The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Social media is a tool that can take many forms. There is certainly good to it as it amplifies many good causes and charities. It connects people with old and new friends.

The ugly would have to be the way it amplifies bullying and trolling. It can bring out the worst in people because many times those people can remain anonymous.
