How Social Media Sites Can Distract You From Real Life
Social media sites are all the rage at the moment, there are people all over the world using them and over the next decade or so that figure is set to rise further and further.
In some ways people have literally become obsessed with social networking sites that they have actually forgot about anything and everything else in the world.
People are literally using these sites whenever they can; even when people are going on holiday they stop to use the computers in the airport to check their profiles.
With the rise of mobile web access people are constantly being updated with their friends on the move.
But how bad are social networking sites really affecting some industries? Let us take a quick look.
Education Most of the homework and course work people get these days will have to be completed on the computer.
But people are becoming less and less interested in their work, because all they can think about whilst they are on the computer is checking their social profiles to see if they have received a message, thus making them fail courses.
Work If people work in an office with internet access, then once again they are going to become hugely distracted by constantly checking on their profiles.
This is definitely a bad thing to do as it will affect your workload and probably make you get the sack.
Lifestyle Going swimming, meeting friends or popping up town was something that everyone used to love to do, nowadays people want to get home or bring their mobile phones with them so they can constantly keep checking their profiles.
Driving When people finish work or are out somewhere, they jump into their cars and rush to get home, just so they can again check their profiles.
What they are doing is breaking the law by driving fast and putting their own lives at risk.
Holidays People no longer relax whilst they go on holidays, holidays used to be a time for getting over the stresses of the year and just having a well deserved break, but now more and more people are taking time out of their holiday to update their statuses and online picture albums.
Although social networking sites are great fun, there is a fine line between that and obsession.
The whole world has become so obsessed with checking people's pictures and profiles that they are not having time to actually spend with their families or friends.
