If you look around you right now, it will be hard for you to find someone who is not using

their cellphone. According to Paul Booth, there has been a change referring to

communication, since we rather email or text than meet face-to-face. Experts claim that

social media can also link to depression, social isolation, feelings of envy, insecurity, and

poor self-esteem. Social media has positive effects such as communicating with people from

other countries, however, it also has negative effects that affect negatively interpersonal

relationships, such as self-image issues and cyberbullying.
