Greetings, dear Steemians!
Social media is the great catalyst through which the entirety of human race has finally come together under a single banner, or so we thought!
Nowadays, internet plays a huge role in our daily life, and more importantly, the dominant social media platforms are always there with us; in our moments of joy or suffering, in our loneliness or hangouts, in our brightest moments and darkest hours.
We share these intimate moments with the people who may or may not know us, and we have essentially turned social media to an undeniable and constant companion.
But there is one thing you need to understand about social media platforms. Perhaps it is the thing we can all agree on, because we might have sensed it through the years and based on our own experience.
Social media platforms are always addicting, because on the surface, their motto is to bring people together and create an environment where they can connect and communicate, but in truth, social media platforms are designed in a way to keep the user engaged, so that he/she finds it hard to leave.
That is why you find yourself pouring more and more hours to social media platforms every day.
By keeping the audience engaged and interested, they will spend more time in those platforms, and the companies behind them will have a much easier time advertising and making profits.
Imagine if you only signed in to a social media platform to send a message and then immediately left it!
Now, apart from the slippage of time, how does that adversely affect our mental health and social life?
To answer this question, we must first ask another question. How do social media platforms compel you to spend more time on them?
Social medias have certain algorithms that analyze your personality and your interests and give you content in accordance to that thought pattern.
For instance, if you are a fan of working out, then the social media will adapt itself to show you content related to working out and people who are predominantly obsessed with the same thing that you are.
The same could be said about almost anything. Even your beliefs are subject to adaptation from social media platforms.
The most dangerous effect of this system is that you are constantly interacting with beliefs, ideals, and values that you already agree with.
Soon, you will begin to feel like what you are interacting with in social media represents the whole world, and the reality of communities will turn into an illusion for you.
Apart from that, social media will eventually stop your mind from growing and evolving beyond your current set of beliefs and values, because you are constantly exposed to what you already like and agree with.
That is why social media platforms are so enjoyable and addicting, because they are practically a cornerstone for our comfort zone and inner desires.
The philosophy that indicates something is altogether evil or wrong is short-sighted and prejudiced. Social media can help us in many ways, but we should be careful of its deceitful talons.
Engaging with social media platforms is not inherently wrong, but always try to draw a boundary and do not cross the line, because you will inevitably hurt yourself and live with the regret of a wasted time and a brain that has obviously seen better days.
By understanding the nature of social media platforms and their effects on us, we will begin to use them with mindfulness and care!
A BIG HUG!

