Social effects of young people using social media on smartphones are currently an important topic of research. It is not easy to research a topic that has been developing for several years and is still developing. Social media has dominated the online communication of young people. The social behavior of young people has changed. Added to this are health issues. It has already been shown that due to the use of smarfons, the degree of deterioration of young people has significantly increased.
However, worsening eyesight, emerging vision defects in many young people using smarfons are not potentially the only negative aspects. The research conducted on this issue shows that there are various social effects of using young people from social media portals in smartphones. Unfortunately, there are also more and more research on negative aspects of social use by young people from social media portals in smartphones.
Research on the social effects of young people using smartphones to communicate via social media portals should be conducted. First of all, we do not know the potential effects of changes in the social behavior of citizens, which may have a psychological basis. These studies should also answer the question: whether dynamic technological progress in the field of communication techniques can significantly modify the social behavior of citizens and what the significance of changes in psychosocial behavior regarding entire societies may have.
Young people using social media portals in smartphones point to many positive aspects, but these are basically only facilitations in terms of communication and obtaining information. However, negative social aspects are not perceived by young people using social media portals in smarfons. Research is already being carried out in some research centers in the field of sociology, but we will have to wait for full confirmation of the research.
In addition, these studies will be continued in the following years because the technology of online social media portals and also in the field of communication techniques and devices, including smarfonów is still developing and now it is difficult to determine in which direction this progress is going, what new categories of risks will appear in relation to with this progress.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question: What is the legitimacy of conducting social research on the effects of smartphone use by young people to communicate via social media portals?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much

Social media has recently become the most powerful and influential outlet affecting people from all backgrounds and ages. This is one of the reasons to investigate its potential impact in the society. Social media has created borderless interactions and unlimited sharing of information. It's worth it to investigate how it could be used to improve our lives.
Social research would indeed have many societal effects and will induce a new pattern of human behaviour. An experimental group which uses social media frequently and the other which does not use frequently may be observed and important findings may be drawn. This may act as a preditive model for future researchers. Am eager to know the findings across countries? and see similarities or differences which may group.
I think the attractiveness of social media has three reasons: First, a smartphone opens up attractive attraction worlds, including social worlds that are produced and made available by the user. This applies in particular to communication with friends or groups of the same interest.
Secondly, the social media constantly provide pleasant experiences, even exciting situations.
Third: the social media are a kind of "bottomless pit". They take away precious life time from children (with the consent of the children, of course) and thus prevent performances that require overcoming resistance and effort from becoming unattractive - whether in thought or physical effort. There is no broad education of interests and skills because the time for strengthening motivation and learning outcomes is made available to the social media.

I also like to add that the original conception of smart phones by Nokia is based on Master and Slave arguments from the point of view of technology [communication nodes and receivers] but in reality has a negative social connotation, because the reality is that people became real slaves to the masters of smartphone companies!!
There is a nice paper of Ruben Enikopolov on the role of social networks in the emergence of the protests in modern Russia.Here is the link for the paper: Article Social Media and Protest Participation: Evidence from Russia
