We’re excited to launch the 28th Waves prompt designed specially for students and Alumni on Hive. This is your chance to share your experience and connect with others who started their journey just like you.

SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE

Waves Prompt:

Social media has greatly influenced communication and the way people share information. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok allow users to connect with friends, learn new ideas, and promote businesses.

Social media can also have negative effects when used improperly. Excessive use may lead to distraction, addiction, cyberbullying, and the spread of false information. Some people compare themselves to others online, which can affect their self-esteem and mental health.

Remember to share your opinion with us in 20 to 50 words, let your words inspire others.

You could write a few words then use a GIF to show your expression.
