Social Networking: Addiction

I decided to prepare my project on the Analysis of social networking: addiction. As technology and social media era truly blossomed, we can see the social media and smartphones have been limited to TV, magazines, and newspapers into something that follows us everywhere. In this project, I will give examples and discuss the following questions: what are some signs of social media addiction, the positive and negative influence we have in our lives, and the cause and effect of this addiction? People are spending more time on the social media networks and less time involved in real life activities. All day on social media images and posts are flashing to us, and generating the feelings of need, lack and competition. The social platform was originally set up with the best of intention became quickly the largest, most powerful social controller of all time. It’s pushing everyone to display their ideal life and to watch their ideal peers who have created an avatar’s life based on the attention and validation of others.
