Positive Effects of Social Media
Social networking sites allow people to communicate and remain in contact with friends as well as meet new people. These sites allow people to find others with similar interests that they can create a relationship with and get to know one another. Groups can be joined or formed to meet people with similar interests, and views. Social networking allows for creative expression by using tools such as blogging and messaging to post ideas and stories (Are social networking sites good for our society, 2009). Users also share poems, interest in music, TV shows, hobbies, photos, and many other things (Jasson). Event invitations can be made and sent to friends rather than having to mail invitations and friends can also rsvp for an event on the site.

Not only is it used to talk to friends, but it is also used to discuss educational topics. Social networking is said to increase a person’s quality of life, and can reduce health risks. Many people report that they have not had any negative experiences with social networking, and schools are starting to look at it as an educational tool (Thelwell, 2006). The use of social networking helps improve technological skills of students, and exposes them to many diverse views about things. It also has helped with communication skills, and allows the learning of cultures from users all over the world. Also students use social networking to discuss homework topics with peers online, and to get help on assignments (Reid, 2009). Sixty percent of students on social networks have said that they talk about education, and 50 percent specifically talk about school work assignments. These students seem to have an extraordinary set of traditional and 21st century skills including communication, creativity, collaboration, and leadership skills and technology proficiency. Parents are expecting schools to take advantage of using online social networking to educate children, but to do so in a safe way. Some public schools have created a secure social network for its student to be able to communicate with other students, and to do so in a more safe way (National School Board Association, 2007).

Social Networking does not just benefit individuals, but it also benefits businesses as well. These sites allow businesses to advertise and market services to a large audience, and a profile is free to set up (Gillin). Numerous businesses have created profiles that provide detailed information about the business to advertise in a low cost way (Roberts, 2008). Businesses will gain more attention on social networks because the business profile is available to for all users of the social network to see. Also businesses like to use social networks to learn what potential employees are like, and make decisions based on the information provided on the person’s profile (Ellison, Steinfield, & Lampe, 2007).

Social networking has already completely changed the way people interact in the world, but also it is advancing more to make it easier to access. Now social networking is becoming mobile and can be accessed through the use of a cell phone. It is thought to be a great idea and would increase the use of social networking since a lot of people carry cell phones with them at all times. People can use mobile phones to update their status, post comments, upload photos, send messages, and update profile from just about anywhere (Kharif, 2006). This allows people to be able to get things done as well as take some time to log onto social networks. Making social networks accessible through cell phones is also expected to increase the number of users by a significant amount (Gillin). So far mobile social networking is being used more than social networking from pc computers. The top sites that are being visited using mobile phones are Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo. Being able to access social networks from the cell phone unlocks the full potential of social network, and makes it more convenient for people to use. Since it is more convenient to use the number of users has increased and the mobile social networking has increased significantly (Hamblen, 2008).


Negative Effects of Social Media
Social networking does have negative effects as well, but are nothing compared to the advantages of using it. These sites reduce the amount of face to face socializing and replace it with online interaction which is believed to result in low quality relationships with other people (Mikami, Szwedo, Allen, Evans, & Hare, 2010). Teens over share information to the public that can hurt them in the future when trying to get a job, and deleting the information is not good enough. Cyber bullying occurs as well, which is bullying people online in a public way, but occurs at a small percentage. People that frequently use online social networking are also prone to social isolation which can lead to depression and decreased social skills (Mikami, Szwedo, Allen, Evans, & Hare, 2010). A false sense of security leaves social networking site users vulnerable to security attacks such as hacking, leaking sensitive information, and sending viruses. Identity theft can occur when a cybercriminal uses the network to gather personal information posted about people (University of the Pacific). It also has been said that social networking sites endanger children by allowing pedophiles to seek out children (Are social networking sites good for our society?). Also since they are becoming mobile it might encourage people to use cell phone to access these sites while driving just like text messaging was a popular thing to do while driving.

Social networking becoming mobile use will increase cell phone use and the problem with that is that cell phones have been found to emit electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed by the brain and body. This absorption disrupts the brain sites for memory and learning and can cause confusion and forgetfulness (Thomas, 2004). It is also been reported that cell phones can cause cancer from the electromagnetic exposure to other parts of the body, but little emphasis has been placed on it. The cause of cancer in the brain has been the main health concern with cell phones, which social networking by mobile phone is not exposing the brain to the waves. Also, cell phones give small amounts of radiation off and would require a lot of use and over a long period of time for it to start to cause cancer. Research is needed to provide evidence to determine that actual health risk of cell phones.

