Over the last 20 years, rapid progress has been made in order to make the world more globalized via the extensive use of social media. This is evident in sectors ranging from education to sports, healthcare to fashion, and cybershopping to improved communication to mention a few. The extensive use of social media among the youth especially has been on the rise due to the fact that social media has become an integral part of everyday life for humans. The youth has been associated with social media and it has opened numerous ways of profitability for them. This paper provides an overview of the influence of social media on youths and also suggests that in the future, more research should be carried out in order to explore the positive and negative influence on youth globally in a more practical manner.<\/span><\/p>

The use of social media platforms is a major factor that is beginning to limit the mind’s capacity to think properly. Students, especially youths nowadays are prone to losing focus when studying and choose to spend their time on social media instead. All of this amounts to a waste of time with little and sometimes no return on investment. Students are usually unable to submit their work within the slated deadline because they are more interested in surfing social networking platforms. The role and impact of technology have come to stay.\u00a0The youth has been associated with social media and it has opened numerous ways of profitability for them. This paper provides an overview of the influence of social media on youths and also suggests that in the future, more research should be carried out in order to explore the positive and negative influence on youth globally in a more practical manner.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
