In my opinion, social media has changed the behavior of mankind, most especially the way we think, we don't do things in the dark anymore because all that you need to make a decision is on social media.

We can only make better use of social media if we are aware of both the positive and negative aspects of it, and then try to maximize the good side of it and minimize the risks involved.
