The era of Social Media

March 9, 2018 11:03pm CST
It can't be denied the power of social nowadays. The advantages of having it, that be proven in different situation. The use of give us the power and responsibility of our own action, and sometimes even our opinion. The social media can be powerful in many different ways, in how we use it, may depend our own perception of the freedom and power that social media given us. If we look our generation before were less social media and more physical interaction than this time we can't say we are more successful today. We are in the time were everything is within our reach, when we can communicate our love ones, just one call away, when we can sell our products over the world without leaving at home, to name few of the advantages. With the saying goes "great power comes with great responsibility", it takes lot of it in order to maximize its advantages and of course having too much of it is dangerous.

Hi. Social media, per se, is good. But the very fact that it is misused and abused is something not beneficial to us. Social media is supposed to empower us, not to drag us to our gadgets and make it our life. We are actually victims of our own technology because of the things we have been doing. Sad but true.

In everything, there is a good and bad effect..it only depends upon us on how we handle it, on how we limit ourselves. We should be the one in control not technology controling us...
