This post that I will be writing about will give you my opinion on the topic that social media does make us smarter. I totally support this topic and you can see my reasons below.

Social Media. Imagine you are living in a world without any social media, you wouldn't have any way to chose between products based on other people's experience, no way to quickly start a conference call with a lot of colleagues. Wouldn't that be dumb?

Social Media makes us smarter every day by putting us through real life situations.

Social media are websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

The reason why I love social media is that it helps me connect with multiple people and makes me smarter day by day due to the quick news or answers that you find online. Below mentioned are the reasons that I believe that social media makes us smarter:

1 - Social media enables us to make intelligence choice - choosing a restaurant or a pair of shoes becomes easy post reviewing people’s views on social media

2 - While talking to and advising kids and teens on a one-on-one basis is considered ideal, social media can do the same much more effectively and to a broader audience all at once

3 - Social media can be used as a voice of reason in society. Various social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are being used by the youth to create a voice for the voiceless.

4 - Social media has enabled more young people to be creative and innovative. Social media sites mostly depend on active participation and sharing of different content. This makes it so that young people think outside the box and come up with new content when sharing information.

5 - Social media offers overwhelming and abundant data - the trick is to choose the best information, putting it in the right context. This ability of identifying the need, sorting the information and then making a final decision is a process or technique which makes us smart, Building our life skills to handle chaos and confusion, in an ambiguous world. Therefore social media clearly builds clarity of thought in a processed way.

6 - Social media makes us smart in connecting varied information through different sources and drive deeper understanding of a subject. It helps us to be thorough with any topic and understand it better rather than just knowing it fr the heck of it.

An examples where social media has actually played a huge role is in enlightening the world with the horrible events that took place in Syria. Social media helped to improve the issue of Syrian refugees. The site was called one refugee child. It took donations and helped the refugee children who were suffering from the lack of food, sanitation and other basic necessities such as education and much more.

A few people might say that social media isn't reliable at all, and flashes news that aren't true, people use it for fun, so how can it make us smarter? Well, I believe that there are authorities that have already taken care of that problem and are banning sites with fake information. Furthermore, if there is any fake information posted, in the global society of around 7 and a half billion people, a handful number of people will know that it's not true and therefore will not consider that piece of information and share it with the world with the true answer and evidence to prove it.

Therefore, I believe that social media isn't at all a bad influence on any one, but interns makes us smarter day by day.
