Teens are emotionally developing through the social media and internet

Allows for fast communication between people of far distances and even near

People are constantly in contact with others and socializing through networks or devices

Consumes so much of people’s daily lives as people are constantly updating Facebook, tweeting, texting, e-mailing, and blogging

Many argue that the impacts social media has had on the world are negative, while others believe it is a very positive advancement.

Each day new technological advances are made, which means that in the

future, near and far, communication is only going to progress due to more and more new technology. New social networks will be made available to

the public. These advances will help schools, businesses, and the population as whole to grow to better communicating society.
