Social media started when people started to communicate. "Social means human society,
as the interference of people and groups, and the word "media" is the medium of expression.
Most of the forms of social media are not digital. It generates a large number of innovations, and
social media is one of the biggest inventions of technology that is now the most popular and
widely used. We defined Social Media as "technologies that make social communication easy
and enable discussions among its participants." While in our study, the word "social media"
refers to a web-based mobile application that allows people or companies to make, interact with,
and share new user-generated or current material in a digital environment. Students are
consumers and producers of media.

The invention of the smart phone has increased the usage of social media. It enables users to
access multiple social networking sites through just a few clicks. This social media has a great
impact on students, on which a large number of research has been conducted and each research
shows unique results. Some studies prove that social media negatively affects the performance of
students, while others prove that it improves the learning of its users and improves their
communication skills.
