Is Social Media Toxic?

in #dtube7 years ago


Day 257:

'Social Media is superficial.'
'Social Media is fake.'
'Social Media is toxic.'

These are all things we've heard of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, snapchat, youtube, the list keeps going.

But is social media actually toxic?

As I keep making videos and constantly connecting with new people everyday, I just can't fall for the hype that social media is toxic, fake, superficial. One of my favorite role models, Gary Vaynerchuk says it best:

'Technology is not undermining real human interactions. Instead, it is exposing people for who they really are.'

Today's Mindful Minute is an example of what social media can do if we decide to take action.

Enjoy!

Shout out to David King for connecting :)

It's fantastic to follow your journey! Keep going and enjoy doing the things you love.

I personally think that social media is bridging people more than ever. I think we just need to be wise. Technology in social media when channeled and used for good can be leveraged to transform society.

Exactly! I've connected with so many cool people because of my Facebook page and now hopefully connect with people on steemit! Also just followed you :)

That's fantastic! Will be keeping an eye of your adventures! Thanks @harshilpatel!

Like everything, social media is toxic if you do it too much.

100 percent agree!

we all are addicted of social media

As with many things in everyday life, we have to sort out and keep only the best. We can't control anything, but we still have the power to select.

Yes exactly! It's just important to remember we still have the power.
