Script:
Social media is a website, service, or app where people interact with each other by talking to them or just simply sharing information. It’s the simplest way to connect people since it can be found in every smartphone with access to the internet.
People argue if it’s a good or bad invention of the 21st Century since some people end up using it for other purposes other than making your life easier, but social media is more helpful than harmful.
Social media connects people who are distant from each other for whatever reason, for example, a father who is working in Japan can talk to his family in Vancouver by simply video calling them. Or this girl had to move to Italy for university and she can talk to her boyfriend in the Philippines at any time by just texting or calling him. Social media also allows people to make new friends and improve their relationships. When once you had to send a telegram, or send a letter that would take days, even weeks to get to that person you want to talk to. 93% of adults on Facebook use it to connect with family members, 91% use it to connect with current friends, and 87% use it to connect with friends from the past.
Social media also helps to spread awareness about issues quicker and to a bigger amount of people, and it can spread information faster than any other media. Even the broadcasters of other media, like 78.5% of the media reporters affirmed that they use social media to check for breaking news.
Social media can also help the businesses, it can help employers to find employees, 96% of recruiters use social media in the recruiting process, in apps like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Social media sites have created a new major industry and thousands of jobs and helped advertising companies and their services. 71% of internet users are more likely to purchase from a brand that they are following on social media.
Social media can do more good than harm, you just have to use it effectively and have it as a tool for yourself, and not let it control you.
