2.46 billion people are connected through social media every single day and the number one social media used worldwide is Facebook; as of 2017. With this number of people on social media, every single day, we are forgetting about socialising with friends and family. Social media are making more and more people isolated. Social media is creating a number issues in our society and only more and more people are going to sign up and get involved.

It’s harder to stop as more and more people are using social media