Exchange life experiences in multiple life areas, through conversations with friends. Acquiring important information, from sources provided by admissions, follow-up to some of them, and through exchanging them through dialogue pages with friends, as a fruit of exchange of opinion and discussion on a topic or issue. Once a page has been admired, the events and news of this page appear The person you like, and so on. It opens the way for creativity in drawing up specific intellectual, cultural and political considerations, especially through multi-headings, which are joined by many members and are renewed and have close social and cultural views
What has characterized the modern era is the tremendous progress in communication technology, and the social networking pages of various types and forms. These methods have emerged as a cultural achievement created by the creative giant minds through the advanced technology. These means of communication have great positive effects,
I actulally like it becouse What has characterized the modern era is the tremendous progress in communication technology, and the social networking pages of various types and forms. These methods have emerged as a cultural achievement created by the creative giant minds through the advanced technology. These means of communication have great positive effects,
I agree with you, we are increasingly moving away from live communication. The network’s networks entangle us like a cobweb and it becomes scary for our generation.
The means of social communication are great cultural achievements, and the human being alone has the means of benefiting from them, or the ways to prevent them from danger or not, and here there is a need for concerted efforts and integration, advice and guidance and follow-up
Social networking has been used in many areas of human life; it has become a large part of his life, such as education.Social networking sites are used for several purposes, including: job creation, Where users of these products can express their views about the product through social networking sites, so that the manufacturers of these products can take advantage of these views in improving their products
Social networking sites have many advantages, making them different from other websites
Excellent review, my friend and you are right, nowadays high-tech social media plays a very significant role and many people base their thinking on the basis of what was placed on these resources, but it is very important to firmly understand the information supplied and evaluate what is happening! Thank @chbartist
The Internet today carries a large amount of data and services, most notably social networking sites, which are defined as a set of Internet applications that allow the creation and exchange of content created by it. Small amounts of information, and greater control over data managers, but the widespread use of smart devices helped to develop this type of communication.
Social networking allows people to communicate wherever they are, allowing people with common ideas to meet and creating jobs
The benefits of social networking are numerous but do not go beyond their disadvantages; some of the disadvantages of social networking sites are so serious that they directly affect human life and security.
These sites. May be a source of inconvenience, especially when the user receives a lot of news that may not be important to him. A waste of time if not properly exploited
Another adversity of following on social media too closely is that whatever someone posts online, you take it on the face value. You tend to take it in a flowery way and take it to heart. Gradually, without realizing it, you fall into the "hating on you" syndrome. You end up thinking why everyone else is doing so much better than you in life. In reality, we are pretty much the same. We only choose to show the best side of what we have. The jealousy mindset is a scary thing that gets developed without you knowing it. That's how depression starts for many people!
Greetings @chbartist! Social networks are channels that allow information to be handled efficiently, transmitting a lot in a very short time.
The algorithms used develop and update our consumption profile in order to maintain our interest in the platform as long as possible, generating that we disconnect from our physical environment. In fact, a large number of accidents at work, as well as traffic accidents, have materialized because of the inappropriate use of social networks. The use of social networks is part of the disruptive process or changes to which we have been participating. The world is changing. We must give an adequate use to social networks, which allows us to improve our quality of life. The companies that are behind the social networks should focus on humanizing the results, the human being should be the most important. Good day!.Useful topic In order to integrate with the distant virtual society, one sometimes finds himself in the presence of his guests busy with his friends on Facebook at the expense of the duty of hospitality. Concern about the performance of certain duties, whether family or in the aspects of the performance of different job. An introduction to the culture of moral decay and corruption; because these means, especially (Facebook) is an open society, before all cultures, including the promotion of the values of corruption and disintegration. Is a suitable place for planning the spread of crime and extremism sometimes, where these means a fertile opportunity to meet through the extremists and enhance their experiences and criminal experiences appropriate entrance to the enemies to follow the nation's youth and follow up their various activities. It has a strong opportunity to spread and promote rumors, and in various aspects of life.
Social networking sites are the fastest way to get information, news, they also help journalists get news, and market their products. Helps science students, researchers, they also help in finding jobs. Helped the emergence of the citizen's press, so that the person who lives the events can be photographed, written, and sent to the media, in areas that reporters could not enter...
No doubt social media is one of the best way to stay connected with people and current affairs and without it it seems difficult but we should use it wisely. These platforms are for our good and excess usage is not good anyway.
There has to be a limit and must try not to cross that limit. Excess of anything is not good should become an addiction for us. Thanks for the post @chbartist

@chbartist sir
I think social media is not just for exchanges of ideas or for entertainment but its form is very broad. Social media is a medium from where we can easily bring our project or any campaign to people. Currently, social media is a drug addict for the youth, which is very difficult for them to quit. But if we think that social media is being used in the right way. People have begun to understand the value of this and today the hygiene campaign and promoting steem coin is going on with a strong emphasis on social media as it can easily reach out to the masses.
Thank you

Interesting perspective! I wonder how the twist that Steem has added will impact these interactions going forward as I had never been too much involved in Social Media until now and have found myself enjoying the experience. However, it has not led me to go outside of Steem for interactions. Time will tell!

Those little spurts of dopamine release everytime a notification appears on our home screen is what we should be worried about 🤷🏻♂️
What i really noticed in social media is that people can choose to let social media affect their life both negatively or positively but nowadays it has been affecting many life's negatively instead of
Absolutely agree to the statement "Social media is designed to keep the people engaged, and not just to bring people together"
Social media is a new market place for every e-commerce company, the more the interface engages the human, the more bigger virtual market you create.
Someone said it right, When you are not paying for a product, YOU are the Product
So every user should wisely choose what he is being walking into,
Sir, your article wonderfully shares the effect and the moto of an social media interface.
Special media collects yor interests and the data by means of analytics and big data concepts, and brings you what keeps you engaged and glued to the screen
So choose how you spend your hours on social media and how it treats you or how you want it to treat you

Social media is a Virtual Market for online selling companies,.
May it be a product or data. Everything is monitored and everything is consumed. Based on the user the social media performs the algorithms and produces the selling platform where the user is kept engaged.
The Virtual Market is far bigger than our imagination.
An example here:
The very act of viewing your data is a paid one. You create profile and those profiles are saved and sold to the companies.
You would remember the profile form asking you hell lot of questions, everything is a marketing question to know you better and to know what to sell you 😊

