70. Social Media

Social media is coming up as a major thing in the present. One can’t neglect its importance, its relevance or even its presence. There’s an entire generation of people on social media and it’s affecting everything, social media, it’s contents as well as people.

People now find ways to socialize through social media, a lot of people even try to fetch friends, social validation, happiness out of social media, but is it for real? There is a various number of web/social media that are existing. The most popular ones are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Instagram is beaming amongst the youth these days, Facebook is also a thing. But the more fashionable thing of this age seems to be Instagram. 

We see people walking through the crowds, standing in the metros checking their phone screens, gaping at other people’s stories on Instagram, WhatsApp, whatsoever. People have immersed themselves in social media and have begun to live a life only for it. 

Social media has brought people closer together on one platform, the virtual space adds up to people’s lives and gives them a free, accessible, mobile space to express themselves. 

People are more inclined towards possessing things, acquiring the desirable figure, clothes, making more money and over all of it showing it off. Social media has made people more flamboyant and pompous. 

Sadly, social media is also affecting the psyche of people. People are more socially anxious and have become restricted in terms of real social interaction. The virtual space has opened them up and shut down their urge to socialize in real space. There’s nothing wrong with using social media, but people fail to strike a balance between the two.
