Even though their numbers aren't high, but certain people refuse to use social media. Why do you think that is? How would you convince them to use it?

Many people today feel that a large number of communication channels affect their productivity in work and private life. This is a problem of so called "information noise". A lot of information comes to your head but what is the percentage of a really useful one? So it's true - people learn to build filters.

This addiction is from the 20th century and it has expanded so grossly even human cannot control. The innovations are growing as the people in the world is growing towards the generation of technology. We can only cure if we socialize like olden days, i mean back to past times.

the people feel stress in using social media may be there privacy is disturbed and they don't want to share some thing with the other or may be it is disturbing there practical life because there is a lot difference between actual life and practical social life and social media life that is why people suffer a lot!

I think this is due to the stigma of people misusing it for selfies, food pictures; things that are not important/ vapid or just not interesting along with not really seeing the bigger potential of the medium. However, a way to convince people to use it is to follow people THEY are interested in, use it for THEIR lives; make sure they know that they can do this.

Social media is very essential at this point in life. It is the best medium for all the poeople who wants to express their expressions. It can also use to promote company, government facilities and a lot more. For others that who refuse to use social media, maybe they still do not know the good benefits. I will convince them by explaining the good side of it while providing evidence, positive reviews and feedbacks by other legitimate account users. Or maybe they do not have a home internet that is why they refused to use it.

Hello Salam, not more than 48 years ago, long before the internet was 1st invented, Humans believed in the 4 main elements that this planet and humanity have ever counted on. This concept of 4 elements, Water, Earth, Fire, and Air have lately been updated into 5, and you know what I'm talking about, the Internet! Nowadays not using the internet and specifically social media means that you are missing a lot. If you are not active on social media you won't be able to know what is going on on this planet, your country and even in your neighborhood. Social media is not just about posting pictures of your family and daily life, social media is your only tool to stay connected and updated about almost everything. By everything i mean, birthdays, life events, internal and external conflicts and acheivements, etc...

I hope i have answered your question!

You can convince them since you want to keep abreast of the daily conditions and see some photos of their holidays, as well as telling them tha SOCIAL MEDIA are a way for digital communication effective and can be used in a positive way.
