Call it Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Tweeter, Snapchat et al - in fact, tools created to help us connect and communicate with one another have started to erode the social fabrics of how our society works. The conundrum, however, is: do the creators / management of such tools really care for our wellbeing or are they planned tools created to control and exploit us? Here are some few points:
Physical Socializing: Most of us that are older were blessed because we go out to play with friends and family members. Conversely, however, thanks to social media and video games (unfortunately) our young people do not care to play outside- rather when they visit themselves, almost all have their smart phones where they continue their group chats, facebook, jokes, instagram pictures, snapchat , whatsApp , video games etc. Most seriously, they tend to be aggressive if their parents take the tools away from them due to the addictive nature of those tools-resulting to less mentally /physically fit children.
Control mechanism: do you know that most centralized social media platforms like facebook and tweeter are used by central governments to spy , control and send out fake information’s? Moreover, facebook, for example, do use our data’s for their own commercial purposes without giving us a dime!!! Thanks to steemit, most of us can earn well blogging what we love.
Moreover, most powerful people (even President Trump : POTUS) cannot do without their tweeter which means that something is wrong.
Some Solutions:
Try off your smart phone or computers for one week -very difficult because all our lives are revolving there-at least that is what our brain tells us . Moreover, you can create a balance ie time to play with friends and family members and time to be online. Do not buy smart phones and video games for children because they are fragile. Most importantly, avoid sharing all your datas on social media platforms especially your family / children pictures and teach your children how to play outdoors.
