Abstract In recent years, Media and technology are the tools and channels used to communicate and share information. They are a vital part of modern communication and information dissemination. Social media is a way to communicate and share information online. It includes websites and apps that allow users to create content, share ideas, and interact with others. Social media has transformed human interactions, reshaping social behavior and personal identity. This paper explores the influence of social media on individual and group behavior, examining aspects such as online communication patterns, self-presentation, social validation, and psychological well-being. According to Worldwide Daily Social Media Usage (New 2024 Data) People are spending more time on their social media platforms than ever before. The average person spends 2 hours and 24 minutes on social media every day. Users will spend 4 trillion hours on social media this year.
Now a day, Social media has completely changed how we engage, communicate, and get information. It has several benefits, including interacting with loved ones, networking, and sharing content and ideas on a platform. Nevertheless, there are drawbacks as well, such as issues with privacy, the dissemination of false information, and the possibility of cyber bullying. So, it is very important to overcome the drawback of social media by setting boundaries around its uses. However, this paper focuses on the overcoming the negative sides of social networking and how it can help in bringing the positive impact on social behaviour and formation of identity.
