The document discusses the negative effects of social media on university students. It reports that 77% of students at the University of Sharjah use social media. While social media can expand knowledge and increase well-being, it can also lower attention levels and negatively impact language skills. The document proposes that students specify time for social media, study time, well-being activities, and social interaction to mitigate these negative effects.
