Social media is one of those things that you know that will live with us for many years. Just 20 years ago the idea of talking to someone that is in another continent in a videocall sounded impossible, but now, it is something completely normal. There are some advantages when we use social media: talk with your friends, make new friends accordingly to your preferences, share your likes in forums like Reddit, share memes on Facebook, have discussions on Twitter and share whatever you do on Instagram. The biggest disadvantage is that we have become so dependent on this social media. When we wake up, the first thing that we do is checking our smartphone, and when we go to sleep, we do it watching a video or Netflix.
Nowadays, it is normal to see children using smartphones. They record dances that they see on TikTok, use discord when they play games like Roblox or Among Us. Sharing personal information is dangerous, but adults know who they are sharing their personal information with, they know the web pages that are unsafe and how to avoid bad people, children don’t. An adult is aware of the consequences that may have sharing a routine and the people they care about.
The advantages of course outweigh the disadvantages, because the problems are easy to avoid do not share your info with people that you do not know. You can select and limit who sees your information in places like Facebook, use another name, only add your friends. And of course teaching children of how to use social media, take care of them or, just do not allow them to use it alone.
