Is Social Media a good thing or a bad thing?

Social media is a world wide spread of communication, or entertainment. Contacting people on the web, or meeting long lost friends promote the idealized communication in our year. Nobody really notices the consequences of the cyber space when they first log in to an app or website. The click of a button, or a mean comment that just slipped under a social media user, and everything could go wrong. What may seem funny when spoken may not be as funny on the Internet, or through texting. People could get arrested, cyber bullied, charged, fail an assignment in school,or even lose their jobs.At first thought, when a user starts an account, the media provides the positive outcomes of that site, but nobody actually sees what harm could be done by a click of a key, or a picture and a couple of words. In my opinion, I don't think that social media has many good outcomes, comparing to the worse, negative outcomes.

Every day, people use social media instead of using an ordinary telephone. In our time, cyber space seems to drain out everything productive in life. This causes to produce laziness, addiction and unfinished work, (not only school work). Every time a person spends more time on the Internet, the less time their body wants to spend working. This also tunes out real life. Some people say that they apathetically answer to people, because they end up being too connected to their phones. All to include with this, is that people could get 'off track' and spend all their time socializing behind a screen, until they have no more time to finish their homework, jobs, or duties.

On the Internet, nobody knows how a comment is actually meant, behind the screen of a Internet surfer. A mean comment could be a complete joke, as the author of the comment laughs, but behind another screen, the same comment might inflict on a person in the opposite way. People could be severely bullied, if they listen to everything they read on the Internet. Usually, the cyber bully could just sit behind a screen, and potentially never get caught. Sometimes, users end up slipping the wrong word, and sending or posting a comment. The words spreads out, and nobody old actually know what the writer had meant. People could also misinterpret quotes, words or posts. Nothing that is real could actually be described the same way as by texting, posting or using any type of social media network.

The cyber space is a dangerous place to make mistakes, too. By posting pictures, or comments, people can either find something offensive, illegal, or hurtful. Some users probably forget about this important point, because they don't tend to think of what they send, as they just try to post as fast as they could. The outcome of doing something illegally in a picture, is that you could get charged, or arrested by the police. If something is extremely offencive, you will be 'known' for what you did, or by a biast opinion of what your personality is, based on what you posted on the Internet.

Lastly, I find that texting promotes bad grammar, or difficulties with human physical socialization. When a lot of people text, there is usually shorter versions of words used. Even my mother told me that I wasn't allowed to use inproper grammar in emails, but I was allowed to use improper grammar in texting. Nowadays, a lot of people spell incorrectly because of the shortened versions of proper word, making school probably harder. Also, after spending a lot of time behind a screen, they get unprepared to talk to real faces, in real life. If they spend too much time behind a screen, I think this would decrease their communication skills, in the real world. 

In my opinion, I think that social media is addictive, promotes laziness, and gets people off task. I think it provides a habit or danger that never needed to happen, such as cyber bullying. I also think that people get used to inproper grammar, and this ends up decreasing their knowledge. Sadly, people probably end up having a lower self esteem, hiding behind a screen and depending on every comment that a person posts on the Internet about therm.














But in some cases, users leave their personal information out, for a stranger to see. This could create not only easier ways to figure people out of their crimes on the Internet, or



When somebody contacts a person, the most frequent way is to text. This is much 'faster' and
