What was the
life when there were no televisions, computers and mobile phones; you can say
the life was not developed because of the lack of the facilities but in real
sense the life was very simple. People were simple with a lot of time consuming
with ourselves because there was no fastness. People were meeting with each other
after long time and this was the reason there was love and respect for each
other. On the other side, today there is modernity in everything, people are
connected to the world means one person sitting in corner of the world can be
connected to other one who is sitting in other corner and can get live updates
this is because of the connectivity of whole world as a global village.
No doubt, this technology of connectivity
gives us a huge benefit but what we people really using this connectivity as a
use full tool or we are exploiting it? Because I personally think that we are
exploiting the technology more instead of getting benefit. We will see by
taking a little example of media.
Any Medium like radio, television or other
digital medium is created or invented for the people and for their easiness but
someone has said ‘Excess of everything is bad’ means everything mostly we use
have two sides positive and negative ones. For example most people see
television for entertainment and infotainment purpose but many others sit whole
day in front of television and slowly they become habitual for whole life. So, today
here we will discuss about the form of digital media that is social media.
Social media
in modern world emerged as revolutionary tool for change we know that few years
ago when people were not much aware about this medium they were mainly
dependent on print and electronic mediums no doubt also today they are but not
as much as followers of social media which includes
Facebook,Whats app,Twitter,Snap-chat,Instagram etc.
Today in
busy world people for more or latest information go through the social media as
it gives quick information with entertainment .Social media is not only a platform
of connecting the people the where people from all around are connected and
sharing their thoughts with each other and completing their tasks with mutual
understanding but with millions of users it has been become a platform for
business promotion and money making.
In social
media every day we get more information about everything it is not right that
we always receive true information sometimes we also wrong information which is
not properly researched that people give their opinion without checking facts
and this effects us in reliability matter which in result lead us to stress.
It also
leads us to loneliness that people who are addicted to social media mostly try
to remain alone as other cannot disturb him/her. But in real sense such people
are not only wasting their time but also experiencing negative effects lack of
sleep; withdraw from social connectivity and getting eye problems.
Social media
create one kind of a fear in which we mentally become sick such as fear of
privacy in which personnel data can be stolen and by getting that by hacking
one can blackmail you and say complete my demands either I will show this
privacy to the world which in result create a worry and mind disturbance for
us.
Other these,
overwhelming use of social media also
creates physical impacts on our health
.for example when we are driving our focus is on the driving but when with
driving we enjoying social media which mostly people do which results accidents
because of the distraction. Means distraction is the harm full factor which
needs to be under consideration.
Due to whole
day sitting in front of the computer or before screen using social media we are not connected with other things like
exercise which enables us to continue
and spend more life but due to the habit social media we ignore the exercise
resultantly we became lazy and do not do other work. And continue typing of the
words on the computer affects our hands and wrists. In last I would say, Social
media is a plateform for expressing thoughts words and feelings. However it
depend on us how we use it positive and in efficient way or in a way which
leads us to destruction of our health. Being aware of the risks and
vulnerabilities if we do not care ourselves then who will do. It is up to us to
make sure that social connectivity does not turn into social dysfunction.
Staying
healthy on Social Media
Now one
question may arise in your thinking process any educated person may not remain
without use of social media its answer will be you are right nobody will deny
from usage of social media the matter to say that use social media in positive
way which does not affect your health including physical work and from other
social causes. When you use it consciously and in moderation, it does not
affect you and have a positive impact on your life.
Here are
some general tips to keep in mind.
If you have become habitual of social media and cannot remain without it, then should consult with doctor or some positive people or engage yourself in any other activity or you can also get other professional help.
Use social media at certain times. Means there should be time table for usage which does not let you interfere with your work, studies or other relationships.
