business is to succeed and in the case of healthcare facilities, the wider its reach, the more people can be catered and treated. In the aspect of education,
social media contributed goodness as it became one of the platforms by which teachers can communicate with their students. Social media became an avenue
by which teachers can relay announcements and reminders to students and vice versa in our new normal situation. As a whole, Social Media brought about many
positive contributions to the society as it made the exchange of data faster, made information easily accessible, and became one of the drivers of progress.

Bad Effects of Social Media

Social media can bring about bad effects to health, business, education, and the society when used in an inappropriate way. Bad effects of social media in the
aspect of health may include eye-strain and poor posture due to long hours of engagement. In the aspect of business and education, bad effects of social media
includes the rise of unwanted or unnecessary competition between businesses and students because of online peer/social pressure. Another bad effect of social
media to education is that when a student gets too immersed in using social media applications, he may forget and neglect his studies. As a whole, social media
can only bring about bad effects to the said areas if used in a bad manner. As responsible netizens, we should always remember that we should be mindful of
what we consume online. Social media is also a platform by which fake news is widely spread so we should always fact-check what we see before reacting and
before clicking any buttons online. We are what we consume online, so therefore, we should be smart in managing our usage of social media applications to avoid
experiencing any bad effects of it.
