Social Media has transformed the way in which the world communicates and has made the globe more interconnected than ever. As such, it is unimaginable as to how the world would operate without the existence of social media that has amalgamated into our daily lives.
Although the excessive use of social media does have various disadvantages such as those mentioned in the article, its benefits certainly does outweigh its limitations. Personally, I feel that social media is not a necessary evil if utilized appropriately and with limits.
In the article, “How Social Media Has Changed Us: The Good and The Bad”, the author mentions how social media has not only become an integral part of our lifestyle, but also a convenient tool for various businesses. He not only paints a positive picture of social media, but pinpoints its negative shades as well.
I agree with his point as to how social media has provided businesses with more opportunities to reach a global audience. This would not have been possible in the past and small businesses would have taken many years to attain the global reach that businesses are at present. Additionally, companies are also using social media sites such as LinkedIn for recruitment. Social Media has also played a key role in numerous companies’ marketing campaigns as well as customer service.
