Envisioning a world away from Social media – An interesting debatable topic!
Our daily life revolves around social media. In these current times this has become essential for everyone. How about envisioning a world without social media? Would it affect human lifestyle?
News, entertainment and education is provided through various platforms. This is my utopian version of a world without social media:
We will start remembering our loved one’s birthdays without the notifications from facebook. Calling or visiting our loved ones to spend quality time with them, would bring a broad smile across everyone’s face! Cyber crime would cease and the world would become a better place to live in.
Most of us have almost forgotten the word ‘privacy’ after the usage of facebook and other apps and our private life would remain PRIVATE. Everyone in this world will be able to maintain great mental and physical health. Misinformation and spreading of fake news would reduce drastically. Am sure everyone would agree to this!
Let’s take a look at the other side of the coin:
Access to information might be a challenge as almost anything and everything depends on social media-We will be disconnected from the world especially during tough times like this pandemic.Social media is a great platform helping us create new relationships irrespective of age, ideas and geographical barriers; which is considered as having a better social life. It also allows us to share and showcase our opinions, thoughts and ideas to the world.
Social media has created amazing opportunities and lends a great exposure to learn new things!
It depends upon how it is being used. Let’s filter the negativity,use it in the right way and enjoy its benefits!
