Life without social media would be very hectic
While growing up as a kid, Social media was not yet a thing in my country and we did not miss it because as humans we can not miss what we do not know or experience.
Life was fun as it is, not with tech but by more physical communication with others, I visit my friends in the next street and they visit me too, we have games that we play like the Sega, 300 CD games and I can't forget my favorite television cartoon shows.
My favorite cartoons were Spiderman, superman, Justice League, the Zeta Project, and some others that I can't remember their names but the list is not complete without adding Tom and Jerry, there are times fixed for these shows to be done on different tv channels like Stv, Dbn, channels and Mitv, Once it is 3 p.m, I abandon everything am doing to watch those cartoons till 5 p.m.
So life was not boring growing up as a kid I enjoyed my childhood, it was so much fun with friends
The first time I heard about social media was in senior secondary school [sss 1] a friend of mine had this Symbian phone and at first, all he did was rent it out because it had real soccer games, not the Nokia torchlight phone type so we all take turn to pay him 50 Naira back then and he leaves the phone for us for an hour and that was also when I knew about Facebook because my best friend then opened an account and I do him spending a lot of time on the app but I was not curious to know more about it, I was more interested in the soccer game, not until 2go came out.
This was like 3 years after I was done with secondary school and already my first phone which was a Nokia Asha 200.
I was not at first infatuated but the more I used it, the more addicted I became, it became something I could not do without because making friends was easy and fast. it was the beginning of disconnection from physical friends and a new beginning to bond with the online people.*
Social media was not important while growing up but a lot of things have changed now!
Social media is now the source of Income for many people globally. The likes of Facebook and TikTok pay their users and some do not have another source of Income aside from it.
The hive platform is also a social media and it has done a good job of connecting like-minded people and we also earn from it.
Social media is also a source of entertainment for people, especially introverts, they can spend their whole day moving from one social media app to another, watching reels and skits, reading other's posts, and other stuff.
All these benefits would be gone without social media.
This means no more online jobs because without social media there would be no way to communicate with the people I work with. so this means I would have to go back to doing offline jobs and work all day without time for myself.
I have been in that position when all I did was work, eat, and sleep, no friends nor did I have the time to talk much with family, it was very stressful and I do not wish for that lifestyle again.*
Social media is here to stay.

Social media has brought in new opportunities and connections, emphasizing the importance of recognizing both its positive and negative attributes.
Yea, it is very important in our life and we can't do without it cos it will be difficult to survive. and it is true it has the negative effects but the positive ones are more
Yeah, perhaps we use it rightly
Through social media we also get information about many new things and we can also earn money from here in many ways so it has many benefits for us.
the earning part is the best
Seriously, social media is going no where. It has brought a lot of positive changes into our lives, it has connected us to so many amazing people and I can't even imagine my life without it.
me too, without it, we will be limited to only things going on in our area only
Human has the power of adaptability very well and I think without social media human can survive which will be a matter of time only. But I think without social media the economic condition of country will badly hamper because most of the business of highly dependent on social media.
the economy will become worst, inflation at its peak and many people will suffer
Yay! 🤗

It will be very hard because we are used to social media lifestyle already so I wonder how we would cope
we will go back to our teaching jobs lol
Life without social media will be a bit rigid too, in terms of limiting the possibilities we can get in some aspects of life. Only making friends within physical proximity.
indeed, many of us would be ignorant of what is happening around the world without social media
Social media has made life easier in many ways. You can stay in your room and interact with millions of people across the globe.
It also gave many people oppurtunity of having a good job online ranging from tech to content creation, to digital skills.
Life without social media will be too boring, but will adapt.
boring and hard.
we have social media to thank for the positions we are today, even though it has disadvantages but i think the advantages supercedes it
Truly, the advantages supercedes the disadvantages. All thanks to social media we can interact together and even earn on Hive.
I once stayed in a village for some months as part of my second year program in the university. We had no electricity and no internet connectivity.
For the first part of our stay we really felt the impact on our lives but as time went on we started to adapt. After that, I came to the realisation that we have become too attached to social media that we can’t do away with it anymore. Aside those working online, some of us waste the whole day on TikTok and all of those unnecessary stuff on the internet which doesn’t do us any good.
I think that, in as much as social media has its positive sides, it also has its negative and so it all has to do with the individual and how you make it impact your life.
yea many of us are addicted to it, but you also said you learn to cope without it, the thing is everyone will cope but we will miss it cos it makes life easier, I mean our source of income.
The difference between us and some others is that we use it to make money and it takes money away from some people
