The negative side of Social Media

I remembered clearly that long ago, I posted an entry (I think I'm the first few to realise this problem and recently this issue was quite a topic in FB) about friends using their iPhone during gathering and that it is ironic as it takes away the communication that it is supposed to offer. (I'll try to find my old post)

Today, I read an article about the effects of Social Media on individual person. Basically, it says that a person will get emo if he/she sees his friends perfect life in FB. That emo-ness is a problem as it makes one feels worthless, not loved and lower his confidence and more. True, it seems and I shall attempt to reduce my FB from now on.

A worth thinking point is the friend who posted the "perfect" photo, the photo shows a group of smiling friends, standing close together and seems to be having the time of their life. However, is that the case? After the photo, will they return back to their smart phone? Or will they continue as the photos showed, smiling and laughing away. This, we will have no idea about. Posting photo and sharing them with your friends is a great way to inform and tell people about your life and what you are up to recently and reader has to adjust their mindset and be contented with what they now have (Not easy). *

*My ending is bad because I do not know how to proceed on but you got the idea right? Haha.
