Internet social media have become very popular. To what extent do you think this is a good or bad thing? Why do you think this is the case? v.4

In the current internet age, it would be virtually impossible to find a person not on any social media. This has led to us being closely connected to our friends and families even if we are separated by over thousands of kilometers. I agree that the advantages of social media far outweigh the disadvantages. Man is a social animal, he yearns for human contact and interaction. Social media has allowed us to get in touch with our friends and family in a matter of seconds by a simple click on the screen. This has proved to be a mental support to a lot of people who work or study far away from their dear ones. Especially in these trying times of quarantine, where all human contact is banned, social media proves to be the only medium of communication for these people. It is hard to imagine being in quarantine without having access to such media which makes sure that even in solitude you are never truly alone. Social media also provides a means for talented people to showcase their arts, gain recognition and even earn a steady income. Owing to these social media websites, most people open themselves and at times, sensitive information to certain people who might use it adversely. That said, most websites do not force their users to put a lot of information and the websites that make certain information mandatory often allow their users to control the visibility of the infomation. This means users can choose whether to share their information at all, and if they choose to share their information they can decide with whom they wanna share it. However, there exist people who are so well-versed in computer skills that they can bypass the security of these websites and make the hidden information available to them. We all have at least once heard in our lifetime heard stories of famous personalities becoming a victim to these hacks. These hackers often gain access to financial and personal content that the original owner does not intend to share with the world. A great example that is fresh in my memory is of a young 8-year old kid sending his mother's credit card details to a middle aged man posing a kid. This man then emptied the mother's account but he was soon caught and put behind bars. From both these examples it is clear that despite the numerous advantages that social media possesses, the risk of attacks on our sensitive is always prevalent. However, this can be easily avoided by engaging in safe browsing, using specially built applications that track the information you enter and simply following certain precautions while using a new website. In conclusion, social media, if used correctly can prove to be an excellent tool that can prove instrumental in humanity's evolution. There is also a need of being careful while selecting who we share our information with.
