Social Media

Technology has become such an integral part of our lives especially since the smartphone arrived since the 2000s and gradually took more and more of our time in our daily lives.  This is more true as during lockdown in last two years everyone had free time.  For me like many of us it is just like an harmless habit turned into such a soft addiction now-a-days.  I tend to get hooked to social media especially before going to sleep which is one habit I am trying to replace with other things especially reading.  Still working on it.

I am glad that I was not exposed to smartphone culture when growing up.  But perhaps television was to our generation what smartphone is now.   The millennial generation was perhaps the last generation who learned the importance to socialise without the use of social media and also perhaps the first generation who know how to balance between the virtual and real world.

Facebook is good in a way to get to know what your friends and relatives are upto and when they want to share.  But really should be in moderation and not as a constant checking.  We all worry so much about how we portray ourselves and what others think about us.  We are all trying so hard to project an idealised image of our lives.

Now a days Youtube, Facebook and Instagram are absolutely everywhere.  These three mediums are used to connect people with companies, clubs and whatnot.  The different populations from various parts of the planet are being brought closer and closer through such media.  

Then there is blogger which i use as an online diary.
