Pros and cons of social media

Social media has become one of the largest platforms today, even bigger than electronic and print media. It has no limitations and you do not need to take permission from any authorities to disclose any kind of information, story, etc. Sometimes it is very informative and beneficial but sometimes it also gives a lot of misinformation and misconceptions, which is difficult to identify.

There is another aspect of social media, which is a cause for concern. Social media has highly consumed society, especially young users who constantly use the platform throughout the day. They do not spend time with their families, even when they are in a social gathering.

We are now losing our values and creating distances among ourselves owing to the heavy use of social media in our daily lives. But, unfortunately, no one seems to be worried about this medium that has been wrecking our culture. We should not let this happen and lose our loved ones in the process. I am not against the use of social media but there should be limit to its usage.
