IMPACT of Facebook Vs. Steemit On The Society.

Barely one year steemit came into existence it impact on the society has been enormously positive, unlike facebook which the negative effect outweighs it positive impact on the society.

In today’s internet age, social-networking is one of the most efficient ways to communicate with people.  People all over the world use these sites for chatting, sharing pictures, etc. Undoubtedly, Social media has a great impact in the young and old people of today’s society. However, the effects derived from interacting with other individuals through social-networking can be both harmful and beneficial at the same time. Being a user myself, I am well-aware of the effects that steemit and facebook has on the society. 

Positive Impacts of Facebook

1. First of all, easier communication can be done through facebook. 

2. You can share information with one or more individuals at the same time. 

3. You can also meet friends, old and new, on Facebook. 

4. You can also display your interests, birthday, age and even your relationship status. Photos and videos can also be viewed on Facebook

Negative Impact of Facebook

PRIVACY is a major aspect in our life, we like to keep things to ourselves when we don’t want to talk, but this is not really observed in Facebook. When you display personal information online, it can be accessed by people you don’t have any knowledge of. This allows them to know more about you and become closer with you. Situations like these can cause the following:

1. Stalking:  it is a scary thing and it comes in two types, 

online stalking and physical stalking.

• Online stalking refers to virtual communication, such as e-mail, chatting, etc. When you display your contact numbers and e-mail or anything that might enable someone to talk to you, they can communicate with you easily. 

• Physical stalking is, of course, following and observing someone. Now that is really scary, so if I were you, be careful with what you put online on Facebook.

Another danger regarding privacy is

2. Identity theft: some people who use Facebook display too much information, such as e-mails, school or workspace, date of birth, contact numbers, home addresses, etc. Sometimes, with enough information, other people can impersonate you. They can steal your money or acquire privileges by pretending to be you. Then, the next you know, your bank account is empty!

3. Addiction: The people who get addicted to facebook nowadays are young kids. What happens is  they neglect their studies and prioritize Facebook more that’s why they’re tired or sleepy when they go to school because they stay up late chatting with they’re friends. They forget to do their assignments and they forget to study for quizzes and other examinations, resulting to failing marks. 

Introducing the last, impact of Facebook on modern day man is:

4. Wasting of time and effort without any Reward for your time.

This is what steemit blogging platform corrected by helping people to gain financial freedom.

That is why is very difficult for people to discriminate in this platform. In this platform, people follow, support and upvote your content without minding the country you’re from. There is this spirit of oneness among members. It is very difficult to find this attitude in another online platform. In steemit, the only country, colour, language you will see is, comment, upvote, resteem and follow. That is the unifying factor that exist in this platform.
