That was indeed a very good, in-depth analysis on the social media by Caitun Elsaesser. There is no doubt, today the internet rules the world and social media has indeed become a very powerful tool in everybody's hand. The younger generation has taken to social media just like fish to the water. Everything and everyone has a good side & the bad side. The internet & social media is no different. We may have witnessed the positive effects of social media however, it seems like the negative effects far outweigh the good. We have seen how people blindly forward posts without verifying, without giving a thought to the consequences of that post. The incidents shared by the writer are frightening indeed and give an indication of the power of social media. One small spark is enough to start a major fire. One only hopes against hope, that better sense prevails, not just on the youngsters but on the elders as well. Needless to say, restraint is the need of the hour.
