Social Media: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Social media is a big part of modern life. People use it to connect with others and to gather and share information. Businesses that are not on social media have a tougher time competing against businesses that are. Social media use has grown exponentially around the globe. Many utilize more than one platform such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and there are others. Social media can be fun, educational and convenient. Some say it can also be addicting and a conduit for misinformation and scams.
