and strangers, after the wide spread development of smart phones. Today Social
media is something that everyone is busy all the time. It’s part of our lives
that we cannot separate, as the air we breathe. Difficult to find anyone without
phone, or leaving his phone calmly somewhere, in exception some far village
people, perhaps.·

But
today We want to draw your attention to the negativity of social media. MADINA,
a college practitioner in India shared her experienced opinion on social media.
“To my thinking, since nearly 2 decades that social media
dominating the Web, the negative effects of these networking sites overweigh
the positive ones. All of us starting from teens up to elders became dependable
to our phones, constantly engaged using hundred times throughout a day. It
turns into reflex checking out phones, chats, social profiles; even we don’t get
any message just we want to see , doesn’t matter wherever we are: college,
work, university, with friends, family , at home, library etc. We used to do it
several times in a day. How we are allowing one small device monitor our life,
now maybe many of you say it is not like this, but it is….
- We get up early morning with checking the updates of our friends in social sites and sleep late night as well with phone, being online in Facebook or Instagram. We become addicted to it. We never get enough of using it. We can’t stop ourselves from it already.At 2014 Pew Center study states that 40%of smart phone users access social media from their phones- and 28% do it on a daily basis. A percentage of individuals accessing social media via their phone or mobile device continuous to rise.
- Our concentration is lost. We cannot stay long reading a book or another subject literature from college, not speaking about libraries; it looks like history for us.
- Respect is lost. We don’t care that much about the friend who is speaking to us, our head is down to phone. We gather once in a week to meet and enjoy, but everyone is busy with phone. The relationships cracked. Once we fight, we don’t bother about making up again, from how long we came up to day-our relationship value is not important, as we have a lot of virtual friends , even though we don’t meet them.A common complaint, highlighted on debate .org suggest social media is making us less social and more aggressive
- People isolated. We sit hours or several days without going out or meeting with people. We chat with them online, this become like meeting. It bring us to loneliness, we are not noticing this.
- Education level gets down. We are not studying, not doing research, because our concentration is going to Facebook. Our speech has gone, we forget interaction with people. Communication skills reduced, cos computer grammar is writing instead of us. The abbreviations we are using in chats affecting our communication , knowledge, we are losing our language.
- Time wasting…. If only everyone ask himself this question. You know how much time you spend on social media. With everyone it is more than limitations. What is the result? What we get from it?--- Nothing. Nothing useful for our study, work. Only we lose priceless one—time. A Global Web Index poll shows that 28% of the time spends online is on social networks.
- Today we are lazy. We have daily to do list, but at the end of the day though even half of it not done. We cannot make ourselves stand up and do……just…just…We let ourselves spend the day with phone.
- Affecting productivity. Mostly businesses use social media to find and communicate with clients. But it is a great distraction to employees, who may show more interest in what their friends are posting than in their work tasks. Wired.com posted 2 studies which demonstrated damage to productivity caused by social networking.
