CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
Social media started when people started to communicate. "Social" means human society, as an
interference of people and groups, and "media" is the medium of expression. Most of the forms
of social media are not digital. It generates a large number of innovations, and social media is one
of the biggest inventions of technology, which is now the most popular and widely used. We
define social media as "technologies that make social communication easy and enable discussions
among its participants". In our study, the word "social media" means a web-based mobile
application that allows people or companies to make, interact with, and share new user-generated
or current material in a digital environment. Students are consumers and producers of social
media.
Thanks to the internet and social web, including Facebook, YouTube, blogs, Instagram, etc., most
technologies. In 2010, as reports show more teenagers, about 73% of them use social media sites
and 75% have cellphones. Students do not always have the media literacy skills necessary to
effectively analyze, comprehend, and evaluate new forms of information and make sound
decisions about their quality and applications. The use of social media has become
comprehensive and, currently, the most popular social media platforms are Facebook, Twitter,
The use of social media sites has exploded and evolved into an online platform where people
create content, share it, bookmark it, and network at a prodigious rate. Because of its ease of use,
speed, and reach, social media is fast changing the public discourse in society and setting trends
and agendas on topics that range from the environment and politics to technology and the
entertainment industry. In the last ten years, the online world has changed dramatically. Thanks
to the invention of social media, young men and women now exchange ideas, feelings, personal
information, pictures, and videos at a truly astonishing rate.The increased use of social
networking websites has become a social way of life for people from all over the world.
Teenagers and young adults have especially embraced these sites as a way to connect with their
peers around the globe, share information, reinvent their personalities, and showcase their social
lives. With these developments in technology, social networking sites have become more and
more popular among students, and a major concern has arisen over how the use of social sites
Social media usage by students is so rampant recently because of easy access to devices such as
smart phones, I phones, Blackberry, tablets, I pads, and laptops which are connected to the
internet. Addiction to social media usage has skyrocketed in recent years. The dangers of its
effects on the academic performance of over-involved students are concerning. Academic
performance, which is depicted by the grades of students, is a great concern. Students that spend
excessive time on social networks become dependent on them and it is believed that their
academic performance diminishes proportionately. It is perceived that school grades will suffer
when spending too much time on social networking sites. Different researchers have conducted
research to ascertain the influence of social media on users. According to the results, the more
students use social media, the more it affects their academic performance

LOCAL LITERATURE
Since students are highly motivated to using social media sites the majority of them use these to
satisfy their social needs more than their academic needs. They have the freedom to do whatever
they want-they can upload or download data, they can make new friends and comment on other
people’s lives, and they can even create other online identities the real world does not allow. It
has been observed too that the majority of the students nowadays, particularly those in the
secondary level, spend most of their time chatting with their acquaintances, playing online
games, and watching videos instead of reading their lessons, making their assignments, and other
academic requirements. The main reason is when they work or search their materials online they
get attached to social networking sites to kill boredom during study time, diverting their attention
from their work. The darker side of this that has gained the attention of many parents is that some
students are getting lazier and are no longer interested in going to school
