What I plan to contribute to my topic is updated information about the effects of social media on our interpersonal relationships. Social media evolves everyday and the way we communicate evolves with it. What I can specifically add is a statistic I found that states 81 percent of people have a social media account. https://www.statista.com/statistics/273476/percentage-of-us-population-with-a-social-network-profile/
