Social media have became a part of our everyday lives. Everyone has an account on a social medium. Globally, millions of people spend hours upon hours chatting on Instagram or Facebook. Personally, I spend two hours per day chatting or seeing what others are up to.
A lot of people believe that social media are time wasting and dangerous. It’s true that there are a lot of more helpful and important things that we could do instead of scrolling on social media. We could read books or spend more time studying. On school days I finish my homework and then I log on Instagram. I understand why some people believe that social media are dangerous and even harmful in some situations. especially for young kids who can be easily tricked by someone older. This is dangerous because the other person could still a lot of personal information such as address, phone number or even Bank codes.
On the other hand social media can help someone find new friends as you can see what the others like and you can chat with them. Furthermore, they can inform you because you can follow newspapers or magazines. You can socialize and find a lot of interesting and funny things to watch. With 2 hours per day I can do all of these and also have time for studying.
In conclusion social media have both advantages and disadvantages but when you use them in the right way without getting addicted they are interesting or even helpful.
