Hi Melissa,
There are definitely positive and negative aspects in social media. I feel that social media has made life a lot easier than it was in the old days. It gives people the opportunity to communicate and keep updated way more efficiently. However, social media could also lead to poor face to face interactions, which can be a extreme downfall to people’s way of living.
