▶ Your Answer : Being one of the best technological feats of the 21st century, social networking service has obviosuly influenced man's living standards in many ways. The litigious issue is frequently talked about. Unsurprisingly, people from different walks of life put different interpretations on the same issue. Logically, social media provides both positive effect such as people are able to get along with each other better than before, and negative impact such as human beings can get a fear and horror.
One of the key reasons is that people can spend time with each other more than before because they talk and share their experiences through social networks. To illustrate my point, when I was a junior high school student, I started Facebook, which is one of the social media in the 21st century due to the attraction of it from my friend. I had few friends in reality. However, I met a host of online users. After that, we became rapidly close by the chat-room and talked about our daily lives that were related to happiness or personal relationship probelms. Due to these facts, there is no doubt that social media gives a chance to communicate effectively.
Another important aspect of this is people who have a profit on any social network are able to get a fear because their almost daily activities are revealed to others. In a recent research conducted by the Social Habit by Edison Research, it stated that 58.2% of Twitter users didn't feel safe. This is because their small activities and memorial or large events could be showed to different online users negatively. It had a bad influence on many people, especially writiers. This is not an isolated incident, similar research was conducted in many other Asian countries such as Japan and Taiwan and the results were similar for the same reasons. In this sense, it is undeniable that social network services can bring us negative impacts in terms of views.
In a word, it is apparent for us to conclusively say that social networking service provides both optimistic outcome such as people can get along with each other better than before, and pessimistic influence such as human beings can get a fear and horror. However, people must remember that everything is Janus-faced, so moderation should be practised. |
