Using social media can offer various benefits such as connectivity with friends and families, sharing information, networking, marketing, community building, creativity and self-expression, educational resources, activism, and entertainment. But it also comes with several drawbacks such as addiction and time consumption, negative impact on mental health, cyberbullying and harassment, privacy concerns, misinformation and fake news, comparison and envy, sleep disturbance, physical health issues, and impact on relationships.

It's essential for users to be aware of these drawbacks and practice mindfulness, moderation, and digital hygiene when using social media to mitigate their negative effects.

In this week's TechTalk, Amit and Rinat talk about social media addiction, their own struggles with it, some possible solutions and a lot more!
