reconceptualizing the boundaries of formal and informal
learning. Journal of Learning, Media and Technology, 6-30.
Social media has several effects on society. Some people have
argued that social media has the potential of creating a bridge
between formal and informal learning. Social media affects
learning at both levels. This article analyzes the use of social
media in terms of its effects on learning both formally and
informally. The authors give suggestions on how social media
platforms can be used to deliver better learning outcomes.

Sociological Theory and Methodology for the Topic
Sociological Theory
This topic falls under the structural-functionalism sociological
theory. The structural functionalism theory seeks to find out the
effects of social media on the stability and solidarity of society.
This perspective or theory views the society as a complex
system which is depended on the parts or units that make it up
to ensure that the society functions as expected to achieve
stability and solidarity and work as a unit.
One of the main factors under this perspective is that different
social structures are expected to shape society into a functional
unit (Mulkay, 2014). Therefore, children, as part of the society
should be shaped from home to ensure that they grow into
useful and essential members of society by positively
contributing to the welfare of society. This can only be achieved
if the children are not affected by the destructive effects from
social media use which change them into unproductive members
of the society.
The methodology of the topic
This research used a qualitative study which analyzed the
research question to find out the effects of social media on the
children. The research gathered data used in the study after
studying, analyzing and synthesizing a total of twenty-one peer-
reviewed articles on the topic. The sectors that were analyzed
included the background of social media use by children, the
effects of social media and whether addiction to social media
impairs the developmental stages of children. The research
focused on finding out the different ways in which social media
affects children.
Introduction
Over a period, social media has been a continuously growing
phenomenon in our society. Today, almost all activities are
influenced by social media. The effects of social media on a
human being’s way of life remain a controversial topic. Some
people believe that social media has a lot of advantages or
benefits to the way of life, but on the other hand, others believe
that it has a lot of disadvantages to the society (Desmottes,
2015). Without any doubt, social media encourages the creation
of a global village by ensuring that people keep in touch
quickly. By facilitating communication and interactions. Every
individual can share sentiments, concerns, or ideas with a large
number of people across the world. While a more natural
connection is an obvious benefit, it is imperative to analyze how
social media affects learning and developmental processes in
children.
Children continuously grow from birth to adulthood. During all
these stages of development, the children gather knowledge
from their environment. The children consume contents and
experiences, which adversely affect their social, language,
intellectual, emotional, and physical development. Every child
follows the same developmental stages and learning process.
The learning process is classified according to the child's
developmental stage (Leung, 2014). It is prudent to note that
social media has changed the learning process in children as
they imitate what they are exposed to in social media, either
positive or negative. Children are being exposed to information
which they cannot adequately synthesize due to their mental
capability and physical development. Although it is a good
thing that children are exposed to more information, lack of
parental control has adverse effects on learning. Today, children
have underdeveloped social skills that are due to them being
used to charting of communicating via social media they are
unable to communicate with other people face to face (Best et
al. 2013). Further, continued exposure to social media results in
speech problems. These are some of the adverse effects of
social media on children's developmental process; This is
because the social media is uncontrolled and the children are
exposed to some content meant for adults, and it affects them.
As information is now readily available, children are exposed to
false information on social media due to the lack of control on
the social media platforms. False information on eating habits
and poor lifestyle habits leads to obesity and other lifestyle
conditions. Today, a large number of obesity cases can be
directly attributed to social media. Children at a lower
development stage may be inclined to believe in untrue
information on unhealthy eating habits such as consumption of
sugary and fatty food staffs lifestyle choices which result in
lifestyle diseases (Sampasa-Kanyiga & Lewis, 2015. The
children today have a problem with their eating habits. In most
cases, children are addicted to high-sugar foods (Swist et al.
