• People nowadays are so involved in social media that they forget about people sitting next to them. The people are so dissolved in this virtual world that they have increased the distance from the real world. The face to face interaction has lessened, and they are more active on social media. They are more into their phones using Facebook that they don’t interact with the family member next to them. Which make us think that Social Media is a boon or a bane.
• We have got the freedom to speak and express ourselves, but some people might also misuse it. Few think that they can say and talk about anything and anyone whatever they want which may happen to bully some people.
• Some people have many friends on social media like on Facebook, Instagram etc some of whom they have never met and are strangers for them in real life but they still tend to interact with them, which may also be a threat to some.

• We tend to share our location for various apps which looks like an open invitation for the thief and crime related events that took place all over the country.
• Nowadays, all the people spend a lot of their time on the internet and social media rather than involving physical activities and social gathering. Especially today’s youth and even the small kids are too involved in social media which is having a terrible impact on their health. Continuously watching phones, laptops, TV had a terrible effect on their eyes and other body parts too.
• The one more bane that we have of social media is hacking of the information. Some people lead to misuse the data like bank details or the personal data of the people, which is a cyber-crime. Some of the fake news creates a lot of noise in the society in-turn affecting the people. Celebrates are the most common victim that you may see.
• The personal life of people has become a common hot topic for all just because of social media. As people have become much more reachable. This may also impact the business as the people can post negative comments for their products and services affecting their sale.
