I thought Group One's presentation was interesting. I never really thought about the fact that there was a time when Instagram or Twitter wasn't a thing.

A positive effect of Instagram is that it allows connections to be made and kept throughout the years. A negative effect is that Instagram takes a toll on young women's self esteem and confidence a lot. Social media, especially Instagram feeds, have shaped young women into thinking they need to look like the models they see online, even if the picture is not real.

Today, there are over 330 million users, bringing in $1.01 billion in revenue. Twitter also has a major impact on the world today. Twitter is a social media platform which allows users to speak their opinions, while their followers like their Tweet, agree with it or disagree with it.
