The impact on Social Media

I personally feel that we as people, are sucked into a world that it is kind of impossible not to have social media. For instance, phones, iPad, etc are apart of this era. I can say there are negative and positive effects of social media on society. I'll first discuss the negative effect. First and foremost,  when somebody is constantly on their phone, they'ill beging to use it as a "crutch", and that becomes a habit. Instead of picking up a book, people would now pick up their phone, and ask google about an answere. Now a days, kids growing up now are exposed to media more easily then young adults were when they were young. Also, social media can brain wash adolescent into think that they need to have a certain image to be cool or fit in. Another negative aspect of social media is cyber bullying. it make it so much easier for a bully to go behind a computer, and harass another person. So with that being said, social media has made it very easy for people to bully others online, and that's very negative. One positve that social media has is that it connects people together that are long distance from each other. For example, facebook has a way to connect old school dfriends and family that have lost contact over the years. Social media has also keep people up to date of what's going on in the world.