2015). Social media is recorded as the highest consumer of
children's free time. An average child spends approximately a
third of his/her day on social media platforms. The other major
time consumer is sleep. A combination of high-sugar foods and
lack of physical exercise is synonymous with obesity
advertisements on social media platforms fuel consumption of
such food. There is a need to increase children's involvement in
physical activities (Hamm et al. 2015). Children should be
encouraged to embrace dynamic behaviours such as finding
hobbies in things that they like doing, which will supplement
their addiction to media. Children are continuously exposed to
internet advertisements advocating for unhealthy food.
Advertisements on social media seek to satisfy hunger on an
emotional angle rather than health needs. Due to exposure of
false information which affects the health of the child, it then
affects the child’s developmental process is, therefore, affected
immensely.
It is also imperative to consider the effects of social media
on social-emotional growth. The three fundamental types of
learning are affected by social media (observational learning,
classical, and operant conditioning). Children can learn from
social media how to associate with certain events such as eating
habits and association which may lead the children to be
conditioned by social media, unaware that the information
might be false. Additionally,children’s observe behaviour on
social media and end up copying adverse reactions to issues of
lifestyle issues. Social media is turning out to be a forum for
bullying (Swist et al. 2015). Through cyberbullying, victims
suffer emotional and social setbacks. Further, social media can
fuel children into indulging in risky behaviour such as drug
abuse and sexual activities. It is not in contention that social
media benefits children; however, it is essential to carry out an
intensive study on the use of social media in society. In
particular, this research shall seek to critically analyze the
impacts of social media on children's developmental stages and
learning process.
How Social Media Use is Initiated
Influence central organization has reported that an average child
in the United States gets his/her first smartphone at the age of
ten. They also open up their first social media account at the
age of eleven. It is estimated that by the age of twelve, fifty
percent of all the children use at least one social media
platform. This then begs the question of how these children
manage to log on to these platforms, given that there is an age
limit for these sites (Griffiths, 2000). Notably, these children lie
about their age especially for sites such as Instagram, Tiktok,
Snapchat and Facebook all of which have set their age limit to
be thirteen as dictated by the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act.
Recently, Facebook launched a social media for children that
dubbed “Messenger for Kids.” The launch of this app reignited
major debates on how this app will negatively affect children
socialization and the type of content that they will be able to
share between themselves. The debate also would address the
issue of on how young is too young for children to use mobile
apps Common Sense reported in 2016, that up to fifty-six
percent of both teens and tweens have their social media
accounts. Most of the parents who were subjects of this study
pointed out that they have been dependent on the Children's
Online Privacy Act to come up with a stringent measure to
ensure that the companies creating these platforms come up
with more age limiting restrictions which their children cannot
bypass (Desmottes, 2016). It is prudent to note that while some
of them considered twelve to be a young age for children to be
using social media, most of them felt that they were okay to sit
down with their children and talk about the privacy concerns of
Social media use (Akram & Kumar, 2017). However, the
menace still looms with children under the age of five becoming
addicted to the internet. This implies that children
developmental stages of socializing are impeded from such an
early age
According to the report by Common Sense, most of the parents
objecting to thirteen-year-olds using social media were not
concerned with the detriment to the children’s developmental
stages as well as the learning stages, they were concerned with
the amount of time that was spent on the media platforms
(Akram & Kumar, 2017). This was an intriguing concern, as it
could be aligned with the topic with respect to the impediment
to the learning stages that are associated with the increased use
of social media platforms. The information that the children are
exposed to on social media tends to affect how they learn things
during their development stages.
Effects of Social Media in Young Children
The effect that social media has on young children with regards
to the learning stages is immense. The effects range from
affected communication and social skills to failure to have an
identity as well as a lack of self-esteem. All these negative
effects of social media are brought about by cyberbullying and
exposure to untrue information.
Firstly, internet use can be very addictive to children, and as
such most children will spend most of their time on social
media. This will mean that they will stop to have relationships
or interactions with people around them. Studies reveal that
engrossment to the internet in people is so great that people
become detached from real life (Best et al. 2015). The report
specifies the name of the report suggested that most children
under the age of five develop communication skills from
continuous interaction with the people around them, failure to
have these interactions will impede their communication skills
(Sampasa-Kanyinga & Lewis, 2015). The learning of
interpersonal communication is achieved at a very young age,
and when children under the age of five years spend most of
their time on social media, then they fail to learn the verbal and
nonverbal cues which are necessary for the development of
interpersonal communications.
