Social Media’s impact on social change

I think that Social Media has already brought change to our society, but I don’t think its positive change. Since everyone now either has a Facebook account or Twitter that how they mostly communicate. Yes, teenagers spend most of their time texting or updating statuses, but with that their social skills have become less and less effective.  The generations of today only know how to interact by typing their feelings or conversations, but when it comes to an interview or have a social interaction face to face, they lack the skills needed.
It has also had somewhat of a positive impact on social change. People who had problems speaking to people before or interacting can now do so through social Media accounts on Facebook or Twitter.  With sites such as YouTube people can post videos of themselves singing or doing stunts, so that everyone can see, and some have become famous thanks to the social media tool.
Social Media is just at the beginning of its run and will develop faster as the years pass. It will bring a big change to the way we interact.
