Growing share of Americans saying that they use YouTube; Facebook remains one of the most widely used online platforms among U.S. adults.

Social Media's Impact on Society

I believe social media's impact on society has had both negative and positive side effect. I have a habit of using social media platforms to reach out to people. I'm able to express myself and connect with friends, colleagues, and family. However, as a student and an employee, there has been times when I overused social media to a point where I forgot I had other important staff that demanded my attention.

Lesson Learned

I realized I am a good or somewhat decent user of social media. I only use it to my advantage where I'm able to socialize with others.
