Some decades ago, the social media was non-existent. These days, we are grateful we have the social media because of the advantages it comes with. The social media has helped us in lots of ways, and the merits are still unfolding.

Below are the benefits of the social media:

• Connectivity: The fundamental benefit of the social media is connectivity. This implies that, irrespective of your location, you can connect with anyone; keep in touch, and still maintain your friendship or relationship.

Location is not a barrier when it comes to the social media, as you can share your thoughts and feelings even though the person is far away, and you will receive prompt response.

• Education: The social media has also benefited us in terms of education, as it has helped both teachers and students. On the social media, you can easily learn from people who are experts in various educational fields.

• 

You can keep in touch with anyone, just for the purpose of learning from their wealth of knowledge. As earlier mentioned, location is not a barrier, and as far as you can keep in touch, learning could be a continuum for you.

• Help: On the social media, you can help and receive help. You can share your problems with the particular social media community you find yourself, and be sure to receive help in terms of money, advice and the likes.

• Information: In today’s world, being uninformed makes you ignorant. There are happenings on a frequent basis which you need to be in touch with. Without the social media, it is impossible to get updates on what is happening around you. These days, information on the social media spreads faster than words of mouth.

• Promotion/Publicity: People who have businesses can use the social media to their advantage. You can promote your business and enable it to reach a wide audience. With the social media, you have access to the whole world, and you can sell your services to them. Hence, your business becomes more profitable and less expensive.