Social networking has its advantages and its disadvantages like everything else does. The sites are continuously advancing, and changing to fix the negative problems. One example would be accessing social networking sites using cell phones so that people can access the site on the go rather than sit at home on a computer. Most users have stated that they have had only positive experiences with social networking, and very few people experience cyber bullying. There are still problems that need to be fixed, but it seems that the positive effects outweigh the negative effects. Social networking is a very valuable tool that can be used to meet new people, and allow people to remain in contact with friends. Even though it can waste time, social networking positively affects the world by allowing people to communicate, and remain in contact with friends in an easy and convenient way.

Good effects : you can update news, get more friends, earn money....

It depends on how you use the social medias. If you join social meidas to connect with relatives and friends, that's good. And if you abuse it to do bad things then it is bad.

Social media is playing a crucial role for the promotion of Cryptocurrencies' ICO. Many investors also share their opinion about crypto-trade related topics that can be beneficial for the new investors. I think its bad effect is very little compared to positive sides.

an online media, with its users being able to easily participate, share and create content including blogs, social networks, wikis, forums and virtual worlds. Blogs, social networks and wikis are the most common forms of social media used by people around the world.

It helps us for more convenient and but I think but make us less sociable in real world.

more convenient to connect close friends but not easy to explore new friends in real world

You are right! I think social media provides an effective platform for sharing info. I mean, just one tweet could reach millions, right? Basically, the internet along with social media, sets the groundwork for more advanced technologies. Whether its trading coins, using blockchain, playing games through virtual and augmented reality, social media will prepare us for bigger things to come. Information is key to staying ahead, whatever your goals are.

Social media are computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks. The variety of stand-alone and built-in social media services currently available introduces challenges of definition; however, there are some common features.

In the present time, the world has given us the technology that has given its name to social media or social media. This social media has forgotten our old days, we could not find our loved ones at any one time. There are no days in those days. People do not remember those days, because a whole new technology has given us all of us. And that's why these social media in this episode highlighted the harmful effects of our youth.

 As for good affects social media is a great place to connect and meet other people, even share what you’re doing with your loved ones. But there are so many more bad effects of social media. It causes insecurities it is a place where most photos or videos are edited in someway and when young people look up to their idols they see an image that has been edited not the real deal ..

I think social media is just for entertainment purposes.just some people try its best possible way of usage.

Positive impact

- With so many people using social networking, it opens our chance to promote the products / services we offer
- Event multiply friends
- Can add new friends and business relations with ease

- Social media can also cause opium that can lead to the nature of its users become autistic or more close to the life around

Social media like facebook are destructive for relationships.
There is plenty of examples when boy or girl is more interested in a current wall content than in the other person.
It evokes irritation, arguments and often unnecessary misunderstandings or even sercerts.
I know a lot of people who just need to check facebook every 5 minutes even though it is obvious that nothing has changed there - but they somehow must and do it.

I think social media is very important in ICO promotion role and may find many investors from social media

I think social media helps you gather more information easily but the bad side is too much social media can lower your interactions with other people.

The disadvantaged is you might absorb some fake news and waste your time in social media, the advantaged is you can contact your family abroad and social gives you fun.

It hooks people up and people tend to forget that they actually have a life to live.

Yes social media is very good

Social media really affects or mental health

1. it’s addictive. Social media often causes ‘Facebook Addiction Disorder’, which is characterized by neglect of personal life, mental preoccupation, escapism, mood modifying experiences, concealing the addictive behavior

2. It triggers more sadness. When we use more social media, we are less happy

3. It makes people compare their lives with others, which is really unhealthy

Moreover, more friends on social media don’t mean you’re more social

I think social media is very good and useful to promote our products and services, We can stat this by promoting through facebook, twitter and telegram with the little fee and the participants will promote our products as peoples are managing bounties for social media.

I think that we should be careful with what we post online (social media), especially our thoughts and our opinions, so think before you click.

