W.Akram. “A Study on Positive and Negative Effects of Social Media on Society”. Department of Computer Applications, GDC Mendhar, Poonch, India. 30 October, 2017.

       In this academic journal, the author discusses social media’s advantages and disadvantages, but he focuses on how it affects education. In the academic journal it states, “ Students, while seeking and concentrate on the web, get pulled in to utilizing online networking locales and once in a while they overlook why they are using the internet. Sometimes students are not able to deliver their work in the specified time frame as their time wastes. Social media eats up a lot of time, making it difficult to return to reading or studying once you’ve went online. It also states, “ Students are depending more on the information reachable easily on these social networking sites and the web. This reduces their learning and research capabilities.” The research shows students start depending on social media too much and it prevents them from actually learning from a book, because it’s so easy to just search up whatever they’re looking for online. It also states, “Students generally utilize slang words or abbreviated types of words on long range interpersonal communication locales. They begin depending on the PC language structure and spelling check highlights. This decreases their charge over the dialect and their experimental writing abilities.” Because of social media we usually use slang words, students get used to it which makes it harder to write with proper grammar. In many ways, social media is harmful to education.
