June 30 is celebrated as World Social Media Day each year.
This day highlights the impact of social media globally.
But, we all know the importance of social media everyday.
It has connected people worldwide and is an important part of the web.
WWW - Worldwide Web.
Family-members, friends, relatives, business associates and even strangers are on the same platform now.
This is like- “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”- the world is a family.
The first Social Media Day was first observed by Mashable in 2010. The website was created to promote social media and to connect people worldwide without any boundaries or borders.
Social Media Day is celebrated by many.
Meets are organized.
More people are using social media to express, share info, images etc. and connect.
Social Media Day is an apt day for discussing about Social Media on Social Media!
Some people are doing Social Media detox! They are taking sanyas- staying away from social media!
Social Media is time consuming and demanding.
It can put some people in depression.
Some start comparing others lives seeing the posts and judging and believing.
They do not realise- Not everything is true. For example the saree worn by that model does not belong to her! Or that complexion sported in that viral pic may be accentuated with filters or makeup, No need to compare! Live your life well. Focus on yourself. Show your true self on Social Media. Do not pretend!
Plus, some do not understand social media. They take the help of family or friends to post. This is contrary to the inclusion that’s needed for a well-knit society.
Received this message via WhatsApp today-
Seems to be someone’s FB post-
Some lives revolve around Social Media - and their likes, shares etc data.
Social Media can be used for positive issues and for making a change in society and also lives.
Enjoy Social Media Day!
Just like the other days when we use Social Media!
