People had to wait for mails decades ago and now they can send and receive text messages and in few seconds through apps like Whatsapp and Fiber and In fact, e-mails with applications like G-mail and Hotmail etc.
On the contrary, many people are making themselves distant and live in solitude because of social media. A famous American author Mark Manson said: “Our problems are not merely financial or technical, they are existential and spiritual”. People are getting affected by political polarization , depression and feeling of guilt and shame after watching an unknown person looking successful on the screen. People love to be on the screens and have a sedentary lifestyle which is making us weak and sluggish. Not only this, people have glamorized sadness as an aesthetic which often goes under the carpet and could be disastrous for us and our upcoming posterity.
In conclusion, all we need to decipher is social media is not destructive as a tool to be used but a wonderful way of linking with our loved ones and people with different ideas, customs and races. But we also need to track our social media usage and not let us get victimized by the use of it.
