Hi! I’m back with a new blog post. Let’s get started without further ado.
Today’s blog title might seem unusual and uncanny because it is that way. We all know that social media is a bane and how adversely it deteriorates our lives but then I thought that amidst all the discussions and debates about its ill-effects we surely can put spotlight on the brighter side of it.
1.Helps in interaction
This is very obvious that social media helps us to connect with people from any nook and cranny. It also enables us to catch up with our long-lost friends and at the same time, to make new friends.
2.Source of inspiration
Sometimes, seeing people showcasing their productive routines drives us to do the same and do something that makes us feel accomplished and fulfilled. Although at times, we do feel envious or we tend to have FOMO but still a lot of times we also get boosted with motivation to chase our goals and kick-start our journey for reaching them.
3. Evokes positive feelings
This usually occurs when we consume positive and feel-good content. If you see a cat video or a pic of a baby you find it adorable and that feeling you get at the moment is ineffably warm or if you see a hilarious snippet of a stand-up video you tend to laugh and that’s a good thing. But such feelings won’t obviously arise when you watch a clothing haul or a fake happy pic or someone showcasing their luxurious life. That would rather do the opposite.
4. It educates us
Most important benefit that social media offers is that it edifies us. We tend to become more aware of a plethora of things. We can watch a makeup tutorial, ways to pull an all-nighter or a video on a scientific research. There is a great deal of information available on social media.
5. Helps us to support various campaigns
This too is very advantageous for everyone. Social media helps us to engage in many campaigns and protests. The biggest example is the unprecedented era of Covid. A lot of people were using their social media profiles to help people by posting stories about available beds, oxygen cylinders etc. and many were even spreading positivity and tips to stay calm in such times. Currently too, people have started using social media as a tool to support other fellows, to raise their voice against unfair practices and demand justice for anybody who is suffering or not being served right.
6. Helps many businesses and startups to grow
Social media is filled with business profiles. It acts as a medium for the businesses and organizations to expand their influence and it also helps the customers to reach out to companies which offer products and services that they want.
There can be more plus-points too. We just need to utilize social media in a way that we get all the benefits and we try to evade the downfalls. We just need to be wise enough to get a positive outcome.
Make benefit out of social media, don’t be its slave!
