Times have evolved over the years and has become a lot more advanced, especially when it comes to technology. When it comes to social media we all have access to it! It’s right at our fingertips with our cell phones whenever we want to use it. I’m sure we all can agree that people use social media in different ways.
Positive Ways To Use Social Media:
-Networking
-Building a Personal and/or Business Brand
-Inspiring
-Enhancing Communication
-Reviewing and Sharing Views-Debate
-Access Knowledge–Faster Awareness to News going on around the world
Negative Ways To Use Social Media:
-Cyberbullying: hiding behind a keyboard bullying others
-Social Comparison: comparing your life to someone else’s
-Hiding Behind Social Media: pretending to be someone you’re not
-Financial Information: stealing other’s information
-Distracting: If you’re spending a lot of time on social media and not accomplishing goals
If social media is used irresponsibly it could potentially affect someone in a negative way. It can damage one’s self-esteem; when one isn’t mentally strong enough to consume certain content it could trigger something.
When it comes to anything you choose to indulge in you should look to use it in a positive light. The main thing around karma; what you put out 9/10 will come back 10 fold. So the next time you’re on social media do something that will help make the world a better place; not something that is used to boost your ego.
