‘Social Media’ - A gift to society

Aurangabad, March 9, 2018: College students of MGM College find ‘social media’ as a gift for the society. The common reason for the same came out to be that it is helpful in maintaining contact and is a good platform for education field.

“It is a great platform for expressing ideas and thoughts.” Said Nandan Rathod, 2^nd year student of Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College (JNEC). Yash Lapshetwar, 3^rd year student of MGM College of Agriculture and Biotech said, “Social media is good for society as one is able to connect with each other and we can gain knowledge from it.” Also, students spoke about the credibility of social media which were varying from student to student. Yash continuing said, “It is completely trustworthy if some exceptions are removed but still, I trust it completely.” Whereas, Nandan said that social media should be trusted but not always. A 3^rd year, mechanical engineering student, JNEC, Shubham Darda said,” ‘Youtube’ is good for the society and ‘WhatsApp’ is okay-okay whereas Facebook is not at all necessary for teenagers. Social media should be trusted but not most of the times and people should not share or upload personal opinions on topics which can create havoc in the region. Let media do its work.”

Aaditya Mahamuni, 3^rd year student of mechanical engineering, JNEC, says that social media is good for the society because there’s connectivity between people of different regions and that it always gives rise to riots hence it should not be considered as credible. On the other hand, 2^nd year students of mechanical engineering, JNEC and MGM College of Food Technology, both believe that social media is trustworthy and good but till a limit and only if used wisely. It cannot be trusted blindly and should not mean for time pass and that it is time saving as it gives updates in seconds.
