The Impact of Social Media On HCI

The rising use of social media has changed how humans fundamentally interact with computers and with each other. The widespread and continuous use of social media has led to increasing awareness of its impact on mental health and the addictiveness of these interactions. It has also changed interpersonal interaction, how companies conduct marketing, and the way information is presented online. This paper discusses how the devices we use to communicate have become an integral part of life, how the increased connectivity has impacted our society, social media addiction, interface design, user experience and other developments with Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in social media.
