First of all, today social media has become a tool of basic communication and work, e.g. for marketing. However, it is still just a help.
My activity on social media is limited to the messenger. I try not to share too much information about myself on the internet. I wouldn't have a problem with quite social media. He simply treats Messenger as a phone number.
Also it's one of the main thread of sells, this is why we won't never get rid of it. I thought, but I haven't quit fully.
I don't use facebook, but I like messenger. It has cool video chat. Why I have to give up on that thing:?)
Social media are so important because it's the easiest way to communicate but also it has became one of the most important environment to advertise new products.
Not really, I've never been a huge fan of social media.
I believe people should learn how to limit their use of social media instead of quitting completely. You can find many useful information/follow some news that you might be interested in etc.
Why social media are so important in our society?
They are important because it's a good source of knowledge,advertisement, socializing etc.
Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
No, not really. I just try to control not to spend too much of my time on it.
2. I think people often confuse real life with online life. Some, like me, use social media only when contacting friends, others chase likes and fame on the Internet. As for the lack of online presence or lack of career vision due to not having an account on social networks, I think these two things do not connect with each other. If you don't really want to use social media, don't do it, but still they help to some extent in contact and taking new opportunities in your life. Why is social media so important? People use their free time to browse the home pages of these applications, view trends, and the latest information. The smartphone is always at hand, you can open an application at any time and scroll the board, occupying your head with something.
3. I have never been so desperate, bored, overfed or upset by social media to quit them. Social networks are very useful for me, they make my life easier, I can do something in boring moments of life. If someone forced me to leave social media, I would probably communicate with friends via ordinary SMS messages, or chatting with them by various games chats or external applications that do not refer strictly to social networks.
Rather yes. It's actually depends on the person. I have an accounts in different social media, but I never check it during working day/study, only in free time. Is there a big difference between this and radio listening?
But of course, if somebody can't control himself, and social media are preventing him from performing his tasks, so you have to do something. But I think even if to forcefully deny him access to all social media, such person will still find something to distract himself from.
2. Why social media are so important in our society?
In my opinion s.m. for some people, who are too shy for real-life interactions, can be good opportunity to stay in touch with another people. It can be even useful for mental health(not social media, but communicating with other people).
But of course, there are also disadvantages of such interactions.
3. Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
I don't see the point in that(again, only because I don't check my s.m. during working day).
Yes, he is convincing people not to use social media, and I somehow do the same to my close friends, just don't want them to waste their time. for example, Chinese version of Tik Tok is just a brainwashing app, but teenagers are wasting time on it 24/7, I would rather read more and learn more than waste time this way, anyway, social media for pure communication is still so important that I would not quit these kinds of apps.
2.Why social media are so important in our society?
For sure it must be so important, because social media is a tool and platform for people to communicate and share ideas, insights, experiences and perspectives with each other, based on this, people can absorb a lot of new information and knowledge. However, social media is a double-edged sword that can also somehow destroy a person’s life.
3.Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
Yes, I did, to be honest, I used to browse social media and post daily life almost everyday before 19 years old, and later I found out that it was just a waste of time, if we really need to get in touch with friends who really care us, we just need to keep talking once a while with heart through some pure app only for chatting, 'post' your day in the group chat but not a social media website. This saves me a lot of time to do other more useful things.
2. As I mentioned above, social media contain a lot of needed information. There is also unnecessary information that clutters our brains and even distracts our attention. I think that a person who uses social media reasonably shouldn't have any problems, addiction, etc.
3. No, I can't imagine quiting social media because it is a means of information from the outside world and communication with friends.
2. Social media allowed people to stay in touch with much larger group of their friends than it was possble in the past so i think that this is its main power and meaning and that's the reason that it became so important.
3. I've thought about that but never done it as i'm not really using social media that much, mainly for news feed.
2. It has started to be a natural part of people’s lives. If someone doesn’t have a Facebook account, others may wonder whether he/she exists. It’s also another thing that can help people to present themselves without communicating with others. Social media can also be a getaway for daily problems. By looking at other people’s lives you may forget about your own problems and start looking at others.
3. Yes, it sometimes came to my mind. However, the only things that prevent me from such decision is FB groups and messenger. When you have work to do, especially with big group of people, it can be very helpful and work gets better organised with these tools.
2. Thanks to social media we can be in touch with large group of friends or keep up to date what's going on on the world. It's much easier to do some things using social media like advertise or sell a product than without them.
3. I have never thought to quit social media. As I said it's easier to communicate with friends. If I had to quit social media, I would probably do it but until no one forces me to do it, I will use them :)
2. It seems to me that this is a broad topic, it is difficult for me to define exactly. Each of us looks at it a little differently. There are many functions, of course we can replace them in another way, such as access to information from the world. But some od people feel better if they have thousands of friends on Facebook, having hundreds of hearts under photos from people around the world. They care about fame or belonging. For me, the definite advantage is that it is a communicator. You can easily find someone (even after many years, or another country) and contact them. We don't always have a phone or email. So it's just convenient.
