What are the drawbacks of social media?

• A lot of people get addicted to social media. They post each and every second details of their life on social sites.
• Terrorist groups use social as a weapon to mislead youngsters by spreading wrong messages to influence their way of thinking in a negative manner.
• Social media spreads rumours.
• They destroy marriages by providing covert connections with others that lead to infidelity.
• The excess usage of social media have a negative impact on the health. Since exercise is the key to lose weight, most of the people get lazy because of the excessive use of social networking sites. Which in result brings disorder in the routine life. Excessive use of social media leads to depression.
• Social media cause users to spend less time outdoors and to be less active.

In short: It DEPENDS

I guess education researrch, policy and teachers will have to see into this important subject soon. Or they already see into it.

Overall social media have strong advantages (familiar and interesting for learners, information resources etc).

Perhaps schools should emphasize on preparing learners on how to use social media prudently.

This requires the appropriate:

1) Knowledge (what is social media, what benefits and risks they carry).

2) Skills (critical thinking, communication).

3) Attitudes (be positive, confident and cautious)

It depends on how it is used. For many people it is a boon. Through it the information and updates can be shared with the loved ones and their friends whenever and wherever you want. But if someone becomes addicted to it then it becomes a bane.

I agree with Dr Arvind Singh points.

Following

Connecting the words social and media is a fast conclusion. It depends on the human results: does it bring people closer together or does it disconnect more. Using media for social connections does require a higher level of communication skills than communicating directly; it is not only about pressing technically buttons. Always consider the other end of the communication channel.

Social media is a boon for students when used correctly by students other wise it is a bane.

I agreed with Dr Arvind Singh & Dr. Nabeel Hameed Al-Saati

Social media is a boon for students but it is them who have transformed it into a bane and have no idea about it.

I agree with all my colleagues

Depends on the nature of the use of the student sometimes useful and others Mo wasted time and return to the student .. And agree with my colleagues ...

Greetings

Social media is so interesting and useful to millions of people all over the world. Students can access information in all fields of knowledge and thus it is a boon for them. However, it can be turned into a bane by them if it is in similar way to using games.

There is no doubt that these sites are of great importance, especially in terms of media, advertising, and other aspects, but there are many risks facing them, including the elimination of many of the social characteristics that distinguish people from others. Students use communication sites, especially this media decreased distance and made the exchange of information easy and fast Which allows access to any blog or any study and even any scientific research or invention with absolute ease and this enhances personal diligence and hard work for better results as we should not deny the benefits of the means of communication, and know how to use them in ways that serve the community and reached the goal of Without any actions detrimental to the interests of others, and of course we must be careful and attention and educate our students who yearn for a promising future.

Both, it depends on student and his family how to watch that.

In fact, the impact of social media not only on students but also on all people can be positive as well as negative. Generally speaking, its advantages, in my opinion, are more beneficial and helpful than its disadvantageous. Students are supposed to be matured and educated so it is a boon to them.

Stimulating discussion that provoked challenging and informative comments from our RG colleagues

It has many benefits and disadvantages and depends on the person's culture.

Social media is boon or bane depends upon the student to student.

Social media is good but it depends how it is used.

It depends on how we use it.

Thanks to all RG members for their Animating discussion and enlightening. This will really prove beneficial.

back to about 2 decades when the internet was a presitige and something that few possesed. the only source of information was the book and transfer was only through the paper and pen.

smart phone was not available for most of them and no apps like twitter or WA.

the time spent was mostly on travel or in movies or with friends and had bulit a bondage with one another.

enter the world of social media though it made the world smaller it also has made the relations smaller and shorter and bonds weaker.

weaker memory and weaker thought process and also a weak tolerance .

inastant transfer of knowledge may be both useful and at the same time harmful .

i feel there should abe balance for both. enrich your mind by hard work and rely on your mind than depending on the smart phones which can hbe hacked

When you talk about social media, I imagine that you talk about social networks, in that case, depends on the use of it, in my case, I do to inform me of general culture, events, research, etc; That's why I use only very reliable sources.

It is boon in context to the varoius benefits but misuse/ overuse is the major drawback of it. Young minds get diverted sometimes with fake religion-related or some issue-related news.

Information is always forerunner to 'Justice' & efficient Inertia via social platform is always a driving force in 'Democracy'

Freedom of Speech & Expression, Inherent Fundamental Right with citizens, implicitly responsibility on the shoulders & express meaning that Donot take freedom of 'Others'.

'Objectivity' under ideology is 'Boon' & 'Subjectivity' via social media may be 'Boon' or 'Bane'

Through social networking I encourage 'Objectivity'

Thank you Dr. Satyaprasad Venkata , Ivan David Lozada Martinez, Dr. Prabhjot Kaur & Dr. Pankaj Tomar for your active contribution.

It may be boon and at the same time ban depended on how the person used it
