In this era of technology, social media has become an integral part of everyone’s life. People check their Facebook and Twitter feeds first thing in the morning, some even upload their swollen faces and tell the world it is morning selfie.
Youth today believe that life without social media will be very difficult to live in but they forget the fact that our parents, a generation before us have lived most of their time without these. I believe life will be very interesting if 2016 did not have social media platforms.

 You will build stronger bonds with people


It reminds me of my maternal home, it is a small town and people there do not have much access to internet yet they are happy. They meet more people, celebrate more and enjoy the time they spend with their families and friends.

You will be more social


You will come in contact with more people and groups that have similar interests as yours. The friends or contacts you build will be your actual followers throughout your life. E-mails and telephones will be your best friends.

Family members will actually care about each other


People will plan surprises, make cards, mix-tapes for their loved ones. Those cheesy words on your Facebook wall will actually mean something in real life.
 

You will stop comparing yourself from others


Humans are social animals and we always feel field on other side is greener on top of it social media makes it even easier to compare our life against other people lives. But imagine 2016 without social media platforms, for once you will focus what’s going on in your life rather than others.

You will be saved from the curses 


It is quite difficult for me to calculate how many years of bad luck is there in my life for not typing “Amen” on those photoshoped pictures on Facebook. For some people even now it is hard to believe the technology of photoshop has reached great heights and it is very easy to trick people in believing the photo is real.
 

Your dating skills will increase


Watch the T.V series F.R.I.E.N.D.S. if you really want to know how to date a stranger without using Tinder. Guys feel they are pro in this field when they open Tinder, it is very difficult to come up with a pick up line in 10 sec when you have to chat without the app.
   

You will feel more productive


You will be 20% more productive if that constant urge to look at your Facebook and Twitter feeds is gone.


World without social media surely would have been interesting but it has bridged the gap of approachability, which is difficult to achieve with e-mails. It is bloggers paradise and a great platform for marketing and promotion. People can establish their brand and earn from it. Social media has definitely taken every form of human interaction online but until unless it is used wisely and decently, I believe there is no harm if 2016 has social media platforms.