3. I try to limit social media. I would like to delete Facebook applications, but I need to have access to group and the information that appears there. That's why I log out at least during the day so I don't hang out on Facebook. Currently, I would not give up my messenger because it is the main form of communication and it is easier to contact than to get a phone number. I didn't have Instagram for many years and I was happy with it (unfortunately I had to download it recently).
Well, I don't think about quitting from social medias. I have never felt that I would not be able to live without it. I have these days when I am not using any of social medias at all.
Social media plays a huge role in our society. People use it for many reasons. For many people social media is the only way to communicate with each other. People also like to see what are their friends doing and check latest news.
I never thought about quiting social media. I think that social media is for everyone but it's good to know how to use it right. I use social media mainly for contact and I can imagine contact with others without social media - I would simply use sms and phone calls. And I like the fact that following news pages always gives me news that I want to know.
I only use Instagram and messengers, but I don't think I can delete them. It is possible to reduce the amount of time you spend on social media. You can set a daily limit in each application. And when you've exhausted it, you'll be notified. But if it happens that you I have to delete such applications or social media will suddenly disappear - I can communicate like in the old days, through calls and text messages.
2. As he mentioned, business is being held there, products are promoted there, people chat with friends, find new friends and so on.
3. I don’t use social media too much already. That one thing that keeps me on Facebook is actually that I won't be able to be in touch with my friends if I am to quit. Aside from that, my page is nearly abandoned and I can be offline for days without remembering about it.
2. The answer is very simple. Just because everybody uses it. It is easy to get to people whether you are a company or a private person. Social media (at least facebook) does not only provide external content to you, but also allows groups of people to organise and easily get in touch. Social media are also important because all they require is just a smart phone and access to internet, which nowadays everyone hasand therefore, everyone can have easy access to anyone's attention.
3. No, Ive never thought about or and most likely will never really will. Only social media portal I use is facebook(along with messenger). I feel neither need to lower time I spend on it, which is not long anyways, nor the problem with some kind of addiction. To me it is a tool to browse content when bored, as well as communicator to groups and friends.
Not in all aspects. I try limit myself in use of social media. I uninstalled facebook app from my phone and mute all notifications from all comunicators that i use but it realy makes life easier and in my opinion life without it can be more rought. It's like driving to your work 2 hours every day by bus when you can go there in 15 minutes if you would have a car. You can but at the same time you lose something. So limiting is for sure good but not using it at all in my opinion is also not making best out of internet as we can.
I don't know. Maybe it is that it makes life easier or maybe that we can create ourselves to be a person that we would like to be. I think everyone can have a different oppinion on that. My opinion is that i can contact with my friends easier or can find some inspirational photographs on instagram or find out about something interesting on facebook or on youtube.
I didn't think about quiting from social media. For me it would be hard to resign from the posibilities i comfort from using them.
I fully agree with this. I am addicted to Facebook and Instagram myself, I browse them several times a day. Sometimes I have to control myself not to spend so much time with them.
2.Why social media are so important in our society?
Because in the media we can be who we want. We get rid of the shame that accompanies us in real life. We show ourselves the way we want to be seen.
3.Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
I can't imagine that. I would stop having contact with many friends from abroad. Access to materials and events would be more difficult. It's very convenient in our time.
2. Social media are important for most people, because it gives them an illusion of accomplishment and a boost of dopamine.
3. Personally, I use social media only to communicate with colleagues from the university, as it is the easiest way to get in touch with them. To communicate with closer friends, I use iMessage or Telegram as these apps don't contain any unnecessary functions and they at least pretend to care about users' privacy.
2. Nowadays it's the main communication channel, we see what is going on in lives of other people, we talk through social media sites and have topics to talk about thanks to it. What's more I think social media is quite often used by people for self-validation, which is a bit sad.
3. I don't really use social media sites. I try to limit it just to contain basic information about me. Although I thought about completely quitting social media, but it would be much harder to communicate with others.
1. I agree with his statement, it is one of most dangerous addiction these days.
2. I think people nature is to belong to the group and be appreciated. Facebook and others social media makes it easier to achieve it. We love to publish some photos of our holidays and share with other people with our statement. It is a tool by which we can discuss about random people or our close friends. It makes it faster and easier. It can be positive, because the usage can makes our life more productive. It depends how we use it.
3. I have never thought about it. I need to communicate with other people and why shouldn`t I use facebook if it may be the easiest and fastest tool. Sometimes, when I am on holiday, I quit social media for a week and I feel relaxed and better. However I have never thought about quitting it.
2. As I said before, many events are happening online in social media. No one want to avoid that. These media are user firendly and free, I think it is obvious that is popular and addicting.
