How much magical poison attracts you on social media?

We have all accepted the fact that social media is everywhere in our lives. Wherever we go, we carry a vast and colorful world in our pockets and hands. We are so busy that we owe to social networks that we are still talking to many people whom we have not seen for years. We can’t meet, but we follow each other and communicate. Now we do not forget about the special days of our loved ones and can even accompany them. We can access everything from new “trends” to instant news with a single “click”.

When we wake up in the morning, isn’t our phone the first thing we check before getting out of bed? Even on the day when we can meet up with friends we haven’t seen for a long time, we find ourselves somewhere on social networks at the very first moment when the conversation becomes stagnant. Did we go to the movies… Did anyone pick up the phone during the 10 minute break? Are we missing something? Oh, we didn’t fail!

We think that through the publications we share, we make our voices heard and that we fulfill our civic duty when appropriate. stands on the Instagram logo red heart +1 sounds good to us. We like to be recognized. As we like, we get into a vicious circle where we look forward to each next +1. In fact, we cannot see that social networks are a swamp that we are increasingly drawn into as we use them.

While those of us who are a little more aware of the seriousness of the situation try to update our accounts more often and take our phones less often, this often leads to frustration. He tells our children that they will spend time on the Internet at certain times of the day; up to a certain age, we do not give them phones, maybe we keep them away from the TV. But while we make these rules for them, we continue to do nothing for ourselves. We prefer to take a picture of him and share him, rather than accompany him while playing in the park. We lose “moments” in our real life with the minutes we spend on social media that we think we have caught the moment.
