Is social media killing our time? Nowadays it seems like social medias are as common as oxygen we breath in. You just cannot stay without checking notifications that popped out on your mobile phone, pc or tablets(whatever you
use). It is really hard to resist. I have been there done that. But we don't think about the time we are wasting by seeing the notifications and all the things that are stacked up in our social media news feeds. Maybe the saying "Too much of anything is bad"is true and in terms of social media it also applies where we see too much information and it seems that we cannot ignore any of it. Moreover not every information on the newsfeed you see is true. Research shows that 20 percent of the things that you see on social media news feed are true and the rest are likely to be false and made up which is pretty sad because you waste all your valuable time seeing those news which have no value at all. Nearly everyone seems to have a facebook account if not then twitter or instagram.
Well i m not saying these are all bad practices but it becomes a problem when you spend too much time on social media and don't do anything productive. On average a person spends 4 to 5 hours a day on social media whether it is facebook, twitter, instagram or even Youtube, We can use this medias in our favor if we think smart. In case of facebook you can use it in a moderate amount of time and nothing harm on that but if you use it longer or at a rate that hampers your daily life and prevent you from doing something productive or creative than thats a problem. So rather than reading flawed informations on social media we can read books and gather much more quality informations. People these days almost forgot about the term BOOK. They rarely read books as it takes a lot of time but fail to realize that the time is really worth it. Many people might think that we can learn from watching youtube but the problem here is how many of them are actually knowledgable? They may feed you wrong or flawed information any day. I saw many people telling flawed information on youtube and they are getting away with that because of the huge view counts and subscribers. Think about it again when you watch a tutorial or a video about education is it the right information or just another flawed one? It is better to read books than to get feed by the wrong informations presented by the uneducated people. Because limited knowledge is very dangerous thing that destroys your career.
