Have you already become addicted to Facebook? I definitely have, but I still find time to do other things, like write an article about it. Let’s find out what the pros and cons of a ‘Facebook addiction’ could be.
I am addicted?
Ask yourself: How much time do I spend on Facebook daily? This will give you an indication of whether or not you are addicted. I would say that if you neglect your work, your social life, your family, or yourself because you can’t live a day without checking Facebook, then you might be addicted. The same applies to the computer any other thing or substance.
Why do I get addicted?
It’s easy with Facebook: It keeps you connected with your friends so you know what they’re doing, where they are and what’s going on in their lives without leaving your own home, calling or interacting live. life. It’s partly a side effect of today’s society and its habit of becoming less involved in real life and more in the online world.
With the social network, we can navigate someone’s life by looking at their uploaded photos, checking their updates, and checking out their friends. As soon as we make a new friend, they will be directed to their profile and any previously hidden content will now be available. I guess anyone who’s even a little curious will take a ride, right?
real-time updates
Since March 2009, Facebook has been updating its news in real time in response to its competitor Twitter. This makes it mandatory to return often; otherwise you might miss people’s updates. Updates happen all the time and if you’ve been off Facebook for a week, you’re left behind. Your emails will be waiting for you in your inbox, but the top news on your Facebook page will carry on whether you look at it or not.
Email or Facebook?
Nowadays, I personally prefer to check Facebook first when I turn on my computer before checking my emails. This is because email will need you to respond and potentially do something, whereas social media seems more fun and elusive. I must assume that this happens to other users as well, as I spoke to a client of mine who a few months ago wanted nothing to do with Facebook and now prefers it to checking his emails.
So what’s the problem?
I think if social media keeps you away from real-life social interactions, you may want to reconsider your motives or perhaps limit your time on the computer.