Social media can be good for getting news instantly or knowing new people around the world but is bad if you are addicted (lack of sleep, always checking social media, etc)

The good effects are we can easily do our work through the social media. Making our lives to live at ease because of social media , communicating easily to our friends and love ones who are far away from us.

without social media all activities are hampered. maybe it's the hallmarks of social media.

Good effect is communication is a lot easier and faster.
Bad effect? People are addicted to it since it is a lot of fun hence they forget to do more important things.

Social media helps you easily connect with other people and makes access to a lot of information easier. However, too much use of it, to a point of not being able to build a person-to-person relationships with other people may be its downside. Not to mention using it as a shield in making other people bad about themselves (trolls).

I think social media is important.
, where everyone can communicate and understand about the latest news in the world stage. and good for business

SM is a perfect tool
the problem is market itself, it's oversaturated

Social media right is very influential especially to the young adolescents.

Social Media is widely used throughout the world and it's part of our lives already.

For me, here are some of the advantages:
- faster communication with anyone around the world
- connects you to friends, family and even co-workers and basically anyone.
- if you are an influencer, it's easier to spread the word out and talk about the latest trends, where to go or where to eat trends, etc.
- if you have a business/company, it's easier update people about what you offer & communicate and do business with potential clients & increase visibility
- for learning purposes

- available 24/7

Here are some of the disadvantages:

Social media is one of the powerful mouthpiece for anything . It can distributed any information for free in a short period of time.

There is so many things that we can do with social media. In 21st century, most of us depends on gadgets which is a product of technology. We can gathered daily news with the use of social media. In millennials, there are advantages and disadvantages of social media. Example of advantages of social media is that it helps people for giving update everyday. All of us can freely use and enter in this platform of social media.Some people it gives a disadvantages to them. They've spent a lot of time. They dont have time to do some stuffs because of social media. Spending too much can lead to addiction. If you were addicted to this you were not able to other duties. You can't study well. You can't focus in your work.

social media is an online medium, with its users can easily participate, share, and create content including blogs, social networks, wikis, forums and virtual worlds.

Social media helps to bring people closer but also looses own privacy.

This are Website like Facebook allows you to create not only personal accounts but also page and groups where you can share content. The only downside of this is that you are restricted to social media's "one-size-fits-all" design.

Social media now needs a lot of people. Because social media other than sharing information, including information about bitcoin, can also be used for selling. As long as social media is used for positive things that I think are very good. But we also have to be critical and thorough with the news and information that is uncertain, a lot of false and wrong information, because there are some people who are easily instigated and can not filter information from social media.

In social media you can exchange with other users, or maybe even establish business relationships with people from different walks of life
the best social media in business with people abroad and very helpful in the latest information !!!

You can be addictive to social networks if you use them very often. It is bad influence, obviously.
Advantages of social media are having conversations with friends with no wasting of time, reading news, studying by videos.

Social media helps in avoiding boredom. Information can be directly sent to large number of people easily. Data, information can be exchanged easily. But social media can be addictive. It can also damage the behavior of a person. Youth people can easily access adult sites

I think to bring closer connections who you may not be able to see, otherwise, on a daily basis is a great positive of social media.

Social Media nowadays helps to the world about what's happening to the other country like in typhoons, or any other disaster came or happen in this world. but sometimes social media have also negative happens like fake news, but it depends to the people which really believe about the happenings in this world. 

I think its nice to see what my friends and family members are up to. A picture says a thousand words.

Well, social media is good to communicate to people from other places. You can relate to a lot of things around the world. But the bad effect is when get addicted to it. You may not able to manage your time.

Pros of social media:

- chat or still have a connection to your old friend, or friends that that far away.
- keeps you up to date with the latest trending topics
- entertains you a lot especially on your ride on the bus, at the bed at home, in the toilet.
- see what's up with your relatives, any updates from them
- spread out or advertise yourself or your products easily to hundreds of people
- quickly search and message who are you looking for
- meet your soulmate online

Cons of social media:

