Social media is slaying Society & Individuals


 The social media sites and its pros are in abundance. Its availability has allowed us to stay in contact with our loved ones near and far. We are able to stay in touch with the changing world or find out the worlds opinion to the question on or mind.
According to Cornell University's Steven Strogatz, social media sites can make it more difficult for us to distinguish between the evocative relationships
we foster in the real world, and the numerous spontaneous relationships formed through social media. By spending and driving so much of our time and energy on related activities and establishing these meaningful relationships resulting in the weakening of connection which really matter in life.

The readily availability of these site is not only to the most creative of minds but also to the people who corrupt the very existence of humanity. Especially Kids are most vulnerable to the drill of cyber-bullying in which the perpetrators, anonymously or even posing as people their victims trust, terrorize individuals in front of their peers. The devastation of these online attacks can leave deep mental scars.

Most of the businesses also direct a large amount of their efforts to get a strong foothold by using these sites yet it has proved to be a great distraction to employees who are more interested in finding updated about their social circle rather than the task at hand.

The most affected aspect of such sites relate to the privacy of a individual. Now a days if you want to find out what is happening in the life of individual all you need to do is to read the latest post or status on their page; the things they post remain available indefinitely. Intimate details of our lives is available for all the world to see yet we find it difficult to discuss with our loved ones.

Browsing these sites can make you feel connected to a larger community, but such easy, casual connection in an electronic environment can also have its downside.
