Using Social Media to Connect | Frenly

The concept of using social media to connect with others has its roots in the early days of the internet, when online communities like Prodigy and AOL first emerged. According to some sources, the design of social media platforms can have a profound impact on the way we interact with each other online. Parents and educators are playing a critical role in shaping the way young people use social media. Developing new technologies and platforms that prioritize human connection and wellbeing over profit and engagement may help mitigate the risks of excessive social media use.
