The gateway for all.

The presence of social media has added a lot of tremendous achievements to the media world at large. Its value and relevance can't be undermined. The rate at which it gradually revolved and evolved has been alarming. There is virtually no place on earth the presence of social media isn't felt. Or maybe i should say 90 percent of the countries in the world have the presence of social media.

It has been a great and reliable means of sending out information because of its widespread reach. You can connect with millions of people from different countries, works of life, languages, and many more without you leaving the comfort of your bed. Many times we even go as far as sending urgent information right from our restrooms, how powerful and positive is the influence of social media. It has really been a means for first first-hand information about anything going on in and around our environment.

It has really been of help in the area of sharing our thoughts and emotions. Most times when we might be boxed up and we might be looking out for someone or a place to share our thoughts and emotions, the social media platforms are readily available to absorb all we have to say. I will say they are great absorbers. The likes of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and many other great social media platforms have been doing a great job. social media has and will always be valuable. It is impossible to talk about the positive sides of social media without talking of its great usefulness in the area of activism. It is a unique platform where every citizen, group, organization, and individual can lend their voices against all unpleasant things they might be going through at any particular time. It has made activism simple and powerful. You don't necessarily have to carry on your hand a placard before the world will be notified about all that is going on in your country or state. I would term social media as the invisible and yet visible force that we have in this present generation and dispensation. All voices from different parts of the world are heard through the power of these social media platforms, and also amazingly in their own respective languages.

Social media is a place for rescue for the downhearted and depressed. With the power of social media you can easily pick up your phone and while scrolling you might just come across an unusual post that requires fast action, you can and will be of help to such individual by just putting a call through to the respective authorities in charge or perhaps you can just drive down if the location isn't too far from you. It has been a place of rescue for many and more.

Of all the positive sides of social media, I find this part of it very interesting. Social media is a place where you can visit and be stress-free. Like i said earlier that it is an absorber, yes it is a stress relief platform. You will find a lot of funny pictures, videos, and comments just anything you want to look out for. You will be surprised at the smile on your face after viewing a couple of funny posts. Laughter they say is the best medicine.

On the positive side of social media, i won't be happy if perhaps i forget to mention is the Business side of it. It is a place where you can generate a steady inflow of income for yourself. There is a wider range of coverage in terms of users and relevance in different countries. Right from where you are you can market and sell various goods and services just from your social media platform.

It has become a home for every business and company. Right now if your business or product isn't on social media you are limiting the potential of your sales.

The positive sides of social media still involve a lot more than this. Endeavor to engage in the use of social media today, and enjoy its loads of positive sides.
