    Social media has revolutionized communication by connecting over 2 billion people globally through platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. While facilitating new forms of instant communication, social media has also fragmented discussions and reduced face-to-face interaction. Both positive impacts like increased social connections and facilitating activism, as well as negative impacts like addiction, isolation, and online harassment have resulted from the rise of social media. The language of communication and ability to shape public opinion have also been influenced by these new digital platforms.
