Use And Effects Of Social Networks

Use and effects of social networks

Introduction.

As we all know social networks are the product of the extensive globalization that society has suffered over the years, which has gradually become a means to communicate more and more common, its uses have been variating from a personal use from a personal useto a global use. The main use of this tool was to communicate throughout the planet, but as time passed, secondary uses were appearing for a part of the population (mostly the young population) this main use in the background. Today the use of social networks is dominated by the interest of the distraction and entertainment of people.

Developing.

There are a number of people who think that this tool has obsolete use, either for different reasons, but to the main extent it is due to the lack of technological knowledge they possess, because they are greater or are simply people who are with a lack ofInformation and learning with social networks. Older people need an application that is easily usable by them. An application can have a good aesthetic, technical and functional design, that is, it can be perfect for some users, but not for others, such as the elderly users.

We must not forget a part of the population that misuses this tool, this is reflected in cases of cyber bullying, extortion, scams, deceptive advertising, defamation of false information, among others. The case of cyber bullying must be taken into account, because it leads to a more delicate situation, which unfortunately is a reality throughout the world, this situation is that of the suicide of adolescents, which is not a problemminor, since, the figures of teenagers found in it are not minimal.

Unfortunately the scams in a worldwide environment in the networks, has become something everyday and that unintentionally has become the easiest way to achieve an economic benefit mainly. The lack of investigation of the people, the laziness, the need to help a close person such as the colloquially called “uncle’s stories” or the need to get money quickly as pyramid scams are, they still return this practiceeasier for those who commit it.

While social networks have largely become a useful tool for all people, we must also highlight the management of the information within them, since, despite the fact that social networks serve to share information,This is not always going to be true or of a reliable source. Despite all these bad and good practices that are made with social networks, we all agree that it has been a great advance for humanity, since, it has kept the world connected to each other, either by different social networks byInstagram example, Facebook, WhatsApp among others.

Almost all events that occur anywhere in the world are shared on social networks thus generating a prosperous communication environment between countries, an act of unity generated by the simple fact of sharing an event that negatively shakes a country is generated by thesemedia. The young people of today see social networks as an escape from the authority of their parents, feeling that within this world they can do whatever they want, it gives them a type of autonomy, a way of separating from adults. All this linked to the fact that most of the users of this tool are teenagers and not adults.

However, much of these young people prefer this means to socialize, due to the comfort it provides, because regardless of the distance that they are from each other they can communicate, leaving the modern methodology almost obsolete by this more contemporary. Young people also give a sense of visibility to the world, providing them with a feeling of popularity that adds a personal value and a sense of well -being.

Conclusions.

In itself social networks were a great advance not only social, also technological. A tool that is already part of our daily life. That despite the bad practices that are committed within these, the cases are undoubtedly overcome with the infinite things that can be done correctly when using the networks. It is producing high connectivity and changes, of important draft, in the fields, actors and mechanisms involved in the process of traditional socialization of the individual, inaugurating an unprecedented space of virtual socialization, with potential impact on the transmission of norms, values, attitudes and attitudes andpersonal and social behaviors.
