Due to increasing time spent on socialmedia, In person interaction is decreasing in social circles. In my opinion there are more cons to this situation than pros. Social applications are not only addictive but also it shortens the attention span for any individual. In this essay I will discuss how negatives of this condition is more than positives.
Firstly, These softwares are so addictive in nature. Nowadays people spend horrible amount of time on this apps, which leads to mental health issues and stress management problems. Although all the precautionary measures taken for kids, yet they endup being addicted to such things on internet. For example, In india few years ago, one game which was linked to social apps caused so many suicides. Without any censoring body, this apps will be out of control, which will be eventually responsible to destroy the youth.
Secondly, If we consider concentration problem in young generation than people who use such things has very low attention span as compared to normal ones. Evidence shows that people with friends and family, who over use these things are more likely to have this problem. If this situation goes out of hand, we will need to open more mental health clinics in near future. All of this will lead to less educated society, which will not be a good place to live.
In conclusion, these disadvantages not only will be harmful for the society but also some day start a war. As all other addictions, this habit of over using social media will be a cause for major mental health concern.
