Social media has changed the world completely. Before invention of social media thinking style of common man was different. He /she does not have access to the harmful content like today people have. We should admit it that social media has many pros but cons are more than pros. As by social media students have access to their study material, they can watch scientific videos. They have the access to their relatives and friends which live thousands of miles away from them, but question rises here that are they able to meet the relatives or friends who live few miles to them? the answer is obvious no. Dimension in which social media has brought people closer to you, in the same way it has taken away your people to a distant place. 

People spend hours of time on Internet and social media. People even do not know what is happening in their home or in street but they are addicted to social media so much that they can not control themselves. Students are addicted to extreme level, they turn on their computer or mobile for study purpose, but one single like from Facebook or from instagram change their direction of mind and they are involved in social media which put adverse effect on their study and future. Because of social media children have access to salacious content which is disturbing and destroying their mental health and fertility Teen aged students are engaged in immoral activities because of social media . By doing immoral activities they are destroying the cultural life. We can not sit together with family to use social media because we do not know that where wrong content will appear and we feel embarrass in front of each other.

  Social media started evolving after 2004. people used to play sports in free time before invention of social media. sports helps in keeping good health. Everyone should take part in sports to keep their health good and sound. After social media, students and teenager do not play sports but spend same time on social media. They get happy by posting and sharing non sense. People share wrong and false news just to gets likes and subscribers. As social media provided marketplace for business and buy, sell so people can easily buy and sell items which provide ease to common man. In the same way there is lot of scam on social media. Scammers provide services and demand advance payment, but when they receive payment, they block the person. So a poor man which can not afford bread for his family can not bear this loss. It is shameful for a person to deceive people.
