Social Media - New issues
The societal challenges and issues brought on by the technological tsunami are absolutely unprecedented. In particular, teenagers must contend with a mental obstacle that is completely new to them. Teenagers' relationships with one another and their proclivities have changed as a result of the pervasive use of digital technologies. Many youngsters therefore lack crucial interpersonal communication abilities. Teenagers use their smartphones for more than nine hours per day on average.
Teenagers fear new situations like "fear of missing out" due to a technologically induced sense of isolation. Teen feels isolated and their sleeping habits often shift. Additionally, it causes eating issues. Sometimes they assume an untrue facade of "stylish image," smoke, and drink.
Cyberbullying is another issue that has emerged. Exchanging provocative photographs can lead to cyber blackmail, which can lead to heinous cybercrime. This frequently occurs when teenagers experience low self-esteem and resort to immoral means of gaining and maintaining attention. They frequently post things to attract attention. Teenagers, their families, and society at large suffer as a result of social media's ability to give an escape route in the most undesirable way.

Look at the graph and the paragraph below which provides an interpretation of the data given in the graph.
Graph to show number of whales caught in Antarctic (1985-2010)
As whalers reduced catching of the large/r whales, they switched to smaller species. This is evident when we compare figures for the Antarctic catch of the larger sei whale with those for small minke whale. In 1985, fifteen times as many sei whales as minke whales were caught. By 1995, catches of both the species were virtually the same (9000). By the 2000, the situation had reversed and the number of minke whales killed more than doubled as compared to sei whales (6000). The graph shows that while the sei catch was reduced by 95% between 1985 and 2010, over the same period the minke whale catch was eight times greater. If these trends continue, the situation for the smaller species will be as bad as it used to be for the larger ones.
