    Today’s world is a global village.

    Everyone is connected to one another in this vast network generated by


    the Internet. As said by Marshall McLuhan, a philosopher of communication theory, “The new electronic
    independence re-creates the world in the image of a global village.” This electronic independence is
    inherently dependent upon the Internet. It illuminates the lives of thousands of people by spreading
    knowledge internationally, thereby making us global citizens. 

    What is social media? forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social


    networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share
    information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)

    Students spend more time on social media than they do do using personnel email. Even Though, there is
    loss of privacy and safety, social media provides opportunities for connecting with friends, classmates,
    and people with shared interest. Today, the main aim of the student should be education and their
    future career. However, many students rely on the accessibility of information on social media. That
    means reduced focus on learning and retaining information. The study also points out the popularity of
    social networking sites among students community. The social networking sites and social media have
    revolutionized the world, bringing us closer than ever before. However, students can exploit this and use
    it for a better life, a better tomorrow. It should be used to connect, stay in touch, share views but not
    waste time on.

    Advantages: (knowledge)Social media users share among themselves day in and day out, giving and
    receiving information at rapid speeds. This information is more than funny cat videos; they share
    views and opinions; tips, tricks, and even DIY projects; and, among students, helpful information for
    classes.2) Social
    Media can increase student collaboration. Students become
    friends with their classmates on social media and are more likely to
    collaborate on projects. 

     Disadvantages: Students can get distracted and start using the social
    media for their purposes and not pay attention to the educational content.
    Distraction is going to happen to a certain extent, and there is not a lot the
    faculty member can do to prevent it. 
     Lack of control for inappropriate content
