Abstract:
Social media is started when people start to communicate. Social means human society, as
interference of people in groups and word is the medium of expressions. Most of the forms
of Social Media are not digital. It generates many innovations and Social Media is one of
the biggest inventions of technology, which is now most popular and widely used. We
define Social Media as “technologies that made social communication easy and enable
discussions among its participants”. While in our study, the word Social Media means a
web-based mobile application that allows people or companies to make, interact with, and
share new user-generated or current material, in digital environment.
Today, it is crucial to determine the impact of social media on the academic performance
of students. Technology is booming rapidly from year to year, and the younger generations
are the ones caught in this rapid change. Questionnaires were distributed through Facebook
and E-mails, to find out whether students’ academic performance is impacted by social
media or not. The findings demonstrate that there is no relationship between social media
and academic performance; this is clearly projected in their overall grade average.
