Social media is not always good, is it? Should people confront increasing influence of social media? We could speak about enumerous benefits of using different social media platforms (and I do not deny their usefulness) but I would like to discuss its negative impact on people's life. Every day people check their social networking and messaging sites, image and video sharing platforms. Sometimes logging in becomes the first thing after waking up. Lying in bed after a good night's sleep, a person takes their mobile phone and plunges into a fictional world, where people post photos or videos to show everyone their incredible happiness and remarkable life. What is the first idea conjures up while looking through these posts? "Others' life is better than mine" or "they are better/cleverer/more beautiful than me" or "they have more time than I". And these thoughts embody just a little piece of a much larger problem that people face spending their time in social networks. They made people feel miserable and foolish. Some people may assume that the appearance of such thoughts reminds of some phycological problems (e. g. low self-esteem). But there are researches that confirm negative influence of social media on people's life [http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180104-is-social-media-bad-for-you-the-evidence-and-the-unknowns]. So, the message I try to deliver is that not only should we believe in the power of social media, but also be aware of its threats (depression, envy, loneliness, addiction, etc.) and be able to overcome social media addiction. My personal approach to social media is quite easy. I use only those platforms which are useful for me. Most commonly used social networks are two messengers (one for work, another for my nearest and dearest), Skype, and Facebook. Speaking about websites, I have the compilation on different topics (news, learning languages, reading, cooking, etc.). I think that many people do the same thing. However, several years ago I thought that it is necessary to be signed in famous social media to stay on top of things. But then I understood that it could be done in other ways without permanent stay on-line.
