EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA Presented by :NABEEL AHMED FA19-EEE-069 DISADVANTAGES OVERWEIGHT ADVANTAGES OVER 70% OF PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16 TO 22 SPEND THERE FREE TIME ON SMARTPHONES. AVERAGE ATTENTION SPAN OF A HUMAN HAS GONE DOWN TO 9 SEC. INSTANT GRATIFICATION DOPAMINE ACCORDING TO A SURVEY, MOST PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15 TO 35 CHECK THEIR PHONES AT MIDNIGHT. SOCIAL APPS WERE NEVER MADE TO MAKE OUR LIFE COMFORTABLE. THEY WERE MADE SO THE DEVELOPERS CAN EARN HUGE PROFITS. SOCIAL MEDIA LINKED WITH INCREASED RATES OF ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND LACK OF PATIENCE. ASK FOR SUPPORT AND ADVICES ONLINE INSTEAD OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS AGAIN AND AGAIN WHICH CAN SOME TIMES BE DANGEROUS. ALTHOUGH WE CAN INTERACT WITH FRIENDS ONLINE BUT THESE INTERACTIONS REDUCE THE LEISURE TIME WE SPEND WITH OUR FAMILIES. INFACT WE MOSTLY TALK TO OUR FAMILIES NOW WHEN WE NEED SOME THING OR THE WIFI IS DOWN. LONG TERM GOALS REQUIRE PATIENCE, CONSISTANCE AND DISIPLINE SO WE MOSTLY IGNORE THEM AND TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM: FIRSTLY, TRY AND REDUCE THE TIME YOU SPEND ON THESE APPS SLOWLY. IF THAT DOESN’T WORK THEN STOP USING YOUR SMART PHONE FOR SOME DAYS OR DELETE SOME OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA APPS.
