 Social media are interactive computer-

mediated technologies that facilitate the

creation and sharing of information, ideas,
career interests and other forms of expression
via virtual communities and networks.[1] The
variety of stand-alone and built-in social media
services currently available introduces
challenges of definition; however, there are
some common features:
 Social media may have been influenced by the
1840s introduction of the telegraph in the US,
which connected the country.[10] ARPANET, which
first came online in 1967, had by the late 1970s
developed a rich cultural exchange of non-
government/business ideas and communication
 Usenet, which arrived in 1979, was beat by a
precursor of the electronic bulletin board
system (BBS) known as Community Memory in
1973. True electronic bulletin board systems
arrived with the Computer Bulletin Board System
in Chicago, which first came online on 16 February
1978.

purpose like sekking the products by displaying them on social media sets branding the products etc
 Interpersonal relationship
 Modern day teenagers interacting
 Social media is used to fulfill perceived social needs, but not all needs can be fulfilled by social
media.[93] For example, lonely individuals are more likely to use the Internet for emotional support
than those who are not lonely.Additionally, studies on who interacts on the internent have shown that
extraversion and openness have a positive relationship with social media, while emotional stability
has a negative sloping relationship with social media.
 Health improvement
 Social media might can also function as a supportive system for adolescents' health, because by using
social media, adolescents are able to mobilize around health issues that they themselves deem
relevant. For example, in a clinical study among adolescent patients undergoing treatment for obesity,
the participants' expressed that through social media, they could find personalized weight-
loss content as well as social support among other adolescents with obesity The social media is also
called online health literacy.
 Self-presentation
 The more time people spend on Facebook, the less satisfied they feel about their life.[Self-
presentational theory explains that people will consciously manage their self-image or identity related
information in social contexts. When people are not accepted or are criticized online they feel
emotional pain.This may lead to some form of online retaliation such as online bullying
 Social media allows you to interact with your
community no matter where you are or who you are
with. According to social media supporters, connecting
with your community via the internet makes you less
lonely. In actuality, social media has isolated people.
 Social media can be a great tool if used correctly, but
more often than not, people misuse and abuse it. Not
only is social media often abused and misused, but it
has a gained a blind following. Many social media
users today cannot prove why social media is helpful
or beneficial. Instead,those who support social media
want an explanation as to why social media is bad,
shifting the burden of proof to the opposers of
the incessant use of social media. The negative effects
of social media outweigh the positive.
