Benefits of Social Media – Digital Gift from the Ancient World
In short: When the world became mesmerizing even for the fingers
Earlier the world used to change in years, now every second it is taking a new form. When a person can sit in his room and talk to the whole world, when a tweet has the power to topple a government, and when an Instagram reel can make a stranger a star - then understand that you are living in the era of Social Media.
Social Media is not just an app, it has become a digital culture. It has revolutionized every aspect of life - peace, trade, human relationships, and self. Let's look at the problems from a deeper perspective - not just for use, but also for understanding.
1. Contact with the whole world - Global Connectivity
Social media has eliminated decisions. Now it is not just a matter of telephone or email. Platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and LinkedIn have created instant and deep connection between people.
Example: Jibran from Karachi is a writer. He started writing his stories on Medium and Twitter. An Indian publisher liked his work and today Jibran's e-book is trending on top in Amazon India. This happened only because of one post.
Emotional Layer: Earlier people used to think only locally, now everyone can think globally. Now it is not the city but the whole world which sees your talent.
2. A new way of teaching – Digital school in every home
Social media is no longer just a matter of gossip or memes. This is a digital university. There is some expert for every skill, every field, every subject on YouTube, Instagram reels, or LinkedIn.
Example: Bahawalpur's Hira learned Python programming from YouTube. Posted her projects on GitHub, and today she is working as a remote developer in a UAE company - without a degree.
Deep Reflection: Education is no longer hidden in books, but in clicks. Every night is a new lesson for those who want to search.
3. Easy way to trade – Digital shop in every home
For those who cannot open a shop, social media has opened the way to online market. A short post, a good caption, and a good picture - these three things can make you a businessman.
Example: Naila belongs to Pishawar started making homemade candles. She created a page on Instagram with the name “@ScentedSoulPK”. She used to share pictures of every order. In 6 months, her business grew so much that now she has hired full-time employees.
Realization: Business does not start only with money, it starts with social.
4. Awareness and voice – when every voice rings
There was a time when the public was silent and only the media spoke. Today social media has made everyone a reporter, poet, critic, and reformer.
Example: There was an electricity problem in a small village in Balochistan. A student made a video, #PowerForBalochistan started trending on Twitter. The government took action within 48 hours.
Insight: Now justice is not only obtained from the court, but also from the feed. Every post is a voice - if it is understood.
5. The Magic of Freelancing – From Home to the World
Social media has opened up a new world of employment. People are finding clients through freelancing websites, LinkedIn networking, and Facebook groups — and earning money from all over the world.
Example: Hamza from Faisalabad created a profile on Fiverr and shared his writing services in Facebook groups. Today he has clients from USA, Germany and UAE.
Emotional Power: When the way to earn a living is a mobile app, every young person can become an entrepreneur.
6. Mental Health and Wellness – Support of Emotions
Not only pictures are posted on social media, but emotions are also posted. Mental health awareness pages, yoga coaches, self-love reels - all these show people the path of emotional healing.
Example: Rida from Sialkot was suffering from anxiety. She saw a reel of a therapist on Instagram, followed his content, and then took online sessions with the same therapist. Today she shares her story with others.
Philosophical Thought: There is some medicine in every scroll - if you understand it.
7. Recognition of talent – when skill becomes viral
Now your talent can reach not just the mehfils but the global stage as well. Poetry, music, painting, stand-up comedy - the way to go viral is open in every field.
Example: Ahmed from Quetta posted videos of his sarangi on YouTube. BBC Music saw his video and invited him to a documentary.
Lesson: Your identity is now not just limited to your neighborhood – the whole world can become your fan.
SEO Keywords: Go viral on TikTok, talent showcase social media, promote your art online
8. Relationships,love and emotional safety
Social media has not only created a connection between people, it has also started a new journey of emotions. Long-lost friends were found, old loves were regained, and new relationships were formed.
Connection B/W people
Example: Lahore's Hassan created a group of his school class on Facebook. There he met an old friend whom he met after 10 years. That meeting brought new peace in the lives of both.
Heartfelt Point: Social media is not just a screen, sometimes it is also a medium of the heart.
9. Real-time information - every moment is breaking
Now you don't have to wait for TV. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram stories provide instant updates on the world. News and alerts are available in real-time - and this can prove to be life-saving in any disaster or event.
Example: During the Murree snowstorm, a local made a live video and tagged the location. The rescue team tracked them from there and saved the lives of those people.
Takeaway: Social media is not just a picture – it is also a tool of life.
10. Freedom of Self Expression and Creativity
The pen is yours, the canvas is the world's. You write, speak, hum - there is no censor. Social media has given every person a platform where he can not only live, but also feel.
Example:Noor from Sukkur started writing her feelings in Urdu poetry. Created her page on Instagram with the name "Women is life". Today she has 100K followers and TEDx invite - just because of the power of expression.
Emotional Beauty: There is a story hidden inside every human being. Social media has given people the opportunity to hear that story.
Final Thoughts: A Journey of Thought or a Deal of a Scroll?
Social media is very safe. Sitting on it, you can reach your destination of worry – or you can drown in useless scrolls. It depends on your intentions and goals.
When you look at every post as a reason, when you consider every like as a means of progression of human relationship, then social media is not just an app for you – it becomes a bridge between the earth and sky.
Ask question to yourself
What to do next?
How are you?
What will you choose today?
Or do you want to seek something, say something, and make a difference in the world?
From today social media is not in your hands – it is in your mind.
