Is social media good for you ?

There are conflicting views on the impact of social media.  On  the positive end, social media has enabled stronger connections between humans, democratized media creation and access and become a source of entertainment for millions around the world.   On the negative end, it has fostered division between people with differing opinions, used as a means to spread misinformation, contributed to self-esteem issues stemming from mischaracterization of life and contributed towards productivity loss.

In summary, it is safe to conclude that the benefits of social media outdo its negative impact.
