Social media is a way to bring people together and make new friends, there are more physical and mental issues that come from the use of social media. The biggest issue is isolation. It’s easy to talk to people through text, but it is becoming harder to talk to people face to face. When you talk to people online, you may feel like you have friends, but when you do disconnect the feeling of loneliness is big because of the lack of physical friends. On top of mental issues you have physical issues as well. Back pain, eye strain, and insomnia are big issues from too much technology and social media use. I think to help society get better we need to reduce the use of social media and technology.
