In my opinion, yes. For one, I’m kinda addicted to Facebook. Yes, Facebook. I stay away from Tik tok. Back to the matter on hand, yeah. We’re addicted. It’s not a bad thing as long as you don’t let it control who you are.
@Discussions?
Yeah, social media is such an important part of everyone’s life. And not necessarily in a good way, thinking about how echo chambers exist in social media. That basically means people only come across things in line with their already existing views. This is making people a lot less accepting of other opinions. People learn in a way smaller extent that other opinions exist due to social media. Especially since social media is also a source of news and information for many people, and I don’t think that’s a good thing. Sure, it has benefits, but in general I don’t see it as positive…
This is sad but true.
Not necessarily did we let it per se, but it’s became so prevalent that it’s made the worlds’ perception shift on its own.
Though a lot of people have lost sense of boundary on usage, I could say.
Whenever I realize I’ve wasted more than an hour on any given site, app, or any other non-productive activity, I force myself to stop and go do something else until I can focus on productive things again. Took me years to be able to do it. (to stop doom scrolling)