3. No. I have never thought about that. The only thing is that we should use social media for our purpose not to change our style and live because of trend or style in social media.
Yes, I do. Social media plays a very important role in our everyday life and it is one of the best channels for any kind of advertising.
2. Why social media are so important in our society?
I think that at this point of development it would very difficult to find a different channel where people could quickly communicate with each other or advertise products so effectively. Unfortunately almost every business is dependent on social media if it wants to achieve set goals or benchmarks. I don’t like it very much but that’s the way it is right now.
3. Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
Yes, I keep thinking about it. I don’t like the content that there is right now. To me, it used to be a simple solution for communication with friends. Of course, Messenger is still present but it grew to become much more than that and I don’t really like it. I have been thinking about switching to Whatsapp more but from what I’ve heard, Facebook is planning to increase connection between WhatsApp and Facebook/Messenger apps which might result in the same thing with just a different name of the app. If that happens, I think I will just stick to traditional phone calls and SMS.
Yes I agree, social media are now one of the most important think in people life.
2.Why social media are so important in our society?
Social media have everything people need to stay in touch with other friends, family.
3.Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
No i haven't.
Mostly I use social media for news and memes, so I don't think about quiting them. You can talk to people or write a message in some chat or messenger that is not connected to social media.
I agree with the statement, I think we should resign or at least limit the use of social media. In my opnio, nowadays we are waste too much time on social networking sites instead of doing something productive.
2. Why social media are so important in our society?
Social media are so important in our society, because it is the simplest and fastest way to communicate between people. Additionally, the world of social media allows us to create a better, virtual image of ourselves, which allows us to improve our self-esteem for a while.
3. Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
I have considered leaving the social media many times, but so far it has made it easier for me to obtain materials necessary to study. I also have many people and families who live far away from me and social media make it easier for me to get in touch with them.
2. As i mentioned in previous question: it's for our entertainment and social life with our friends. It's also a good place for gathering informations.
3. I had to quit social media for about a month because of high school exams, it wasn't difficult for me, it was just cutting off my entertainment part.
2. Because on the Internet you can be whoever you want to and it's so easy to create a fake persona on social media. You can pretend to be happier/healthier/prettier or more intresting than you really are in the real life. Moreover social media is low-effort entertainment
3. No i have never thought about quitting social media for me it's not just fun - it's a source of information, luckly my current lifestyle forced me to limit my social media usage
2. Perhaps social media is important because you can share moments of your life with others. But it is also a way to show off and show your superiority, for example by posting photos in expensive restaurants or a luxury car.
3. Yes. I already did it a few years ago. I have only Facebook and only to discuss projects with classmates.
2. The ease of communication, making new acquaintances and disseminating information has made social media an integral part of our society.
3. Yes, I even closed accounts on some portals. However, without some portals (e.g. Facebook) I can't do without. My communication with friends is based on Facebook and Messenger.
2. Source of entertainment, place where you can keep up to date with the news from around the world and most importantly for me only option to communicate with friends with whom I don't see too often. And it's easy to use.
3. I never thought about it. This is my way of communicating with people around the world and I would not want to lose it. I can control myself to not spend too much time in social media, but communication with my friends is what I really care about.
2. Social media are very popular because everybody nowadays uses the internet. People use them for various positive things, e.g. learning, knowing people, talking with them. Unfortunately, sometimes social media are used to slander and harass others.
3. I never thought about stopping using social media. I think I don't use them very often and they are only a form of entertainment for me and there is no need for me to quit them.
2. Social media is a tool to communicate and share ideas. It's a most powerful and quick way to get needed information and be in touch with news from around the world.
3. Actually, I don't even need to think about that. I use social media more than one minute a day ONLY when I'm chatting with someone.
Well, I do. Nowadays social media is taking big part in our daily life. People are getting closed and they usually prefer to chat.
Why social media are so important in our society?
Social networks are multifunctional and have a very simple format which makes it easy to use.
Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
Many times, ineffectually. The things is that we feel distant after that. It has become part of our society.
Do you agree with his statement?
1. Yes I do. But In my opinion it's all just about balancing using social media in our daily life so we have time for other things.
Why social media are so important in our society?
2.Because they are connecting us like never before.
Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
3. Yes I did, many times. I prefered keeping in touch via SMS or just phone calls and if anyone wants to know what is happening in my life, can meet me face to face and talk instead of checking instagram
Yes, I totally agree with his statement.
Why social media are so important in our society?
First of all, it is a great way of communication that not forces the interlocutor to answer at this moment of time. Also social media is a great platform for business and marketing. Moreover, it is a great news source that allows you to see the situation from all the angles.
Have you ever thought to quite social media? If so, how will you get in touch with other people?
No, I haven't. I cannot imagine my life without social media. It helps me to be in touch with my friends that are far away.
3. No. Social media can give many benefits that people who leave are not aware of them.
