Only a few minutes after the incident, we have been able to enjoy the information. 2. Social networking sites make children and teens more friendly, caring.

Social media can make it easier for people who have distant relatives, this social network is very useful and plays a role in reuniting family and relatives who are far from us, and those who are far away from those who have not met for a long time. This can be done through virtual media such as video calls. 4.

• The negative impacts of using social media are: 1. Starting from social media, crimes often occur such as fraud, murder, rape, kidnapping, etc. 2. It's hard to socialize with people around you. Because the use of social media makes users lazy to communicate with the real world. This is very true, he has friends who are very active in social media, he always posts whatever he does. However, it is far from reality. In fact, people who are active on social media are quiet people and don't hang out much. 3. Because the use of social media often uses informal language in everyday life so that formal language is forgotten, if we are not good at controlling, otherwise we will fall into promiscuity, because we cannot keep our speech. 4. Social media sites will make someone more selfish, they become unaware of their surroundings because they spend too much of their time using the internet. 5. Social media can make children and adolescents neglectful and also unable to share their time because they are too busy with the virtual world, who don't know what it looks like. Especially for a student, if they are addicted, they are more concerned with it than their needs, and are even willing to set aside pocket money if they really need an internet quota. Therefore, there is no need to keep up with the times, we must be clever in choosing ways to socialize on social media so that we are not controlled by the world, but we must rule the world, do not also become outdated people, I hope this is useful.
The social media has transformed the way we do things today, setting up a business is now much cheaper than before.
