Social media can fall into two different categories. Those two categories include negative and positive positions. Depending on your age category the options may vary for different reasons. For example, a 17-year-old is still in school so while homework is supposed to be being done they are on social media texting friends on posting pictures. While a 17-year-old uses social media as a distraction a 69-year-old may be done with school and work and are bored with their life and turn to social media for a reason to still go on. Those are both examples of the categories of social media that I made up, but now I will talk about the articles on Newsella.
Many negative consequences are included when it comes to social media and the articles on Newsella prove this point. One thing that I think is bad about social media is the fact that it can have the ability to access many things you do online. Like who you associate with and what you look up to. I know this because in the article named What social media platforms and search engines know about you
it says " Google, Yahoo, and Bing gather all information involving searches including the websites that are accessed and the location of the user".This shows how creepy social media can be and knowing things like this can be dangerous to people especially when someone's location is known which is also included in this same article." Anything you share or consult, the identity of your friends and any other users you interact with, your location and other information".This proves my point as well on how social media is bad knowing someone's location is information that should be kept secret.
Even though there are many negative consequences from social media, positive ones still come from social media. In this paragraph I will be using the article named Negative, positive effects of excessive social media use on teens studied. " It can help them find social support when they are struggling with life issues, and it can provide them with a place where they can express themselves". This Is one of the beneficial reasons social media helps people life issues is something everyone goes through and different people have different ways of coping with it and it appears some people use social media as a way to cope with issues." Some teens can build real friendships with people they only know through social media".Sometimes making friends in real life is hard but on social media, for others it is easier leading to other friends online that they can talk to about their problems.
These are my reason from the newsella articles of how social media can have both negative and positive consequences.