- you'll get addicted to it, your spare that that should be productive turns out to be used scrolling endlessly through Facebook
- you can literally study and stalk another person without their knowing, and this applies same to you
- people know your background even they are not that close to you
- your eyes will start to hate you for being on the phone late at night.
- you may feel you are not good enough as you may compare yourself to other posts of people
- some privacy is taken away from your life

social media positive impact of social media

- information in the world we can find out because of social media
- communicate with relatives or friends to be closer there is no limit
- means of adding new friends

adverse effects of social media

- social media is often a news item for hoax news
- can make people addicted so forget to socialize directly

the impact of good social media bad, it depends on us who use social media

Social networking sites allow people to communicate and remain in contact with friends as well as meet new people. These sites allow people to find others with similar interests that they can create a relationship with and get to know one another.Social networking allows for creative expression by using tools such as blogging and messaging to post ideas and stories.Social networking does have negative effects as well, but are nothing compared to the advantages of using it. These sites reduce the amount of face to face socializing and replace it with online interaction which is believed to result in low quality relationships with other people.Cyber bullying occurs as well, which is bullying people online in a public way, but occurs at a small percentage.

Social media is the best tool to connect with your customers, expand your network and get relevant information. Just know how to use it right and you'll get the benefits.

No doubt that social media can be consider as one of the most important tool of getting information about bitcoin. I also getting good information about bitcoin and other altcoins through social media, but still we cannot totally depend on social media for trading and investment. We also need to get the expert opinion if personally know some one, or should also study some internet sites from where we can also get important information about crypto market.

This is not true at all. Without a good and proper technology, bitcoin would be a shit, and no one will be interested to join, and it doesn't matter if it has a 1 million dollars marketing inside.

Please, be realistic for a while, the marketing is always good, on everything.

But if bitcoin would be just a rock, and someone tries to promote it, do you really think that it would be "famous"?

Social media is nowadays the best media as well as the cheapest way to reach the customers as millions of them are using it 24 hours round the clock.That's why we could see lots of facebook and twitter campaigns coming nowadays to make the ICOs famous.

Just have a look at "Crypto twitter" for example.
For news and quick first hand informations this is the best place to be!
On the other there is lots of trolling and shilling going on.
But social media is very important to spread the word of crypto and get new people into this space.

Can get friendly with lot's of people
But on the other hand the upper sentence also means 'Can get friendly with lot's of strangers'

the positive effect of social media is the rapid spread of information so other than as the field of social media communication as well as a place for the utilization of promotion
but as a side effect of it is news that is not good or fraud, or news that provokes also many circulating in social media

the good effect of social media it can be used for communication it helps us communicate easily the
bad side of social is anything is possible like cuber bullying cyber crime etc.

because social media is very helpful in disseminating information and as one place of promotion and news
people are more active in social media ,such as promoting the project
open widely can be in the clay crowd that's a positive impact
if negative
well when writing bad news
in a matter of seconds alone is spread even though true or not

social media is great powerful agent......it helping side to worldwide business...

It really depends on the person, some would take it negative if that news was negative, but some people would do a research first before judging crypto just like what happen to us. Since, for sure we are already hearing a lot of crypto but before we totally disagree about it we tend to do a research on how it works or if it is really a scam and so we are here finding out that it is a legit one.

Social media is one of the powerful mouthpiece for anything you want to dilever to the public. It can spread rapidly any information for free in a short period of time.

Social media has effect on virtually anything being it good or bad. People put up their views at ease and say whatever they feel and other people get easy access to it. Social media can promote a product or service easily and can also kill a brand easily depending on the information being put up by people on social media as lots of people are on social media these days.

Generally for me, social media is a very good and essential marketing tool which has really assisted firms and businesses to expand their horizons. The only disadvantage I feel is that it has reduced interpersonal relationship as people now feel connected to their social media pages than a face to face interaction. How will I do something wrong to someone and the next thing is to go post it on social media, rather than confronting me? Yes, it happens a lot and that is sickening!

In layman terms; the good effect is that social media has really helped a lot of businesses as long as you have some digital marketing skills. On the other hand, the bad effect is that it has made some people to stop handling their life events reasonably without having to put on the social media every single event of their life, both the bad and the good.

I think social media is playing a vital role regarding this cryptocurrency world. I believe that people are getting addicted to the social network and they are passing their most of the time in this platform, they are getting all sorts of information from the social media that's why it has a good potential criterion for promoting any type of activities. so it's inevitable to its role the communication system.

Please tell me the good effects and bad effects of social media need to my assignment thank you
