the sense of self accomplishment. Thus every individual should protect
their own identity and worth so that they never compromise for becoming someone who they are
not in real. This will help in improving the condition of society and will ensure that people are
praised and loved for their real one. The insecurities among the people can be reduced if they
tries to improve themselves as a human being rather than comparing with others. This will
improve the self-satisfaction rate and will also improve the mental state of the users. Thus with
an efficient knowledge it will become easy to manage the stability.