I would say that social media can be good or bad depending on its usage. It gives users a platform to connect with people across continents. It allows for expansion of beliefs and knowledge all at the click of a button.
But, with its many advantages there is also the flaw of people becoming so self-absorbed by numbers that they base their self worth on the amount of attention they receive which is sad. As with anything there is always utility, it just depends on how the user wishes to utilise the platform.
This is so true!
Just came across to this blog @chbartist and I think itis worth following.
Meaningful stuff! It is true indeed that social media platforms has all its power to draw our attetions and get adicted to it yet, we always have that power button, the "power of choice"! SET SOME BOUNDERIES AND LIMITATIONS.
Social media changed the face of the world, it has good side as well as bad, what we can do, we can adopt good one and leave bad one and pursue others to follow us, your excellent writing definitely help us in this regard. thanks, have a nice time.
Social media is cool and all but personally i dont use it as much. The only social media I use is steemit and rarely Instagram. Maybe once every 3 months :p and thats not gonna change, unless i have opportunities that require me to use social media. But social media is awesome because you can actually socialize and meet new people without leaving the house. Thats why I love steemit and love this community you got here! Meeting new people, while also reading amazing post like this one. The people here inspire me to be the best steemain I can be!
I love how you actually care about the community compared to some on your level of success. Wish we had a lot of more people like you. This would make steem so much better and in general a happier place. Not to worry thou because what positive your doing for the community is eventually gonna spread so much and grow into one big amazing family!

Relevant advise in today world. Most of us are unknown about the use of social media. How to use, When to use, Which social media should we use.
Thank for caring us and remind us to use it mindfully with care.
Yes! Glad you shared your thoughts on this topic. This part sums it up for me:
By keeping the audience engaged and interested, they will spend more time in those platforms, and the companies behind them will have a much easier time advertising and making profits.
Don't just be an internet hero people, be a hero face-to-face as well. :-)
Social media enjoying nice subject that's really bad affected life when I spend most valuable time with watching but enough sufficient use not affect our life.

The key is to balance our time in all aspects of our lives, not only social but also biological, psychological and spiritual.
Social in interacting to society.
Biological in dealing with our physical being, our health.
Psychological deals with our minds, how we think on certain things.
Spiritual is our connection to the source of all, the Almighty specifically, and our aim for the life to come after spending our limited lives.
Social media keep everyone together but reality is we are virtually connected and physically disconnected. Often we use social media very much nowadays this become addiction for people where we get whole information what is going in a world that is an okay. But if this become addiction for all of us then there is no result we get by this. Friends this addiction is very dangerous than alcohol because we are disconnected with those people who are with us.
This is really true, although the social exposes us to a lot of info, it also makes us live an illusionary life at the expense of our reality. It surrounds with things that we already know and agree with that we soon become complacent it shuts out things that would challenge us to be better and thereby retarding our growth as individuals.

Social media can help us in many ways, but we should be careful of its deceitful talons.
I think crypto social networks like Steemit and Minds have managed to mitigate the negative effects of social media somewhat.
I would like to be added to your list of contributors please, @bdncontent
A mindful post which should make readers think about their social media habits, whether or not they might be excessive and contributing to others areas in their lives getting neglected. Since joining #steemit, I have neglected other social media sites, mainly because I was finding it a bit overpowering, so many people to pay attention to each day. I didn’t post much mainly just liked and commented on friends and family postings. I am enjoying #steemit, creating a blog and posting and meeting new people that are not part of my every day world where I live. The community postings here seem more meaningful in general and I feel more inspired to write on #steemit. It has opened new doors for me and I am finding things I would like to share.🙏

@chbartist, In my opinion, social media is a part of Enslavement. Stay blessed. 🙂

Social media platforms is quite commendable and good. So many people got rich through social media platforms and the internet on a large scale. However, it becomes bad if it's being used for the wrong purpose, such as brewing troubles in the society through instant messages, video calls forum and so on. We should just learn how to use social media platforms with caution.
Yes Nowadays Social Media connects all without race,age,religion, with the help of our latest technology. Technology helps human being to contact and share any thing and everything from any part of the world. Its really god's gift.
Good

About 150.69$ has been spent to promote this content.
the use of social networks has allowed the world to be even more globalized, that we can interact with people from different parts of the world, and has allowed us to keep informed of anything that happens in the world, in real time.
but, to the social networks, it is necessary to try to give an appropriate use to him, since, the use of the same ones, has taken us, to take attention, to the things that really have importance in the world, as they are, the family , and friends, there are people, who can not leave the social networks, and end up moving away from their loved ones, which is nothing positive
the good use, that we give to our social networks, will allow us to keep more friendships, and maintain stable family and working relationships. we can not allow, that we consume our time, alone, in social networks, since this, will cause, great deteriorations in personal relationships, that we have with our environment
