The Duality of Social Media: Its Impact on My Life.
It's the Afri-Inleo prompt day 11, which was postulated by the Inleo community, and in conjunction with the digital lifestyle community, #septemberinleo decided to join the prompt today to share my thoughts on today's topic, which says pros and cons of social media in your life. We all know that social media is one of the greatest things that has happened to the human race, and it has been good, even if it has its own faults too. It is still helping and serving its purpose, no matter what we can face with it, and the way we use it will determine what results we will get from it.
For instance, someone who uses social media for an advertisement placement of the market that he or she sells sticks to the plan of driving a lot of people on social media to their page and making sure that they see what he or she is posting every day and at every angle on social media. Tell me how such a business will not thrive because you have used social media to create a lot of awareness for people there to see, and trust me, social media is one of the best tools you can use to gain the hearts of many people because you do not need to have a stand-up conversation to get their heart to you.
Now, talking about the pros and cons of social media in my life, social media has actually been in existence before many of us could realize that it existed. This time I am talking about the real usage of social media because we might just be seeing it and not knowing what it is. Social media has really helped me in so many ways, which I cannot really remember because it has not become part of my life, and I really rely on it because it really gives me the best result I want.
Some of the pros of social media in my life are that it helps me network with a lot of people from the convenience of my room. Imagine just sitting at home, having a business running, and having your social media do the magic for you when you do not have to stress yourself and all you do is get a data connection to stay active. Social media has helped me to be more creative by checking out new innovations online and learning from them. Social media is by far the best and fastest source of information for me, which is from a reliable source. There is some information you will never hear on TV, radio, or other sources, but social media will bring it all together.
Some of the cons of social media in my life are that it is very addictive and can be time-consuming. I could remember stopping to visit Facebook some time ago when I saw that I spent almost all of my precious time checking out reels and laughing. Well, it's good to be happy, but once you have things at stake to do, one should not jeopardize that time for fun. As far as you can get information online with social media, false information can be easily spread too, and then it moves around so fast until the right source shows up.
Social media has its good side and also its bad side, just like I said before and now, it all depends on what you want it to be in your life and how you want to take it. Social media can make one's life miserable if you use it in the wrong direction. Choose wisely what you want social media to do for your life. And also, think wisely before choosing. @leogrowth/monthly-prompts-september-inleo-b5u?referral=leogrowth. Here, is the link for you to join the #septemberinleo.

You have come from an amazing perspective @the-lead. Social media has got so many advantages but sometimes its disadvantages can cost us more than we can imagine...
Yeah, my friend. That's very correct. We just have to use it wisely for our own good.
👍
👌👌👌👌
Personally, I think social media has done a lot good to me because I remember getting a job online of which it was profitable but then it is majorly used in a negative way than the positive side. ☹️
Yeah, you are correct. Social can make one's life and mar it, if it is not used well. I am happy you were able to get something good from social media.
