    SOCIAL NETWORKING PLATFORM :IS SOCIAL MEDIA AN EFECTIVE TOOL FOR
    COMMUNICATION OR JUST A SOPHISTICATED WAY TO STALK PEOPLE
    By:
    SAMYUKHTHAA. VRA

    Social media is a powerful communications medium, with widespread influence over


    cities as well as remote areas. However, it is only part of the digital revolution that we
    are witnessing. Digital transformation has not only influenced businesses and made the
    world more accessible, but it has also changed the way we communicate. It has had a
    long-lasting impact on the way people communicate and has now become an integral
    part of their lives. For instance, WhatsApp has redefined the culture of IMs (instant
    messaging) and taken it to a whole new level. Today, you can text anyone across the
    globe as long as you have an internet connection. This transformation has not only been
    brought about by WhatsApp but also Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.
    The importance of social media in communication is a constant topic of discussion.
    Online communication has brought information to people and audiences that previously
    could not be reached. It has increased awareness among people about what is happening
    in other parts of the world. Social media is a hot topic in today’s world. Its significance
    has become ‘the’ debate of the decade. Is it good for us or not? Is it benefitting or
    harming us? Several such questions come to one’s mind. However, considering it to be
    simply a means of stalking people would imply that we are casting a blind eye altogether
    on its advantages. Stalking is definitely a way that people employ for notorious
    purposes, and this implies misuse of the medium. However, social media has its
    advantages too. It was created as a platform for convenient communication. This
    communication could be of any sort, and in any form- It may be political, social,
    economical or personal. From connecting to relatives and friends living far away to
    searching for jobs, social media proves to be a boon. We air ideas, responses and
    comments online, we access news on real time basis- social media provides us facilities
    that are unique and exceptional.
    It has brought about practically the next biggest revolution after the invention of the
    wheel. So degrading its massive value to one aspect would be a little too convenient.
    Gaining knowledge of the world around us is another positive provision by social media.
    Consider this; if we merge ‘gaining knowledge’ with ‘stalking’, we can look at stalking
    as a positive reinforcement instead of a negative one. What is stalking? Stalking can be
    comprehended as understanding, evaluating and collecting information about a person
    for using it in whichever way.

    However, cyber stalking and criminal stalking HAS become a problem, owing to the
    Internet being available to any and every one. It is a social issue which needs to be dealt
    with strictly, and Section 72 – under IT Act of 2008 provides for aid and punishment to
    the victim and the convicted. Studies show that most of the stalkers, of the criminal sort,
    are psychopaths or have personality disorders. However, we cannot blame the whole
    world for the fault of a selected few.

    Many traditional media centers were made to rethink their news dissemination systems
    mainly because social media was making news travel faster. (One might say this is not
    necessarily a good thing since the validity of the news is questioned). With the way
    everyone around the world has become interconnected, it makes sense to want to know
    what is going on in their lives even through social media. Ideas are traveling faster
    and people living countries apart are affecting each other's world view.

    Social media is about conversations, community, connecting with the audience and
    building relationships. It is not just a broadcast channel or a sales and marketing tool.
    Authenticity, honesty and open dialogue are key. Social media not only allows you to
    hear what people say about you, but enables you to respond. Listen first, speak second.
    Be compelling, useful, relevant and engaging. Don’t be afraid to try new things, but
    think through your efforts before kicking them off.

    Social networks and other online media are great tools for engagement and two-way
    communication, but given the nature of this two-way, real-time communication, there is
    the potential for significant risks associated with inappropriate use. Social media has
    been an amazing tool to connect family and friends on a regular basis. However, it has
    also made it very easy to find someone and take a peak into their life. Let's start with the
    definition of stalking so we can really understand what it is. Social media is
    not simply and only a means of stalking people. It is a lot more than that. The Internet
    and social media were created for the convenience of the public and for the efficient
    working of the world. They provide advantages on a global scale and their judicious and
    venerated use will lead us to places we can’t even imagine. The onus falls on us. We
    need to have good intentions and be extremely careful while using social media.
    STUDENT REFLECTION

    This project has widened my insight into the dark side of media which was rather new to me
    and it deepened my understanding on the adverse impacts of social media.
    This project made me contemplate whether social media is good or necessary evil. It also made
    me realise the depth of analysis psychologists and researchers delve into in order to provide
    comprehensive results to controversial questions like “is social media just a stalking platform?”.
    So, I embarked on a journey to discover solutions.

    Through intense research and analysis, I encountered compelling arguments on both sides of the
    controversy. And I finally came to conclude that though there are conflicting studies, the
    consequences and impacts of social media on young minds is undeniable. This project helped
    me empathize with the teacher and parent communities, who are constantly expressing their
    concern for their near and dear ones. Not only did this study help me understand the negative
    and positive impact of social media but it also enlightened me to acknowledge that social media
    when used responsibly and in moderation could be a effective tool of communication.

    Most importantly, this essay prompted me to stay vigilant of the content I consume and the
    potential impact it could have on me. It made me realise that even the littlest of things have
    huge repercussions. This realization made me value and pay attention to the little thing in life
    and not take things for granted. It was indeed, a thought-provoking journey to explore the world
    of social media and write this literary piece.
