Question

Essay on would you prefer the world with or without social media

Answer 1

I would prefer a world with social media, provided that it is not misused. Social media has a lot of benefits.

1.    It allows effective networking between people and organizations, making it easier for people to access useful information.

2.    Social media helps people communicate, irrespective of the distance. For instance, a person who is working abroad can see pictures and updates from his/her family back home.

3.    Social media has empowered the common man. Since one can use the platform to voice one’s opinion, even an ordinary citizen can reach out to the higher government officials. Some ministers are known to respond to pleas of help sent to them on social media.

4.    Social media plays a very important role in raising awareness. Campaigns garner tremendous support on social media, thus bringing many issues into the limelight.

 

Social media thus, has the ability to improve our lives drastically. However, it needs to be used wisely.

Answer 2

               How would the world look without social media?

 

I would never prefer a world without social media. It would be a slow and uninteresting world! The IT revolution has made the world so convenient, full of ease, and smart. Everything is so easily available. Be it any information related to anything, be it buying online, be it booking any ticket online, everything is so quick and time saving.

 

Everything is available on social networking sites and platforms. There is not a single sphere or walk of life where social networking and media are not being used! Education, industry, finance, defense, teaching, learning, research, medicine, accounting, entertainment, internet, online teaching, telecommunication, media, and space research and exploration. It is internet and computer everywhere.

 

Internet and computers have created such an order in every field. They are so adroitly efficient in data storing and handling. They have made man's life much more organized, systematic, simple, colourful, and awesomely efficient. Experts and skilled personnel in all spheres are using social networking and media. From ticket booking to e-banking; from online shopping to e-learning; from working online to receiving emoluments for the work done online; from receiving your medical diagnosis reports to paying your income tax online, almost everything is being done using help of social networking and media.

 

I would like to narrate a personal experience in this context. Recently, I got an opportunity to direct a play for the school. After giving them training in dialogue and acting, I had to take my team of actors to a sound recording studio. I found the address of a sound recording studio using goggle search engine. After getting the recording done (which took almost five hours) we went back to our respective homes. The sound recording manager sent me the processed sound track through e-mail. It could be done only because of the social networking and media exchange facilities available on internet.

 

In conclusion, it can be said that social networking and media exchanges portals have made our life so smart and convenient. The progress of the civilization will be slowed down considerably in the absence of social media.