Secondly, social media affects self-esteem and self-confidence
in young children. During adolescence is the time when a
person becomes aware of who he/she is since the body
experiences some changes during puberty. It is at this stage that
they become aware of their identity. Social media exposes
adolescents, to cyberbullying as well as unrealistic expectations
of how life in the real world is as compared to the cyber world
(Lewis & Greenshow, 2016). A perfect example is a girl whose
body does not conform to models as well as other children of
age, such a child will strain to achieve such looks to no avail,
and he/she will consequently realize that they cannot achieve it.
This will leave them with negative feelings about themselves,
thus affecting their self-esteem (Dorfberger et al. 2007).
Notably, the constant trying to emulate people in the media will
mean that they will not have time to discover themselves and
accept who they are. This translates to an affected self-
confidence.
The young age is the appropriate time when children learn skills
such as --no they do not learn to research, they learn to search!
and critical thinking. Children develop critical thinking skills
at the age of eight. However, it has been suggested that as soon
as children can speak in sentences, they are ready to engage in
critical thinking skills (Lewis & Greenshow, 2016). The study
shows that constant interactions with people around children
augment their skills to analyze situations critically. Excessive
use of social media affects and impedes communication skills
and the development of critical thinking skills (Lewis &
Greenshow, 2016). Additionally, the internet provides most
answers with just a click of the button, which means that
children will be dependent on the internet for answers which
they could have gotten through critical analysis of the
questions.
Addiction to Social Media in Children
Social Media Addiction is considered to be a behavioural
addiction. It is defined by an over-concern on what is happening
on social media. It is driven by an uncontrollable urge of a
person to log on to a social media site. Additionally, it is also
defined by the devotion of so much time as well as effort to
social media in a manner that impairs other important areas of
his/her life (Schweddler & Trude, 2018). Research has shown
that children under the age of five when overexposed to social
media to the point of addiction will have a difficult time in
adjusting to the social norms since he/she is used to the unreal
world of social media. It is vital to note that with the social
media platforms, reaction and comments for these children is
enough to cause their bodies to release dopamine, which is a
hormone that is released when the body wants to “reward” itself
(Schweddler & Trude, 2018). Consistent “Reward system” will
program their lives to such a system which will mean that they
will cease to engage in activities which they consider less
rewarding, for example, social interaction and engage in
harmful activities which they think may be more rewarding such
as cyber-bullying.
Effects of Addiction to Social Media to the Learning Process of
Young Children
Firstly, there is the sensorimotor stage which begins from birth
through to two years, and it is during this stage that children
become aware of the world through their senses as well as
manipulation of objects. There is not much effect at this stage
of social media on the children. The next stage is the
preoperational stage, and the first effects of social media
addiction are evidenced during this stage. It is during this stage
that memory and imagination are augmented in the children
(Duddai et al. 2015). The children at the adolescent age can
understand things symbolically and also become cognizant of
the ideas of the past and future. Social media addiction at this
age will limit their perception of things to the things present in
the social media platforms and hence deny their minds from
developing their thinking skills.
At the age of seven through to eleven years of age, the children
are at the concrete operational stage. It is at this stage where
they become aware of the external events as well as the feelings
of other people. With the upsurge in social media use, it is quite
evident that cyber-bullying becomes an apparent behaviour of
children as they develop the confidence to shame other people
over this platform (Raut & Patil, 2016). Lastly, there is the
formal operational stage that starts at the age of twelve through
to the teenage years. This developmental stage offers the
children the ability to be able to solve problems using critical
analysis (O'Keffe & Clark-Pearson, 2011). Social media limits
the ability of children to think critically by offering answers to
their problems by just a click of the button. In light of this,
therefore, an addiction will limit development at this stage.
