Method 102 of being productive: Social media is not for social communication
With the growth of technology, there have become many changes in the ways of communication. In recent years, indeed social media have become the most popular channel for communicating and sharing personal lifestyle with others all around the world. It actually affects numerous fields and almost the whole society with diverse ages which is something unusual for a human being, but over some years social media have become a major part and one of the biggest platforms for communities and even their politicians and rulers to keep up with the revolution of social media.
On one hand, there are beneficiaries who rely on these applications to advertise themselves and reach their audiences with few processes. On the other hand unfortunately certain unuseful persons come out and show off themselves as influencers as well as commercial corporations which don’t care about anything except their revenue. It seems disgusting when you resist these applications attempting to ignore the need of being in touch and up to date because they are not just social programs that connect the world together as known. Hence we cannot point out the truth in this case, yes it’s completely practical and yes it’s completely a catastrophe.
In some cases, there must be a dark side to anything especially when it talks about social media. We can see children who leave their homework to play video games and sharing their daily life on social media. It leads to influence other kids to gain more followers and reach. Wasting time isn’t a problem at all because they used to deal with social media routinely. they get up from the bed and use their phones to check out the news and notifications with some tiny messages. Moreover, every day there is new news that appears to attract your attention and doesn’t stop repeating and sending you notifications to figure out what is happening in the world. By the way, It might be important, but not always. In my opinion, it displays how there are many secrets behind these platforms. According to their policy and terms of use, it is pretty simple to share our information and data with anyone who pays for it whatever the target and reason.
Unfortunately, we don’t notice that we live in a big place that requires us to connect to it because it’s actually the actual place that we should care about and focus on it. It’s horrible to think of our future if we keep doing this behavior throughout our entire life. as an adult, society won’t show us any mercy. we will lose control and confidence.
As we have seen, there are lots of features and negative sides to social media. But we must balance them according to our needs and look forward to a smart generation. The book is clear by its cover, we decide when to gain benefits and how we could damage our society by social media. If we lose dominance we will not be able to cope with the situation. Technology opens opportunities for us to build a good future and make the world a better place.
Obviously, It is the simplest source of information for end-users, a place of publishing your thoughts with no fear, and a way of social interaction with several of the world cultures. it makes the world a small place. It is a social zone that is open to the public with different nationalities and backgrounds. As one of the marketing researchers said that “It is like a huge open buffet which serves people’s needs and makes a lot of money at the same time”.
This concept with no doubt is true, as we can see in recent years the more you use these media, the more you become closer to being remarkable and influencer. According to some startup companies, the best solution to start their activity is by using social media as a marketplace to promote their work. The repeated question turns out again and said “Why it’s always the first choice, Why it’s so impactful”?
This thesis has various answers consists of many topics that take years to be discussed. In brief, let’s take a look at TV shows, they engage you to join them through social media, and what about our zone? Usually, you’re considered as an isolated person and you might have a problem if you don’t have at least two social accounts otherwise your hypothesis about living without checking out the notifications routinely isn’t acceptable. In Psychology, the human brain can be affected by colors and sound to implement an action or at least obey the orders without resistance attempting to achieve instinctive goals that may satisfy his\her desire. What has said about “social dilemma” is all about greed and what do fatal companies need from users, they need you to be pleased in wasting time in front of the screen switching between multiple apps skipping a story after story regardless of what have you done ignoring your tasks and the real world for sure.
Rarely who knows what happens behind the scene, what they actually do and what the purpose behind developing new technology to let people be more engageable.
To sum up the creepy mission that they aim for it. The first is simply hacking your life using your data as a prediction controller to make actions, and here I mean actions they want you to deploy by yourself in a state of happiness and social connection. In regards to data here is the second reason, your data is the crucial key for new updates, upgrades, stylish looks, better UX, and surely the fastest solution you’ll ever have. For example of how social media prompt users to interact in a matter of seconds, did you hear the ringtone? Yes, they dive deeply inside what makes your mind feels busy and important, how to don’t lose the news, how to be in touch per second. It’s the notifications. What manipulate you as a machine, you hear the sound so you must see what is written their right? Science fiction movies aren’t exaggerating when showing viewers the end of the generation every year.
While I was reading about the topic I watched videos interviewing former employees and shocking surprising comments that come to our minds instantly “why they left the company?” The reason was not about the salary or environment or even work pressure. The reason was “we decide to rethink what we have made and wisely to fix what we’ve done to society”. The only description to explain the reason in my opinion is by this example, “the guy who programmed YouTube recommendation told users to use unti-recommendation plug-ins”. Moreover, they punish their children if they use social media it’s not just a habit it’s a general rule “never ever let lower than 18 years to use social media platforms”. No comments…
My best recommendation I would recommend you to do is:
You don’t have to delete your social media accounts “although it’s a superb choice “you should turn off the notification”. Besides, “uninstall all social media apps, yes you can” and you can stay free for the rest of your life in case you would like to be a human. Believe me, you can stay in touch with society as well.
