Why Social Media is good for you?

"Social Media is ruining our generation" you must have heard this sentence hundred time if not more. Infinity scroll feed in our fingertips have changed our life.

But is this change only effecting us in bad way?

While social media can make us hung in our phone for long long hours with dopamine hit, it also has some good deeds to us which we often fail to look on.

The number of new business model and ideas that social media has brought today cannot be ignored. But today I am going to talk the different part that social media has helped humans on.

One of the most important thing, it helped us is, today information is accessible to all the people. Every person on earth with smartphone and internet connection have access to news and updates from all over the world. In previous time, for one to learn new things they need first accumulate the motivation to gain knowledge then find the resource (which were not easily accessible) like books, magazines, videos, etc.

But today, if there is any updates about cryptocurrency or AI, the news will come in their feed and get them updated. Even this can spark some motivation or ideas and they can easily learn about the thing by clicking a link on their same phone.

So the gap of skill to fill level became narrower.

But they never ask “ Are you happy? ” I reached out to this idea from a tweet where the guy tweets a famous quote by legendary Heath Ledger. I loved this idea and was fascinated. But when I think about it for more seconds I also sort of ask myself, is it practical? Imagine, meeting someone and asking if are you happy, it does sounds good but not a question to ask everyone when we meet. So what is the best way to ask about someone that implies the idea of asking are you happy? It may or can go like, what are you doing these days? And then continue asking about what is the progress or what is the idea behind that particular task or project. Also, there may not be always the case they reply with something.
