In our current generation, we have become so attached to the media, as it is something we take advantage of to share new experiences for everyone else around the world to see. For example, young adults document experiences by taking photos and uploading them on Facebook or Instagram. Social media opens many doors for anyone who seeks to share their talents, stories, creativity and ideas with the world. If it weren’t for social media, it would be very hard to share your own experiences with all of your friends and even the world.
Students tend to try and multitask by going on social media sites while studying. This ruins their concentration and can easily distract from getting anything done which causes grades lower because of the work that is being submitted. It can also interfere with adults that have jobs. Instead of doing the work that they are supposed to do, they tend to some tend to check their phone quite often. This distracts you from being efficient on the job and can cause problems that lead to losing the job. Instead of typing on the computer, write it on paper. Keep all devices off to avoid distractions.
Do you on your phone before bed? Now that everyone has access to their own phone, it is causing people to browse the Internet and check through their social media applications before going to bed. There are many studies that show using social media sites before bed is reducing the amount of sleep they are getting and it negatively affects their school performance. Some people would even wake up in the middle of the night to check their phone. Before smartphones existed, people would read books instead. It is a much better than browsing on your phone because you are not looking at a screen. Everyone should look for other resources instead of their phones.
Imagine living in a world dominated by technology. Without it, social media would be barely existent. The time before technology became a norm, a necessity, it was something treasured as a luxury and more of a want. In the past generation, it was meeting new people, talking to friends face to face, now, it’s communicating in front of a phone, a computer screen, and any sort of technology. In our current generation, we are gradually losing the essential idea of communication to talk to other people. We are at a point in time where we feel more comfortable communicating through a device, compared to when face to face with another.
Recording exiting things have been essential for people’s everyday lives. For example, at a concert, you see almost everybody recording it. Although it is nice to have everything documented for another day to watch again, it may ruin the current day experience. In past generations, they would just enjoy the moment and remember it for years and years. This allows for stories to be told and it enhances the memories. The only people that experienced it would really remember how it was. With the technology advancing, it gives even more ways to record moments. Everyone should remember take a stand back once in a while, take a broad look at things and live in the moment.
