The positive impact is that its great for communication, work uses, and internet access for fun like games. The negative impacts are that there is cyberbully, hacking ppl or things, and addictions to something.

On the Ted talk this man named Wael Ghomim talked about the 5 critical challenges facing social media in today's media. The first challenge one is dealing with rumors. Rumors are a big thing on social media because mostly teens hear a rumor about a person that maybe true or false. Rumors spread to one person to another and it could hurt someone. Challenge 2 is the ability to block. On social media you have the ability to block, unfriend someone, and mute someone you dislike or other reason. The 3rd challenge is that social media has people blinded for example if you and your friend got in a fight on a conversation you start to forget the person behind the screen as in your friend could be sorry but your to busy being mad to understand. Challenge 4 is opinions. Opinions could be agreed or disagreed but to social media its different because if someone asks you a option and you have to choose sides other people can disagree and at the end what you say on the internet stays there. That means that other people won't forget what another person. The final challenge is the 5th one which is that people have different opinions. People will always have different opinions because one could agree on one thing or disagree on another there are many different reasons why.

Some suggestions that Wael Ghomin tells his audience is that,"Five years ago, I said, if you want to liberate society, all you need is the internet...Today I believe if we want to liberate society, we first need to liberate the internet. Some suggestion are making some things like an account where you have posts that can change someone and change the world for the better.

Conclusion is that there are many challenges but those 5 are the main ones that we can have control over if we do the right thing.
