How is digital media and communication helpful for todays generation ?
Hello aspirant,
One of the major help of digital media is in front of us, during pandemic times when students, teachers, workers, etc. no one was able to go for their work due to digital media and new ideas we were able to do online classes, work from home, and many more. these all facilities were provided to us because of social digitalization.
Social media platforms are becoming popular day by day. The majority of people especially our youth spend a lot of hours on it every day. There may be many disadvantages of it but less than the advantages that we are receiving. Our youth are really doing wonders through social media platforms. Some benefits of it are given below:
- provides the opportunity for learning education
- develops creativity and innovation
- source of income for many
- develops social and communication skills
- space for exploring creativity
- enhances critical thinking and assessment
- allows youth to set their objectives
- inspires youth and creative minds
- reduces mental problems.
Due to social media, and digital help our communication skills have improved and we can easily contact anyone we want. Due to calls, we can connect to anyone no matter how far the person is. We can easily take care of sick family, friends, and others too by just staying in touch.
Digital media connects people in ways never before possible, enabling us to maintain friendships across time and distance. Digital media also facilitates interaction across social, economic, cultural, political, religious and ideological boundaries, allowing for enhanced understanding. Some studies did find that digital media takes some people more aware of stressful events in others lives, resulting in higher reported levels of tension.
Thank you
