Description:

The form of mass media was a new invention following the First World War. As for another medium, "social media," it only began to flourish after the rapid development of the internet. Before our natural human relationships and cognitive models developed through evolution could catch up, it had already dominated our lives and shortened our attention spans. Astounding research points out that, on average, half of young people are online during their daily waking hours, which is a serious warning sign. This addiction involves hidden dimensions: if you don't use it, you are considered unsociable and outdated. Some individuals derive a thrill similar to gambling addiction from others' likes and shares, driving them to compulsively check social media and gather information. Furthermore, because modern people who constantly use their smartphones are not tied down to a computer, they mistakenly believe they are not exceeding their screen time. This compromises the real-life skills of those addicted. Social media, originally designed to maintain social harmony, has paradoxically made so many people agitated, detached, and antisocial.
