Content: Society has become too dependent on it. Many introverts and socially reclusive users place too much emphasis on virtual interaction and ignore the real world outside, such as the influence of social media that it has almost replaced the need for real conversation and interaction. Society have begun degrading its value and morality. Cyberbullying and harassment on social sites have been increasing among millennials especially young girls, women fall prey to the online attacks. People exhibit unscrupulous behaviour uploading unethical videos, photos and many more which degrades the name of individuals and society as a whole. Many people create pages on Facebook for meeting like-minded friends or for staying in touch for getting the news they feed to the outside world and the possible repercussion it would later have and not thinking that potential employers may view clues about someone’s characteristic apart from the resume and interview.

Social media has another basic function of providing information (positive) but also has a negative effect because we are equally exposed to the news feed (negative) again and again.
