Social Media has become a necessity in our lives. Be it willingly or not, it is now impossible to think of a day without social media. The usage is now, not limited to get a social life, chatting, and making new friends, but the horizon has stretched gradually and is continuing doing so. If you use social media applications like Instagram, Connected India, Facebook, etc., you might already know what we are to discuss.

Everything is available on social media and we are all aware of it. The list is just endless and we are thankful to it for positively impacting our lives. Social media has brought a lot of positive and optimistic impacts not only in our daily lives but to the entire world. To get a better idea about it, let’s find out below.

1. 1. Banker of Banks– We are not here to talk about the supreme banking institutions, but about the banks in which we have our accounts and deal on a regular basis. Accepting deposits, making payments, transferring funds have become so much easy with so many applications like GPay, Paytm, PayPal, and so on. We are just a click away and you are done with all your money matters. And seeing a rise in this, social media has already begun to enter the field of acting as a banker to these banks. WhatsApp has already launched its payment platform Whatsapp Pay for its users to conveniently make payments with their contacts using the same app that they use to talk. Surely, we are looking for more into it in the future to come.

2. Healthcare – The ongoing Coronavirus or Covid-19 pandemic has made us witness what a positive impact it had in bringing people together and help in fighting the deadly virus. We were made aware of the pandemic, how to fight it, advice from doctors, consultation, medication, and everything related to the medical industry, social media has helped in saving all of us from it.

3. Disaster Management– Social media is helping us to combat disasters as well. The disaster management authorities as well as the news agency keep us update with various disasters which include floods, cyclones, which are to occur soon. This helps the people to protect themselves timely and relocate to a safe place somewhere else. Humanitarian aid is reached on time and rescue operations are done to prevent serious damage to the well-being of human and animal life.

4. Govern and get governed– Even how we are to be governed and raise our voices is done on social media. Raising our voices and opinions reaches out immensely and very rapidly among the users. Even various political parties have resorted to social media seeing the reach and impact it has which accounts for greater transparency as well.

5. Raise environmental concerns– Climate change and Global warming are the two hottest environmental concerns worrying all of us now and social media has made a strong impact in making people aware of it. A lot of webinars, initiatives, and practices are conducted online by way of live sessions which are attended by a good number of viewers and they understand the importance of protecting the planet in which we live.
