Abstract

Over the last 20 years, rapid progress has been made in order to make the world more globalized via the extensive use of social media. This is evident in sectors ranging from education to sports, healthcare to fashion, and cybershopping to improved communication to mention a few. The extensive use of social media among the youth especially has been on the rise due to the fact that social media has become an integral part of everyday life for humans. The youth has been associated with social media and it has opened numerous ways of profitability for them. This paper provides an overview of the influence of social media on youths and also suggests that in the future, more research should be carried out in order to explore the positive and negative influence on youth globally in a more practical manner.
