Not only do working people utilize social media, but student use of it has increased significantly, or perhaps better said, in the education sector.

It significantly affects our lives. thus it greatly aids in all spheres of life, including the political, economic, and educational ones. As time goes on, social media has begun to have a detrimental effect on society, with millions of people becoming unhealthy addicted to following the newest events on applications like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. By staying in touch online even when friends no longer meet in person, they forge lasting bonds. The paper tries to show how our population has been influenced by social media. It's important to understand both the positive and negative effects of social media. on the field of education as well as our future generation, and if social media use is beneficial or detrimental, develop appropriate plans in each situation.
