Social Media
What is Social Media
In the same way, social
media means to connect with people through social communication. It is just
like Physical Network, it just happens in network online. Since now is the time
of online, people use this social media to communicate among themselves, to
increase contacts or to exchange their live things and information. Many times it
has been found that many of our friends and relatives do not live with us and
some live abroad, so social media is very useful for us to interact with them
and maintain friendship.
That is why today I
thought that you will know about what social media is and how it has become a
major part of our life. Just to give full information about this thing today, I
have selected this topic, so what is the delay, let's start.
What is Social Media?
Social Media is also known
as Social Media Service. This means connecting with your friends and relatives
using the Internet. Where you exchange friendship, relationship, education,
interests with each other. With this, we can know about the events happening in
the country and abroad. With this, we can learn about the interests of others
and can also explore them.
Generally, Social Media
Services allow users to create a profile. We can mainly divide them into two
broad categories.
1) Internal Social Media
(ISN)
2) External Social Media (ESN)
1. Internal Social Media
(ISN)
ISN is mainly a closed and
private community where small or small amount of people are connected, it is
like a community between those people. Here, an invitation is required to join
this network. And you can join them only on invitation. For example, an Education
group, Photography group or Hacking Community or a Secret Forum.
2. External Social Media
(ESN)
ESN is mainly open and
public community where people are connected in large or large scale, it is like
a community among these people. Here anyone can join this network who wants to
join it. It mainly attracts more advertisers as there is more traffic here.
Users can add their picture here and can also become "friends" with
others. For example, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, Ask etc.
Often, in social
media, a user cannot link between themselves unless they confirm to some other
people.
Characteristics of Social
Media
1. Web space
The website provides the users
free web space to upload content.
2. Web address
The users are given an
extraordinary web address that turns into their web personality. They can post
and share all their contents on this web address.
3. Build profiles
Users are is approached to enter personal details like name, address, date of
birth, school, college education and professional details etc. The site at that
point mines the individual information to interface people.
4. Connect with friends
Users are urged to post
individual and expert updates about themselves. The site at that point turns
into a stage to associate companions and family members.
5. Upload content in real time
Users are provided the tools to
post content in real time. This content can be text, pictures, sound, video or
even representative preferences. The last post comes first, giving the site
freshness.
6. Enable conversations
Individuals are given the rights
to comment on posts made by friends and relatives. The discussions are an
extraordinary social interface.
7. Posts have time stepped
All posts are time stepped,
making it simple to follow posts.
Types of Social Media
We can understand the type of social media based on
its usage-
Business
applications
Using social media properly is very beneficial for
entrepreneurs and small business. With this, they can make their business
bigger by joining with many people. They can also advertise their products
using social media. Because Social Medias operate all over the world, with the
help of this, we can contact people in any country of the world and increase
our business.
Medical applications
Social Medias are used by many
health professionals to manage their institutional knowledge. With this, they
can highlight their doctors and institutions in front of people. With this,
they can also share their knowledge with other people.
Research
Social media services are now being
used for criminal and legal investigations. Information which are located in
sites such as MySpace and Facebook are investigated by the police.
Use of Social Media
for social good
Many social services use social
media in the right way because they know very well that a lot of people visit
social media and look for good posts. If they talk to them about their social
service, then maybe some people will agree to join them in this good work. This
increases the number of his audience and his followers as well. By working
together like-minded people (like-minded people), they can easily achieve many
impossible goals. And can do something different and better for this society.
What are the Risks
of Social Media?
They say that there are two aspects
of the coin; similarly, using social medias can be equally risky if we do not
know how to use it. Because in online we can find many such frauds and
molesters who can trick us by pretending to be friends and make us do wrong
things. So let's know a little more about this.
1. Loss of our privacy: All the data, information, photo,
video or file that we upload on social media becomes a part of that, which
later becomes part of administrators' files. In return, if a hacker hacks that
system, then he can easily get all our data and can also use it incorrectly. So
never save all your information on any social media.
2. Access of inappropriate content: Since there is less control over
our network, so the information we see on the Internet may also come in front
of us in bad and inappropriate content even if we do not want it. They can be
of any humus, such as violent, sexual, or things related to nerves etc. These
things can also be published or shared on social media by some other people in
the form of links, notices.
3. Harassment by Colleagues,
acquaintances or strangers:
The main two fundamental cases can be seen here.
Cyber bullying: Harassment that is done by any
colleagues or strangers through threats, insults, etc. in this network.
Cyber grooming: These are mainly done by adults
with minors so that they can get their photos and information from them, which
they can later use to get their work done.
Advantages of
Social Media
We can see social media as a
structure where people maintain variety of relationship like friendly, working,
commercial, informative etc. But now the Internet has become a fundamental tool
of communication, from students to large companies, from politicians to police
corporations; It uses it to investigate any of your favorite topics of
interest, or to complete a transaction or to chat with a friend. Therefore, if
it is not used properly, it can also dominate us. So let's discuss again about
the advantages and disadvantages of social media.
·
Social
media can be used to advertise something.
· School
activities can also be done easily, even if all the members are from different
states.
· If
our relatives or friends are living far away, then we can contact them easily
with the help of social media and that too at a very low cost.
·
Even
we can interact with people in other cities, states or countries.
· We
can easily send and receive various files (such as photographs, documents,
etc.).

New
friends can be made that are of another culture.

It
helps commercial networks to deliver their products to the people.

also helps the police to carry out its investigation smoothly.
Disadvantages
Social Media
· Privacy
is a very big issue of Social Medias.
· Here
any unknown and dangerous person can get access to all your personal
information and which they can later use wrongly.
·
With
this use, you start separating yourself from your family and friends because
you spend a lot of your time online.
· To
enter social media, you can also tell your age to be wrong, so that you
inadvertently bring yourself closer to the online molester. Because you do not
understand that much at this young age and those people who can use it wrongly
can take it.
·
Possibility
of creating fake account increases more.

It
keeps pulling you in your right side unknowingly and later you become its
slave.

What is the future
of Social Media
Since we are living in the
technological world where all our things are full of technology. Therefore, the
future of social media is also very bright. Its use has increased considerably
in a few years. Today people know less about their neighbors but more about
the neighbors of others. If seen, this is called social media and nothing but
communication happening in the virtual world. Where we have literally many
friends, there are communities, etc. Slowly all things are moving more towards
the virtual world. In such a situation, the day is not far when all our things
will be available in social media.
I sincerely hope that I
have given you complete information about what is social media and I hope you
all have understood about social media. I request all of you readers that you
too should share this information in your neighborhood, relatives and friends,
so that we will have awareness among us and everyone will benefit a lot from
it. I need your support so that I can convey more new information to you.
