We are brainwashed into thinking it will better our lives by making us happier and making communication easier but we are also aware that we cannot depend on such trivial things to make us truly happy. As they say, everything is good in moderation; the same applies to social media. It is allowing us access to too much information and is decreasing our ability to function as a normal society. We are losing real life communication skills by forming online relationships through social media; however no amount of digital affection will ever replace real life physical attention.

Social Media plays a big role in today’s society and it is the way in which most people get by seeing as it is used on a daily basis. Social Media are websites where individuals interact with one another and share information. Social Media benefits society and harms it at all at once. It benefits society by allowing businesses to advertise freely, individuals to pursuit their musical careers and for news to spread quickly. On the other hand, Social Media harms our society because it is a distraction from education and is the cause of cyberbullying. Therefore, Social media is not benefitting society because it is slowly poisoning it by being a distraction from education and ruining lives.
Compare the two sides: There are a couple positive aspects that social media brings into communication but most affects are negative. Sure it gives an easier and quicker form of catching up with one another, but soon this is going to turn into the only thing people do. Everyone is soon going to cut out the face to face interactions and emotional connections with each other because technology is forming a simpler way to do things. Simpler is not always the right way.
When you think about social media what do you think of. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Vine. Well social media is more than that. Social media is not just Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Social media is any online website that lets you interact with other people, share photo and information and keeps you updated. Or do you think about how it’s made a positive or negative impact on today’s society. In my personal opinion I think social media has made both positive and negatives impacts on today’s society .Some of the negative impacts are cyberbullying and addiction, and the positive impacts are spreading the word and increasing business sales.
Take a minute and think about how much we use Social Media. How scary is it to think that we depend on it so much, that we can not live without it? It frightens me that today 's teens depend on this for everything from the latest news to what their favorite celebrities are up to. We can access this information at any given moment with just a few touches or clicks. Society today depends on this for their comfort, money, news, happiness, and contacting friends, which has formed into a major problem. Social Media can have benefits as well, but based on how it is used today, it is more of an issue than a benefit.
Social media has many good qualities to it. It expands connections between people and helps to spread ideas. Technology and social media offers control to its users.
Technology development has changed our daily life and social media has changed our communication methods. The invention of new technologies seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings. People no longer only think of face-to-face interactions or e-mails. Social network sites (SNS) like Twitter continues to attract users, many of whom turn to these spaces for social support for serious illnesses such as cancer. (Myrick, 2015) Social media brings convenience to us because we can use various technologies to make us feel happy, and no longer need to travel around to have a face to face communication. Technology has also saved human humongous time just getting one place to another. Although social media has shaped us into a non face to face communication style but the change might not be a bad occurrence for people. Psychologists (Chen and Kirmani), economics (David), individuals (Karli), and students (Martin) have different views on it, and this paper is going to reinforce the benefits brought by social media overshadow the negative impacts through demonstrating the views.
Some people think that Social media has a negative impact on society. For me It’s a way to connect with people and also know about their surroundings. It helps me connect with my friends back in my country Pakistan, and also helps me to share some thoughts about my life. We motivate each other through Whatsapp. I see what they are doing and they see what I am doing. Sometimes they share posts about people personality like how the people think today, and what they want to do in their regular life. Most of the Teenager do Snapchat to just tell others what they are doing now. Some people share funny videos and when I watch them I feel joy. Social media is a very powerful source to connect with people and get to know each other. It helps me know about my surroundings and also helps to know myself with a new perspective.

Social media has nothing but negative effects on people’s minds. Social networking can become very addicting and people can get wrapped up in the drama and excitement of the cyber world.
