What are good things about social media?

For many, social media appears to have a range of benefits. It provides a way for many of us to connect with others. We can support other people and feel supported by them. It may even be a useful way for those with social anxiety and those who have a hard time with face-to-face interactions to connect with others.

Social media enables you to:

·         Communicate and stay up to date with family and friends around the world.

·         Find new friends and communities; network with other people who share similar interests or ambitions.

·         Join or promote worthwhile causes; raise awareness on important issues.

·         Seek or offer emotional support during tough times.

·         Find vital social connection if you live in a remote area, for example, or have limited independence, social anxiety, or are part of a marginalized group.

·         Find an outlet for your creativity and self-expression.

·         Discover (with care) sources of valuable information and learning.
