Moderation is important because information overload can happen while using social media.

I guess it isn't improve the quality of life for the poor people because it open their eyes to the perfect life for other communities so it is open the way for comparison their life with other people life , so most people will become disappointed about these differences and that will effect badly on their psychological performance and life performance.

Poor people don’t have a good access to health care in Chicago. Social Media is an easy outlet, but we have to take the risk good or bad. The behavioral performance of social media needs to still be studied for patient self efficacy.
