 (Introduction)About more than two-thirds of an
internet users use social media, its like no 1 activity
on the web
 Social media plays enormous role in our daily life

businessman or a employee you can’t get anywhere
without this because nowadays all of communication
is done through social networking sites

barrier that we early had with this powerful tool we
can talk to any person living anywhere on the planet
 (Social networking sites)Websites and application
that enables user to create and share content or to
participate in social networking
 They could be complete waste of time or buildup of
knowledge or skills depending on the users that how
they use but most of time it is only used for
entertaining purposes so it leads it to negative effect

and every action that you do that could be very
dangerous could know easily about your private life

out) in this the person always want to listen to other
people that what they want to say all the time
 Getting duped on social media like scammers trick
you into download malicious software or visit certain
sites
 (Our role)The lack of proper communication (like
facial expressions and gestures) leads to fight and
depression
 (pessimistic)Expecting bad things always like seeing
only bad news can also cause you to think differently
against the real facts
 People think of others as very bad or very good
judging them just on that particular action but that is
not the case
 We don’t have a choice
on whether we DO social media,
the question is how well we DO it.”
- Erik Qualman

daily life because it is used most of time in our daily
routine and it depicts the mentality that we get
from, it
 Obviously it has more harms than good which
include society problems and individuals as well
 What can be done, we should prevent ourselves

from harms on social networking sites by limiting


amount of time and by confronting negative
thoughts (creating awareness)
