Causes and Effects of Social Media

Abstract

Social media is becoming a commonly used medium of communication. Social networking is a web based communication that occurs through websites between the internets users via websites or through mobile phones. Advancement of social media technologies has enabled people to communicate throughout the day and the night. In this era, the barrier of time and space has been broken by social media networking, and we can communicate with so many[R1]  people than ever before. Researchers have reported that the routine communication lies in between one to seven percent either in verbal or written, while the rest of 93% is nonverbal body language. New threats and barriers have hatched as a result of this revolutionary social media Mezick, Jennifer (2011). [R2] 

 

Facebook is Making us Lonely

Americans of 18-29 years old receive and send an average of 88 text messages and 17 calls per day. According to[R3] , 32% respondent of a mobility time poll, they communicate through text rather than phone, with those whom they know quite well. A Facebook statistic of March 2012 showed an average number of its daily active users are 526 million. Moreover, 1/3 of 13 years old populations have connected through cell phones according to media industry fact sheet report. [R4] All the powerful social media networking has potential powers of making people less social. With the social technologies at our finger tips, in order to make people more connected, has potentially disconnected them (Lowe, & Booth, 2013).

 

According to the claim of Mezick, Jennifer (2011), [R5] social media communication has become an essential part of our lives. Every morning many people have been using social Medias[R6]  has their first thing to do to get be aware [R7] of any notifications or messages, instead of going to wash room to brush teeth. In a public transport, restaurant, and office or anywhere around, and take glance because it is difficult to find someone whose head is not down and busy with the phone. Even on dining table [R8] people remain busy with phones, typing a text, tweet or a Facebook status.

 

In an article, written by Dingwall & Lewis 1983,[R9]  a mother and daughter was [R10] having a chat through text messages. Mother[R11]  was asking the daughter how everything is going on, to which the daughter was replying with, smiles, hearts and positive emotion statements. That night, the daughter tried to suicide. Few days after, she was in severe depression, crying and held up in her room. That was a completely different story conveyed through her texts, Facebook or tweeter messages[R12] .

 

This is where we are standing with all the revolutionary technology of social networking.

According to Mezick, Jennifer (2014), [R13] social cognitive theory the direct communication system influence human thought process and motivates, guide and inform the participants. The only real and authentic way of communication, among human beings is face to face communication. Only by looking into the eyes of someone or by hearing the voice of someone, we can judge that “I am fine” actually means they are not fine at all. Email or text messages even send with similes[R14]  and positive statements lack emotions and can be misinterpreted.  People can hide their feelings and emotions behind the wall of over flooded technology. Communication is a corner stone for the development of interpersonal relationships. One of the main hindrances, in developing successful interpersonal relationship is the lack of effective communication in adults. Several areas of life including family relations, socialization, performance and employment are potentially at risk, because of the ineffective communication.

 

Claim is reasonable [R15] somehow that the lack of face to face communication in young people leads to the failure of resolving conflicts. Hence jeopardize not only the safety but also results in chronic violence including grabbing, threats and fighting.  According to

Mezick, Jennifer (2011), an increase in online social media communication has decreased interpersonal and face to face communication. Social media has harmful effect on privacy.  Even with extremely high privacy settings, social networks are searchable. There are always possibilities to find out personal information from a social network site.

Cyber bullying is another negative side of social media networking. Cyber bullying, along with stalking and even unwanted sexual harassment advances have victimized people destructively (Mezick, 2014). The victims often face guilt, depression and shame. They not only self harm them, but also dissociate them from their near and dears.

 

It is true that technology provides undisputable[R16]  benefits such as cost and time effectiveness. At the same time, it is need[R17]  to recognize that human beings are created for interpersonal communication. Online social media cannot duplicate a true interpersonal relation[R18] . No doubt, it is an email that connects people form one part of the globe to the other. But, the downside is it has weakened not only the trust, but also the bond that is evolved through face to face or phone conversation. In the beginning, [R19] due [R20] excessive internet usage, being an extremely convenient tool, we have lost the actual physical contact Li, Xuchao (2012) [R21] With the awash in technology, in addition to loosing [R22] the ability to interact, we are giving an impression to youth that with the technology and internet access everything is possible. The gap in interpersonal communication and interaction will reach to the point that on social level there will be no need of physical contact.

 

There are different ways to make online communication real, in order to avoid all the harmful impact of social media on inter personal relation[R23] . If, there is a conflict due to exchange of an electronic message, to clear up misunderstandings pick up your phone have call or arrange a face to face conversation.  Being a citizen of global world we should take advantage and benefits of all these technologies, but not at the cost and risk of important personal and professional relations Dingwall, Robert, and Philip Simon Coleman Lewis (1983.) [R24]
