On the World Social Media Day: Jitters or Jiggles

  It's a world of laughter, a world of tears

It's a world of hopes and a world of fears

There's so much that we share 

that it's time we're aware

It's a small world after all


It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all

It's a small, small world


It's a small world, after all; the phrase from the song holds good when we have access to social media at our fingertips. On World Social Media Day, we know we can't ignore it entirely and live; it has become an inseparable aspect of our personal and professional lives, shaping how we communicate and interact. 


As social beings, humans inherently need social connections to thrive. Thanks to social media, the world feels smaller than ever. The advent of social media has led to a significant reduction in the perceived distance between individuals from different parts of the world. As a result, people are now more interconnected than ever before, despite physical boundaries that may exist between them. 

In essence, online social media communities have revolutionized the way we interact with one another, making it easier to form and maintain valuable connections that can positively impact our lives. From communication and collaboration to research and development, technology has transformed the way we live, work, and interact with one another. 

The ability to bridge distances and break down barriers has opened up new opportunities for growth, innovation, and progress, making the world a more connected and accessible place for all. Thankfully, online social media communities offer a means for individuals with similar interests to support one another, even when they stay far apart.

Social media rings many bells in our heads; for a few, it gives jiggles, and for a few, it gives jitters. With innovation brimming every fortnight, we must brace ourselves to mold lives accordingly by bringing them into our lifestyle. 

Social media is like a giant glass door where individuals must decide how many layers of concealment to remove or add. In today's world, being active on social media is essential as it can significantly impact one's personal and professional life. However, it is up to us to make smart decisions on when and how much to share.

Here is an acrostic poem exploring how something can benefit when used wisely but a hindrance if not. 


As we celebrate World Social Media Day, it is worth acknowledging the undeniable role that social media plays in our daily lives. Although there are concerns about its impact on our society, we cannot deny its immense influence. Therefore, it is essential to use social media responsibly, leveraging its benefits while being mindful of its potential drawbacks. By doing so, we can harness its power to enhance our lives and the world around us.

Final Thought on World Social Media Day

Everyone has a unique reaction to social media platforms. For some, it can be an enjoyable experience. However, for others, it may bring discomfort or stress as it can increase anxiety levels. 

It is crucial that we do not rely solely on modern technologies and social media viewpoints in our pursuit of progress. While these can certainly be valuable tools, they also have the potential to do more harm than good if not used responsibly. If we become too reliant on these technologies and viewpoints, we may be regressing rather than moving forward. Therefore, we must approach these resources with caution and a critical eye, always keeping in mind the potential consequences of our actions. By doing so, we can ensure that we are using these tools to their fullest potential and truly making progress toward a better future.

On this Social Media Day, let us make more connections, create beautiful memories, share our joys and sorrows, lend a helping hand, and build a beautiful digital world where everyone walks on the same pedestal.

Stay social because it's a small world, after all !!
