Hi Yuxin,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the three questions. You gave a thorough explanation of social media, including its definition, meaning, and how it helps people connect. We used to say that cars made the distance between cities shorter; today, the internet connects the entire world and brings it closer together. In addition to the psychological issues social media has brought up, I share your concerns in my blog regarding personal privacy. I strongly suggest watching the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, which describes how technology and social media companies use psychological tricks and manipulation to turn users into addicts.
