The new online connection tools or the new
social media is the newest way to keep connection with others nowadays. This
technology is developing day by day. Moreover, it makes a big influence on
people especially the new generation. It is not all about connection, people
feel cool when they have many accounts on different social media showing their pictures
and updating new status. Sometimes it seems ridicules because this technology
harms the people privacy. Furthermore, people tend to replace the real
conversations (face to face connection) with the online texting and chatting
and I believe this is not healthy for the normal relationships between family
members and between friends. Those tools declined the real value of having a
conversation with someone and also it changed the language. It started to
appear many unknown words for those people who don’t really engaged with social
media such as parents generation.
One more dark side for this technology,
that sometimes a person becomes addicted to it. And most people do not have
control or resistance to the magic of social media. It became normal to see people
texting when they are walking or eating or even checking their phones the first
thing when they wake up and last thing before they sleep. This is one indicator
can help to indicate that someone is addicted to social media. This addiction
leads people to procrastination and being careless towards their responsibilities and for this reasons, people have to control their usage and limit their access. People
can use the virtual alarm clock on their phones to alert them if they spent too much
time on social media. Also they can keep themselves busy with outside
activities and make more time for hobbies. Spending time with family without
cell phones also is a good idea to reduce the harmful effects of technology.