Generation Z and Generation Y with regards to Social Media
Different generations use social media differently. While one
generation tends to use social media extensively, another
generation tends to limit their use of social media. Generation Y
is referred to as digital natives. This name can be attributed to
their usage of social media. According to Aksoy et al. (2013)
has shown that this is the largest of the generations and the fact
that they have access to the social networks gives them an upper
hand with regards to an impactful voice (Aksoy et al. 2013). A
millennial child is prone to oversharing, and the fact that they
have access to technology allows them the audience and liberty
to share and makes them ardent users of the technology. It is
important that this generation of users are the most outspoken
on social media and are therefore used to push brands on social
media (Coombes, 2009). The use of social media to this
generation is motivated by the fact that they like something and
not because they have been forced or pressured.
On the other hand, a study by Pew Research has revealed that

Customer strategies
This section deals with the elements the company has to keep
in mind to attract customers and advertise the Beauty Salon.
The customer will become a recurrent customer if he will have
a good experience with the store. It is important to emphasize
the key differences our store has over other hair salons
options.
We will get that with:
Digital and offline actions
A good digital performance to get brand positioning and
increase its visibility. But none of these actions will have an
effect on the physical salons if they don't perform offline
actions. Hyperlocal actions which provide the necessary
visibility
for the customers coming to the Salon.
Acquisition strategies
It's important to carry out these actions so that the Hair Salon
secures customers and becomes profitable.
● Distributing Discounts with Promoters: To get this kind
of collaboration with a Promoter, it is advisable to analyze
the area and see if there are any Promoter with which is
possible collaborate. Promoters are very useful to get
new customers as they act as prescribers of the service
using discounts or flyers provided by the Salon.
● Cross Promotions with Other Establishments: This is an
initiative that allow the company to collaborate with
other businesses in order to publicize our services. Some
kind of business that are frequented by the same target
audience with is possible do this are bars, restaurants,
cafés, etc.
● Flyer distribution: These kind of actions are one of the
most powerful tools to use. It is a hyperlocal, offline
marketing tactic and its success is guaranteed, as well
as being proportional to the invested resources.
● Poster Placement: Put some posters about the store can
be a very useful action to inform the potential customers. It
is advisable to have them in every place or businesses with
a lot of visibility (libraries; hospitals; etc.).
Management and
financial plan
An organizational structure of the business is just a simple
hierarchy of the business defining the positions of employees in
the
company.
This structure will help by telling the reporting system of the
company.

Define your own chart
This section has to include every regular expense,
expected future expenses, and associated expenses.
The financial plan is the task that will determine how the hair
salon and beauty business will afford to achieve its strategic
goals and
objectives. Usually, a company creates a Financial Plan
immediately after the vision and objectives have been set.
And at least must be composed of 6 elements:
1. Sales Forecasting
Is how the company has to estimate of the sales revenue for
every month, quarter and year.
3. Statement of Financial Position
The financial position on the balance sheet will offer a more
complete view of the business's health than a profit and loss
statement or a cash flow report.
2. Expense Outlay
Financial plan
A break-even analysis can tell your business how many units
need to sell at various price points to cover the costs.
4. Cash Flow Projection
Is where will predict the cash flow on a monthly, quarter and
annual basis.
6. Operations Plan
To be able to understand how to run the business as efficiently
as
possible will be necessary to understand what roles are required
to operate the whole company. It's important to control every
expense to get a healthy and propitious growth.
5. Break-Even Analysis
For a successful hair salon and beauty business, it is necessary
to get proper knowledge and skills in managing the entire
business.
The owners should take care of the company taking a personal
interest in all the activities staying updated the whole time.
And in order to adapt and prevent some risks that the business
could face anytime should take suitable measures to eliminate
or
minimize them.

