            Twitters effect on society is that once Twitter came out it quickly became popular and many people started to use it. Twitter became a daily routine for some people, they would Tweet what they were doing and anything else and more and more people start to follow in your footsteps and sooner or later more people are using Twitter.
Twitter can also be used for businesses. You can distribute coupons or other offers through twitter and to your followers. It can also be used to contact your employees and receive complaints or compliments from the customers. Businesses that work online can also use twitter to advertise and link people to their new products to get more people to buy your product all over the world.
Twitter is also used a lot to communicate with your friends family etc.  Twitter is used to also socialize and to post what you’re doing throughout your day. Twitter has about 232 million active users posting daily. People like to use Twitter on their smartphones to post or to just see what people are up too.
Twitter can also be used as an entertainment purpose also because actors actresses and music groups can post their works of art onto Twitter for everyone to see and view. Since a lot of people use Twitter on a daily basis it is a lot easier to advertise anything you are trying to get out to the public. When people are on Twitter they are always looking for what people are doing so when an artist releases something on Twitter most likely people will watch it and spread it to their friends to watch.
Twitter can also be used to share news. Again a lot of people are always on Twitter so if something happens in the world you will have other people posting on what is going on and if you follow the news on Twitter they will keep you updated on what’s going on in the world.
Twitter also can be used recreationally. You can use Twitter to follow your favorite people tv shows and anything else you enjoy and you can view it on a daily basis. Just by going on Twitter you can have enjoyment because of how many people are constantly posting on Twitter and there's millions of pages to follow so anything you are interested in will be on Twitter.
Twitter can be used to be abusive and dangerous if you are not careful. If you are posting something on Twitter and you don’t realize how bad it can be once you post it you can’t get rid of it someone out there may have screenshotted it retweeted it which will show other people and making it harder to delete the chain of people reposting it. Also if you were to go to a bar with your friends and you get drunk and then decide to drive home and in the process tweet about how you are driving while you had a few drinks that can be taken to the federal level and you would probably get arrested for drinking while driving if you are caught. Whatever you post on Twitter make sure that you re-read what you have posted to make sure that you will not regret posting it the next day. Although you can delete a “Tweet” other people can make it so it is their forever and if you look hard enough you can find what you have posted in the past.
