Social media, and the internet as a whole, has provided people with more access to information than they've ever had before. And not only more access, but quicker access - anyone with a mobile device can search for virtually any information they need, at any time.
Positive Effects
Social media connects people
Here's a personal example - I grew up in Chicago, and after 26 years, I moved across the country to Los Angeles. Going online gave me a chance to connect, in real-time, with more people than I could via a single phone call. I was also able to stay in touch via status updates, and peruse photos that helped make me feel as though I wasn't as far away as I was.
Negative Effects
Cyber-bullying
Social media can also facilitate cyber-bullying, which can take disagreements to new levels, leaving little escape for victims.
This is true, scary and unfortunate. Whereas you used to have a problem with someone in person, today, that person's able to gather people from anywhere in the world to join their cause or hatred against people or institutions. People seem to feel bolder and more apt to attack others when hiding behind their screens.
