 Recently for a school assignment, we were sked to read an article about social media and how it affects our world. We were then asked to write a reflective paragraph on what we learned. After reading the Newsela.com article, “The Global Rise of Social Media and the Changed World”,I have gained a better understanding of how social media has changed through the years.   According to the article, at one point in history, Facebook was the most popular social media website, and has the most visits.
