The Pros And Cons Of Social Media

Hey everyone

The past couple of days I have working with social media quite a lot and have discovered the good things as well as the not so good things about it. So that is why I decided to write a blog post on social media.

Lets start with the cons;

I have found that with social media, you never know who you are socialising with or who is following you, they could be a legit person or they could be a stalker. If you haven’t put your account onto private, anybody can see your private information which is not a very good thing. Bullies can post really inappropriate things about somebody else and really hurt their feelings or make them feel very self conscious. People can hack into your account and pretend to be you.

There are a lot more cons to social media, but I don’t want to put you guys off social media all together.

Here are the pros of social media.

If you are running a business, social media is a very good way to put yourself out there and reach potential clients. You could make new friends or connect with people that you haven’t seen in a really long time, my sister got in contact with someone she used to go to school with and they are now best friends. Social media gives you a chance to educate people in a completely different way. If you are a student, you can follow other students or education pages to learn more. You can also get recruited by colleges based on the videos and images you post on social media. Just by stating your opinion on a blog, you could help a lot of people.

For me, there are more pros then cons where social media is concerned, it would just take me all day to type out all of the pros, so I just named a few.

Thank you for reading my blog post, tomorrow I have a really cool post that I will be making, so tune in tomorrow to read my next blog post. Don’t forget that if you have any comments on the posts that I make, then you can just comment on either this blog post or any other blog post, or you could comment on my Facebook page.
