Social networks: advantages and disadvantages

In today's world, we are surrounded by new technologies everywhere. All aspects of our life are connected with them. One of them is social networks. They have many advantages that can help us in everyday life, but at the same time there are disadvantages. First of all, they help you communicate with other people. The first word in the name is «social». This means that they are created for communication. We can easily send a message anywhere in the world in a few seconds. We can do this via SMS, video chat, voice chat. They are also free.

Secondly, it is in the 21st century that people began to forget about such sources of information as radio, television, and Newspapers. Creating all these types of information sources takes a long time.

However, if you try to find the "hot" news, you will find out what just happened. More and more people forget about markets and stores in real life. More and more people are moving from real business to online business. This is the best news for business owners, as they can switch to an online social media platform. This way, owners can save money and get customer feedback. On the other hand, social media can harm our lives. The first drawback is a waste of time.

According to statistics, each person spends about 6.5 hours a day using a mobile phone. At the same time, for a normal life, a person needs about 4 hours of sleep. In addition, we may see personal information or illegal content on social networks that should not be posted online. Currently, social networks share various information with us: images, videos, and music.

One of the main disadvantages of social networks is information garbage. Anyone can easily publish any news without any control and censorship. And many people will see this message thanks to social networks in a matter of minutes.

In conclusion, I want to say that social networking, like the rest of the world has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, today social networks are irreplaceable.
