pros of social media-

for studends–

Plenty of learning and educational opportunities beyond the confinement of the classroom

Social Media helps create social communities and groups for learning, developing and collaborating on innovative ideas and products

It is a platform to interact and discuss essential chapters and topics for students and teachers alike – from the comfort of the user.

It offers to learn beyond books and assignments and connects with students and professors from other colleges/Universities.

for business–

Brand awareness enhances business visibility, thereby leveraging brand image and recognition. Also, it helps to reach out to those who may perhaps be impossible to reach out to through other sources of media

Many brands are showing up their presence on Facebook and Instagram as they boost the search engine rankings and bring a higher volume of traffic to their site.

No matter whether you are a brand or consumer, creating a profile on social media is free, and promotions of brands through these are cost-effective and time-saving.

To be an example of ‘Thought Leadership’, there is a lot more that goes into the process; the company needs to create insightful and attractive marketing content.

for society–

Social Media offers excellent connectivity experience to people irrespective of location, gender, or religion

For instance, when you come across public issues such as garbage dumped in your neighborhood, power supply absenteeism or have any complaints about civic amenities, you can get help by communicating your concern with communities and municipal corporation.

Gone are the days when we used to wake up early morning to read newspapers. With Social Media, stay up-to-date-and-live with the latest developments in and around the globe

It has become a superior medium of communication for NGOs to promote their brand, publicize the welfare activities taken up by them and to reach out to the affluent people for donations and helping the needy

cons of social media –

for students and teenager–

Although Social media has more advantages than otherwise, it reduces physical interaction among teenagers and makes them shy, lackadaisical and less interactive when they encounter family and friends face-to-face.

Being active on Social Media all the time may distract teens and students from focusing on studies and completing assignments

Despite having a volume of emojis (expression of feelings) available on keypads of your Smartphone and Tab, it’s difficult to express real feelings though machine. Hence, it made teens emotionally weak and disconnected due to lack of social engagement.

Social Media creates a barrier to face-to-face social communication among teens and students; and, as you always doubt if the expressions of the opposite person are authentic, the quality of communication on social media is harrowing simply because you cannot sense their emotions.

for business –

Irrespective of whether it is weekday or week off, content marketing on social media needs daily monitoring to ensure the sentiments of the consumer are not hurt

Though cost-effective and time-saving, it carries the risk of bullying and harassment from unhappy customers and negative forces

Negative feedback and negative word-of-mouth communication could create a bad image about the brand in the eyes of the potential customers

Misleading content on Social Media can compel the consumer to sue the label in court

While the users online are active, businesses need additional human resources to track their behavior, respond to their queries and ensure timeless engagement with them.