Do you think you are addicted to social media? Yes No Sociological Theory and Methodology for the Topic Sociological Theory This topic falls under the structural-functionalism sociological theory. The structural functionalism theory seeks to find out the effects of social media on the stability and solidarity of society. This perspective or theory views the society as a complex system which is depended on the parts or units that make it up to ensure that the society functions as expected to achieve stability and solidarity and work as a unit. One of the main factors under this perspective is that different social structures are expected to shape society into a functional unit (Mulkay, 2014). Therefore, children, as part of the society should be shaped from home to ensure that they grow into useful and essential members of society by positively contributing to the welfare of society. This can only be achieved if the children are not affected by the destructive effects from social media use which change them into unproductive members of the society.
  • 10. The methodology of the topic This research used a qualitative study which analyzed the research question to find out the effects of social media on the children. The research gathered data used in the study after studying, analyzing and synthesizing a total of twenty-one peer- reviewed articles on the topic. The sectors that were analyzed included the background of social media use by children, the effects of social media and whether addiction to social media impairs the developmental stages of children. The research focused on finding out the different ways in which social media affects children. Introduction Over a period, social media has been a continuously growing phenomenon in our society. Today, almost all activities are influenced by social media. The effects of social media on a human being’s way of life remain a controversial topic. Some people believe that social media has a lot of advantages or benefits to the way of life, but on the other hand, others believe that it has a lot of disadvantages to the society (Desmottes, 2015). Without any doubt, social media encourages the creation of a global village by ensuring that people keep in touch quickly. By facilitating communication and interactions. Every individual can share sentiments, concerns, or ideas with a large number of people across the world. While a more natural connection is an obvious benefit, it is imperative to analyze how social media affects learning and developmental processes in children. Children continuously grow from birth to adulthood. During all these stages of development, the children gather knowledge from their environment. The children consume contents and experiences, which adversely affect their social, language, intellectual, emotional, and physical development. Every child follows the same developmental stages and learning process. The learning process is classified according to the child's
  • 11. developmental stage (Leung, 2014). It is prudent to note that social media has changed the learning process in children as they imitate what they are exposed to in social media, either positive or negative. Children are being exposed to information which they cannot adequately synthesize due to their mental capability and physical development. Although it is a good thing that children are exposed to more information, lack of parental control has adverse effects on learning. Today, children have underdeveloped social skills that are due to them being used to charting of communicating via social media they are unable to communicate with other people face to face (Best et al. 2013). Further, continued exposure to social media results in speech problems. These are some of the adverse effects of social media on children's developmental process; This is because the social media is uncontrolled and the children are exposed to some content meant for adults, and it affects them. As information is now readily available, children are exposed to false information on social media due to the lack of control on the social media platforms. False information on eating habits and poor lifestyle habits leads to obesity and other lifestyle conditions. Today, a large number of obesity cases can be directly attributed to social media. Children at a lower development stage may be inclined to believe in untrue information on unhealthy eating habits such as consumption of sugary and fatty food staffs lifestyle choices which result in lifestyle diseases (Sampasa-Kanyiga & Lewis, 2015. The children today have a problem with their eating habits. In most cases, children are addicted to high-sugar foods (Swist et al. 2015). Social media is recorded as the highest consumer of children's free time. An average child spends approximately a third of his/her day on social media platforms. The other major time consumer is sleep. A combination of high-sugar foods and lack of physical exercise is synonymous with obesity advertisements on social media platforms fuel consumption of such food. There is a need to increase children's involvement in physical activities (Hamm et al. 2015). Children should be
