The Use and Dangers of Social Media

About 1.5 billion users worldwide are using social media. It can also be used for meeting new people, discovering old friends, chatting, participating in interest groups, and even sharing photos. As social networks are mainly created, people can find new friends and meet. What most social media users do not know is the danger of using social media. An example is when you meet someone online. Because they are not always people they say. If someone is not the one you think they are, they may be.

In the last blog post I wrote about the real danger of social media, cyber bullying. But this is clearly not the only thing. I told Christopher Morachi about the possibilities and opinions on social media. He has been engaged in digital market research for over 11 years and has taught "Social Media Innovation" at my home university (Gelsenkirchen 's Westphalia University).

Today, social media is an important topic. Did you understand. bad? Where on the way? Social media has some very obvious dangers. There are also some obvious benefits. But is it between them? Is excessive contact and oversharing always good? When will you take a break for social media? When is social detoxification? How do you grasp what is happening in the world without adversely affecting your life? I planned to get rid of social media many times - especially Facebook. There are so many negative emotions there. At a minimum, you need to clarify and clarify what you care about and what is displayed in the newsfeed. But somehow I have not taken action. Perhaps afraid to lose something?

Is this dangerous solution just to delete all social media? It is not today's modern world, it is not so. Indeed, without several social media accounts, it is almost impossible to live your life like a pro. Regardless of whether you are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn, you can not move in the life cycle. I know that this step seems a bit harsher. Do you need to delete social media apps? definitely! This is the only way to prevent information leakage. When I say to delete the app, I also mean that you should delete it from each device. Please remove them from your cell phone, iPad, and computer. You will thank me later.
