Within the last few years, social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram have attracted more than two billion users worldwide. Besides these major networks, thousands of other social media sites have been created. This “social media takeover” has provided us with more than just an easier way to communicate. Social media facilitates the spread of breaking news, gives people the opportunity to collaborate and swap ideas, and allows its users to connect with new people from all over the world. However, these new technologies and new ways to connect have changed our society in ways that no one could have anticipated. The advancements in social networking technology have created a number of problems as well as made some preexisting societal issues more widespread. Social media has created a platform for cyberbullying and also has negatively impacted its user’s productivity resulting in a decrease in emotional, professional, and intellectual wellbeing.
