Is social media a force for good
social media is bad
General Addiction
Social media can be more addictive than cigarettes and alcohol. It has a powerful draw for many people that leads to them checking it all the time without even thinking about it.
Unhealthy Sleep Patterns
spending too much time on social media can lead to poor sleep. Numerous studies have shown that increased use of social media has a negative effect on your sleep quality.
Cyberbullying
means bullying through the use of technology or any electronic communication, However, now people can bully others online---anonymously or not. Today everyone knows what cyberbullying is, and most of us have seen what it can do to a person.
Fear of Missing Out.
FOMO has become a common theme, and often leads to continual checking of social media sites. The idea that you might miss out on something if you’re not online can affect your mental health.
Misinformation and fake news
Increased usage
Research suggests that young people who spend more than 2 hours per day on social media are more likely to report poor mental health, including psychological distress (symptoms of anxiety and depression)
meeting strangers
Friends” on social media may not actually be friends, and may even be strangers.
Comparing

Nothing spreads faster than news on social media. Whether it’s a football club signing, a terrorist incident, a political upset, or a famous couple ending their relationship; chances are, it’ll be trending on Twitter before you can say “Donald Trump”
social media can revolutionize business
Small businesses and large businesses now have the same opportunities to speak with people - giving small business, in particular, many, many more opportunities.