  • 12. encouraged to embrace dynamic behaviours such as finding hobbies in things that they like doing, which will supplement their addiction to media. Children are continuously exposed to internet advertisements advocating for unhealthy food. Advertisements on social media seek to satisfy hunger on an emotional angle rather than health needs. Due to exposure of false information which affects the health of the child, it then affects the child’s developmental process is, therefore, affected immensely. It is also imperative to consider the effects of social media on social-emotional growth. The three fundamental types of learning are affected by social media (observational learning, classical, and operant conditioning). Children can learn from social media how to associate with certain events such as eating habits and association which may lead the children to be conditioned by social media, unaware that the information might be false. Additionally,children’s observe behaviour on social media and end up copying adverse reactions to issues of lifestyle issues. Social media is turning out to be a forum for bullying (Swist et al. 2015). Through cyberbullying, victims suffer emotional and social setbacks. Further, social media can fuel children into indulging in risky behaviour such as drug abuse and sexual activities. It is not in contention that social media benefits children; however, it is essential to carry out an intensive study on the use of social media in society. In particular, this research shall seek to critically analyze the impacts of social media on children's developmental stages and learning process. How Social Media Use is Initiated Influence central organization has reported that an average child in the United States gets his/her first smartphone at the age of ten. They also open up their first social media account at the age of eleven. It is estimated that by the age of twelve, fifty percent of all the children use at least one social media platform. This then begs the question of how these children manage to log on to these platforms, given that there is an age
  • 13. limit for these sites (Griffiths, 2000). Notably, these children lie about their age especially for sites such as Instagram, Tiktok, Snapchat and Facebook all of which have set their age limit to be thirteen as dictated by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Recently, Facebook launched a social media for children that dubbed “Messenger for Kids.” The launch of this app reignited major debates on how this app will negatively affect children socialization and the type of content that they will be able to share between themselves. The debate also would address the issue of on how young is too young for children to use mobile apps Common Sense reported in 2016, that up to fifty-six percent of both teens and tweens have their social media accounts. Most of the parents who were subjects of this study pointed out that they have been dependent on the Children's Online Privacy Act to come up with a stringent measure to ensure that the companies creating these platforms come up with more age limiting restrictions which their children cannot bypass (Desmottes, 2016). It is prudent to note that while some of them considered twelve to be a young age for children to be using social media, most of them felt that they were okay to sit down with their children and talk about the privacy concerns of Social media use (Akram & Kumar, 2017). However, the menace still looms with children under the age of five becoming addicted to the internet. This implies that children developmental stages of socializing are impeded from such an early age According to the report by Common Sense, most of the parents objecting to thirteen-year-olds using social media were not concerned with the detriment to the children’s developmental stages as well as the learning stages, they were concerned with the amount of time that was spent on the media platforms (Akram & Kumar, 2017). This was an intriguing concern, as it could be aligned with the topic with respect to the impediment to the learning stages that are associated with the increased use of social media platforms. The information that the children are
  • 14. exposed to on social media tends to affect how they learn things during their development stages. Effects of Social Media in Young Children The effect that social media has on young children with regards to the learning stages is immense. The effects range from affected communication and social skills to failure to have an identity as well as a lack of self-esteem. All these negative effects of social media are brought about by cyberbullying and exposure to untrue information. Firstly, internet use can be very addictive to children, and as such most children will spend most of their time on social media. This will mean that they will stop to have relationships or interactions with people around them. Studies reveal that engrossment to the internet in people is so great that people become detached from real life (Best et al. 2015). The report specifies the name of the report suggested that most children under the age of five develop communication skills from continuous interaction with the people around them, failure to have these interactions will impede their communication skills (Sampasa-Kanyinga & Lewis, 2015). The learning of interpersonal communication is achieved at a very young age, and when children under the age of five years spend most of their time on social media, then they fail to learn the verbal and nonverbal cues which are necessary for the development of interpersonal communications. Secondly, social media affects self-esteem and self-confidence in young children. During adolescence is the time when a person becomes aware of who he/she is since the body experiences some changes during puberty. It is at this stage that they become aware of their identity. Social media exposes adolescents, to cyberbullying as well as unrealistic expectations of how life in the real world is as compared to the cyber world (Lewis & Greenshow, 2016). A perfect example is a girl whose body does not conform to models as well as other children of
