Social media plays an important role in my daily life. If I imagine a world without social media that will be down fall for me and paradise for some. Moreover, it is true that we can’t imagine a life without social media because that will change our lives and way of living. I believe that it’s gonna be very tough for everyone to live like people were in 80s. But it’s the only time when influencers didn’t exist anyways, people would purchase newspapers or use the radio :D Also, everyone loved to watch television back then very often. To be honest for a bit of seconds I can’t imagine what would I be doing in my life without these social medias such as Facebook, Snapchat, X(twitter) & Instagram because I used those apps to stay connected with my online and offline friend and also my relatives and parents.
It’s gonna be soo weird to live in a world without social media like for real when there is no Wi-Fi I can feel the emptiness. Because without Wi-Fi connection I can’t use any apps and that makes me feel that the time isn’t moving at all but getting slower. After that I get bored easily and feel like my life is doomed, I got nothing to do. But yeah, there will be good or bad or both consequences. We would go back to being not connected. Also, the general information would take time to flow also no platforms to represent myself quickly as it is with social media.
I think if we lived like that we all would be different then from now what we are. But people who has already lived a world without social media or anything they would find this easier to adapt like my grandparents. Well, on the other hand people who are young like me for example I would be clueless. Anyways, end of the day I will adapt it too. Because I have to adapt it if there are no other options. I also must go with the flow.
Let’s think that what would I do if I used my cell phone is only for making calls and receiving. Like that’s totally a different thing right? But phone was at first made to make calls but now we use it for various purposes. Because our phone has apps we can stay connected to anyone through mobile without having to leave from home. Because it’s the fastest way to connect with people who has similar choices as mine. If I didn’t have these platforms then I would have to leave home very often. People use snap chats to send each other’s photo and I use it only for good photo filters hehe.
When I was very young like from 1st to 6th grade I always wanted to stay connected with my friends I did take their numbers but later on lost it. If that time I could have connected them on social media then they would have been my friends now. I miss them I truly wanted to be friends with them in the future. But I didn’t know the way to stay connected with them.
I have changed my schools many times due to my fathers job shifting from one area to another. So, I could barely make friends and even after making friends I would have lost them by moving to another school and could not stay connected with them.
From social media I have received soo much help, like for real when my father was hospitalised the only ones who had helped me out it was my friends from social media. My relatives didn’t even care to help but my friends from online they have helped me a lot. If it was not for them then I would have lost my father by this time. That’s why I would say the use of social media sad good sides but if we can’t control ourselves and call it addictive then that’s like hiding our faults and putting it the blame to social media. Anything can be addictive if we don’t control ourselves. It’s better not to use something without it’s need.
I am soo glad that social media exists and it has helped me a lot even with my mental health. Whenever I feel sad I watch some funny videos and it just cheers me up and I forget about the problems I have in my life which helps me continue to live longer. Also I have gained a family from online which are my fans they have given me soo much support also they sent me gifts at my birthday each time. I have never received these many gifts. People showering me with their love and support makes me very much happy. I have gained a lot and don’t wanna lose it. Moreover, I am writing this post on Hive so if it didn’t exist how would I have get the chance to get connected to you guys right? So, yeah those are necessary in our life now.
But I think that web3 platforms are much better than web2. Web3 platforms such as Hive it’s a decentralized platform which has catch my eyes on for a long time. It’s been like maybe almost few months I am active on it. I am an active user of Hive and I love it. There’s no time wasted in here all I see is benefits. I get to show my original content and no one can even steal it. There’s no one who would can just delete my account whenever they want just like web2 platforms. That’s why I love Hive the most and use it everyday. I am kinda addictive to it but in a good way.
Also, near future finding a job will be difficult for me without social media, It is possible by building social network in real life but it would be a small circle. But one thing I have to admit is that the connections which are formed in real life can never replace how it’s formed on social media. Like someone might not get to know me as well as they can know by meeting me in a person.
Overall, I would say social media has already arrived in our life so it’s better to use it properly for good reasons and not waste our time on it. Because everything has impacts on our daily life. We just need proper guidance to make good uses of it.
