    Currently, I decided to stop using Facebook. Then, I have seen I have more time to read books, meet friends, talk to my parents and learn something new. Before when I used Facebook, I always felt I was busy, I did not have enough time.

    I 'm from Viet Nam, I think social media that has two sides if we have positive thoughts ,social media helps us having lives better.For example we make friends with good people we will receive useful advice and improve relationships we can read good news in our country and oversea from websites on Facebook or watch videos from RUclips from our friends.Ofcoure we must choose them to watch we don't have enough time to discover good videos. I have learned english from Language Master on Facebook. Don't use social media like nonsense way we make it serves us useful. Thanks Spotlight so much.

    i agree with you,that social media makes people communicate without real concern about your friends.Everybody can say "happy birthday" by sending a sticker.But to call on phone your friend and to say warm and sinceirely words is the true relationship. I think there are no emotions in social media and it is something just like hanging on smth.Thank you it was really interesting topic

Therefore i have free-time, instead of surfing the internet , i can read more useful book, hang out with my friends, learn some new programming. I truly feel regretted because se realizing this sooner. Many thanks for this video

    Facebook and other social networking sites can play a significant role in influencing one's behaviour when it comes to making choices. I have seen many people especially students decide who to vote for based on a candidate who gets more likes and they do not use their discretion while exercising their franchise. So, there is no gainsaying the fact that it is possible to influence elections in democratic countries like India. As social networking sites are a part of life now, it all depends on an individual on how to use them. Now and then I use Facebook to post some good information. In my view, social media is flooded with fake news and there is no way to stop the flow of misinformation at present. So, it is better not to depend on social media for correct information.
    Thank You Spotlight for enlightening us about the positive and negative effects of social media.

    For my opinion, i thinks that social media has two way : one way is the positive such as job , building a friend etc . The last one negative way. I often spend a lot of with Facebook just only scrolling screen , so I feel that lost production my self and my workplace.

    Every thing in life (work,relation,trip...)contains advantages and inconvenients.Surely social media have positive effects and the same time present negative effects.People everywhere must benefit more and more from good effects ,and be careful from bad effects of social media.

    I think social media is having negative effects more than positive effects.
    Social media in my opinion like hangovers .we can spend more and more hours on social media websites like Facebook ,Instagram and chatting applications like messenger and we can't spend a little time with our family and our friends in the garden ,streets,cinema or a small picnic.
    That is one of the social media's negative effects

      You can be connected with friends over long distances. You can recover friends. Like one of my acquaintance that found his son back over social media after years. You are never bored. You can lern languages. Like watching TV and like reading books it can be used for good and bad causes, it totally depends on how we use it.

    nice subject to talk about! Every single one of us need to start focous on how his time on social media is going. And what's all the positive and negative things. For me social media is useful in documentation my life beautiful memorise, and to comincate with my loved once. But it's horrible when it comes to the time, i could waste my whole day 'cause of the reels thing and stories and the whole posts i enjoy wasting time on it. I realised how it's bad for myself to let her wasting all this time on such a silly things insted of improving her. I could've achived many things so far if i didn't waste my time on instagram.
    And now i deleted the app and i make a log in to my accounts every 3-4 days just to reply the messages and sometimes to post something. addition to i managed the "following" and let it include only my family and friends and useful accounts as learning english accounts.
    And woah! This is one the best decision i've ever made. I still find problems to organizing my time and use it in good way but that's the thing i realised that i've the time i only have to know how to use it carefuly :)
    - NOTE: as it shows i'm learning english or why i would be here. But i loved to asked that if you have the time i would love to know where did i messed up in what i wrote (:♡..
