Name: Professor: Course: Date: Abstract The Social media can be explained to be a platform that uses computer technologies to share information and ideas. People with common interests can form virtual communities on social media where they can share their interests and encourage one another. Some of the most commonly used social media platforms are Facebook Twitter Instagram Viber and the WhatsApp amongst many others (Acred 2015). Social media users get access to these platforms by the use of web-based technologies either on their mobile phones tablets or a desktop computer. In the recent times almost everyone is a social media platform. As users social media affects our lives both positively and negatively. The research to be carried out should explore the factors that have made so many people start using social media the positive and negative impacts we lived in and made them a better place for our existence. The use of social media has both positive and negative impacts on our lives and both have to be embraced (Wellesley 2015).