  • 15. age, such a child will strain to achieve such looks to no avail, and he/she will consequently realize that they cannot achieve it. This will leave them with negative feelings about themselves, thus affecting their self-esteem (Dorfberger et al. 2007). Notably, the constant trying to emulate people in the media will mean that they will not have time to discover themselves and accept who they are. This translates to an affected self- confidence. The young age is the appropriate time when children learn skills such as --no they do not learn to research, they learn to search! and critical thinking. Children develop critical thinking skills at the age of eight. However, it has been suggested that as soon as children can speak in sentences, they are ready to engage in critical thinking skills (Lewis & Greenshow, 2016). The study shows that constant interactions with people around children augment their skills to analyze situations critically. Excessive use of social media affects and impedes communication skills and the development of critical thinking skills (Lewis & Greenshow, 2016). Additionally, the internet provides most answers with just a click of the button, which means that children will be dependent on the internet for answers which they could have gotten through critical analysis of the questions. Addiction to Social Media in Children Social Media Addiction is considered to be a behavioural addiction. It is defined by an over-concern on what is happening on social media. It is driven by an uncontrollable urge of a person to log on to a social media site. Additionally, it is also defined by the devotion of so much time as well as effort to social media in a manner that impairs other important areas of his/her life (Schweddler & Trude, 2018). Research has shown that children under the age of five when overexposed to social media to the point of addiction will have a difficult time in adjusting to the social norms since he/she is used to the unreal world of social media. It is vital to note that with the social
  • 16. media platforms, reaction and comments for these children is enough to cause their bodies to release dopamine, which is a hormone that is released when the body wants to “reward” itself (Schweddler & Trude, 2018). Consistent “Reward system” will program their lives to such a system which will mean that they will cease to engage in activities which they consider less rewarding, for example, social interaction and engage in harmful activities which they think may be more rewarding such as cyber-bullying. Effects of Addiction to Social Media to the Learning Process of Young Children Firstly, there is the sensorimotor stage which begins from birth through to two years, and it is during this stage that children become aware of the world through their senses as well as manipulation of objects. There is not much effect at this stage of social media on the children. The next stage is the preoperational stage, and the first effects of social media addiction are evidenced during this stage. It is during this stage that memory and imagination are augmented in the children (Duddai et al. 2015). The children at the adolescent age can understand things symbolically and also become cognizant of the ideas of the past and future. Social media addiction at this age will limit their perception of things to the things present in the social media platforms and hence deny their minds from developing their thinking skills. At the age of seven through to eleven years of age, the children are at the concrete operational stage. It is at this stage where they become aware of the external events as well as the feelings of other people. With the upsurge in social media use, it is quite evident that cyber-bullying becomes an apparent behaviour of children as they develop the confidence to shame other people over this platform (Raut & Patil, 2016). Lastly, there is the formal operational stage that starts at the age of twelve through to the teenage years. This developmental stage offers the children the ability to be able to solve problems using critical
  • 17. analysis (O'Keffe & Clark-Pearson, 2011). Social media limits the ability of children to think critically by offering answers to their problems by just a click of the button. In light of this, therefore, an addiction will limit development at this stage. Generation Z and Generation Y with regards to Social Media Different generations use social media differently. While one generation tends to use social media extensively, another generation tends to limit their use of social media. Generation Y is referred to as digital natives. This name can be attributed to their usage of social media. According to Aksoy et al. (2013) has shown that this is the largest of the generations and the fact that they have access to the social networks gives them an upper hand with regards to an impactful voice (Aksoy et al. 2013). A millennial child is prone to oversharing, and the fact that they have access to technology allows them the audience and liberty to share and makes them ardent users of the technology. It is important that this generation of users are the most outspoken on social media and are therefore used to push brands on social media (Coombes, 2009). The use of social media to this generation is motivated by the fact that they like something and not because they have been forced or pressured. On the other hand, a study by Pew Research has revealed that only … Beauty Business Plan Kit Start and develop a profitable hair salon business Index ● Hair Salon Business Opportunity
