I'll be delited to give you my own view ... When it comes to EVOLUTION, social media has awesomely evolved and I can remember back then when I got my first social Account 2go so many of us may remember, it was indeed the bomb. We graduated to Eskimi, waplog and finally I landed on Facebook in the year 2009 which my neighbor assisted me in creating... Then it was a small button - phone I was using, so I enjoyed some PRIVILEGE of the website to an extent. Until I finally got my first Android phone - Guess what, Twitter account followed, next was Instagram and so it continued

THERE WERE OTHER PLATFORMS THEN...

But this few were just over the top, I didn't mention BBM because I didn't us it even when I got a Blackberry phone. Until recent years when Android phones flooded the market we started seeing the emerging of new sites and most if these sites doesn't have enough strict guiding principles so the flops you see around is just over alarming

Honestly speaking there is more BENEFITS to social media than it's disadvantages...

In every positive there's a negative remember, even in every good there's a bad so we shouldn't look at the negatives and just frown at the good, my mom use to warn me not to register for any social media platforms back then, and She'll mention all manner of atrocities going on there... When she's advising I'll just be like Mom you won't understand, I'll just smile in my mind because it's like medicine after death. But I use mine for the right purpose though

WHEN IT COMES TO BENEFITS

It has helped people come out of their shells, you know some persons can really interact more on social media than they can actually talk facially so it has helped allot of introverts to air their views and opinions on things.

And it has also helped in the passing of information easier, left for the news media they will only tell us what they wish but with the help of people around the globe in this social media platforms we can get information at the snap of our fingers

IT CAN ONLY BE BAD IN THE SENSE THAT

The fact that it causes separation for some reasons, because some persons don't know How, When and Where to use their social medias... So that's the area I'll frown at _ You can't be sitting with someone in order to enjoy their company and in the end they are engaging in other conversations

And there should actually be an age verification process before one can gain access to these platforms, so as to control viewers content. So it's bad in the sense that anybody can pick up a smart phone and create and account

_{But all things being equal social media has moved the world to another height, so I'll never cease to see and share it's benefits... And the awesomeness of it's EVOLUTION But more cautions should be taken. Thanks again for the opportunity to share my thoughts and view on this very topic, and I do hope you learnt something New...}
