Social media is said to be a smoking gun because privacy is dead here. Social media is to focus on being social instead of how to do social. It definitely has its pros and cons, but it depends on an individual how much they tend to see the brighter side of it rather than adapting the wrong way of using the social media. Websites like, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, etc. are designed to help people find their friends or post something realistic and knowledgeable that can help other people or your followers. These applications are developed for us to learn and teach what is good or bad to our kids but not let them rule over these apps while they are at their learning stage.

The biggest misuse of these social platform is when parents these days handover their mobile phones to their children so that they don’t disturb them. Why can’t you spend some time with them and play, teach them the games you ever played in your childhood? Did we ever use a phone to play with? In fact we never had such technology and these days when technology has been increasing tremendously we misuse it by spoiling the habit of our child and later we would be only one to scold them as well for not spending time with us when we need them but remember when they needed your time, you were busy with household work or office work and other chaos. These things can let your child go away from you and not realize what family means, what actually being together, spending time and talking to each other feels. Online games, social media are for five minutes refreshment, do not make it a habit that you can never come out of and see what actually world looks like or how beautiful is to just sit beside someone and have a tea/coffee or just spend an hour doing something which makes you feel happy without technology.

Connect to new people online, increase your connections but get some help or increase your knowledge out of it, don’t post unnecessary things or don’t try to publicize your personal life. Let your personal life stay indoors, why make it a publicity platform and create a fake fame. There are many people who create issues internally after seeing some nice pictures and reading stories of their connections who had travelled to some exotic place, had a great meal at some 5-star hotel and so on. Do you even know their inside story? Have you ever thought they might just had an argument and then left for dinner just to make things normal or they might have been through rough life for a long period and just to relax they would have been to that place for a short vacation. Why does this question arise that see he/she is doing so much but partner is not. See his friend travelled miles just to give a birthday surprise but here my friend does not even talk to me properly? Why these comparisons?

Everyone has their own way to keep the other happy. Little things as I said in my earlier blog are exactly these. One might not travel miles but they would love to just pick you up from work though the direction is completely opposite to theirs, appreciate that. One might not like expensive dinners but would just love to make something special at home and decorate the place just like an exotic place outside. Appreciate that! On screen movies are always good to watch, behind the scenes is something we never come across. So never believe on the personal posts and make an issue or a topic to argue with someone or compare your own life. You cannot judge anyone by just seeing or listening to something. Remember half knowledge is always dangerous and sometimes what you see or what you hear may not be 100% true.

Understand the importance of social media instead of creating a chaos in life because of it. The concept of creating a social platform is to share, connect and give information and content to million others. It is a great education tool. Cyber bulling, scams, addiction, relationship frauds, frauds, lack of family life, all these are the biggest disadvantages of social media and these are been created by the public itself. Social media can help many noble causes run by NGO’s and other welfare societies. It can create awareness for many crimes happening in our world these days. Live lectures have come up for real life situations and we can learn from it too. Many online applications have come up for children to study and learn. Millions of users use social media on daily basis with advantages of it, they also bring hazards.

Relationships have become harder these days because conversations become texting, arguments become phones calls, and feelings become status updates. Don’t compare your life to others, we do not know what they have been through and believe in yourself. Do not make your life a social status or a publicity platform to get fame and followers. Do something great by which people know you and come to you for help. You are responsible to what you post and everything you post will be a reflection of you. Instead of focusing on how many likes you have got on your picture, concentrate on your imaginations and how to convert them in reality. Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing, do not randomly post anything and everything that you come across.

PS: Don’t make the best moments of your life a Social Media.
