Social media

With the boom of technology, social media are taking lots of space in the digital arena. These days,we find it surprising when we hear an urban youth not connected with facebook or twitter.

Social media such as facebook, twitter, blogs, etc are playing dominant role in web world. People would not have been using internet 24/7, had there been no social media.Earlier it was used for getting connected with each other but now it is used for marketing and promotion of certain products or services. Corporate houses, which used to block these sites, has started making it the default pages. It was internet that had made the world so small, global village but now, these media has made it more smaller and easier to get connected with each other.

Facebook has benefited to individuals and organizations. It has not only helped to promote ideas or products, but also has worked to generate revenue. But as the saying goes ,'good things come with bad ones', it has brought lots of problems alongwith. Though it is banned for children below 13, they are still using it. Afterall its the virtual world, who would come and check the age of the user. Besides, it has also raised the question of identity. It is not always true that the user name is real. It has also created crimes.

Everything has positive and negative effects. It depends on us to choose the right or wrong ones.
