“Adverse Impacts of Social Media"
 

Social media has seen a dramatic development in the past decade. Twitter and Facebook have grown a lot quicker and made a base of millions of users. If the technology continued to expand in this manner, then more and more people will be willing to grasp its advantages in later years. However, there is also a downside to technology. Social media impacts the society in the adverse way too. Though social media help you connect easily with the whole world, the increased tendency of comparing with others makes them feel left out or inferior than others. Excessive use of social media makes one socially isolated and lonely than those who are not a frequent user of this technology. It causes them substance use, aggressive behavior and depression. It is also observed that excessive use of social networks cause anxiety, depression, and mental illness in people. It adversely impacted their entire well-being too. Social media allows full liberty to users to speak and write what their heart says. Any negative comment from any user can harm the overall reputation of a business in just a few second. Social networking is an instant and convenient communication channel that only requires a smart phone with a good internet connection. Due to increased communication via social media, there is seen a decline in face to face interaction between people. Such online interaction has lowered the authenticity and quality of relationships between people. When people have all the right to write about any other person, institution, or personality, they can even misuse this right to harm the reputation and image of others. This is seen in the form of cyber bullying. Social media has been seen to make people susceptible to depression and reduced social skills.
