Social Media and Electronic Devices

Social media and electronic devices have positive and negative effects. The positive effects of social media and electronic devices are that we get faster information just by touching your smartphone, by seeing it on TV, listing to the radio or etc. We know use electronic devices for pretty much everything for example; in school, taking pictures, the office, and etc. In some point in the day, we going to use an electronic device. The negative effects of social media and electronic devices are that we spend a lot of time in social media or an electronic device. The consequences that we spend a lot of time on social media or an electronic device are that we sleep late, don’t interact with people. In the article, it said that “We are diminishing the scope of interaction even as we multiply the number of people with whom we interact. We remove or drastically filter all the information we might get by being with another person. We reduce them to some outlines - a Facebook ‘Friend,’ an Instagram photo, a text message- in a controlled and sequestered world that exists largely free of the sudden eruptions or encumbrances of actual human interaction. We become each other’s contacts, efficient shadows of ourselves.” This is the major effect.  We have social media that many of us we have to check, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and much more. Just to know what is happening outside we don’t want to mess anything. Especially the teenagers are more addicted to looking at social media. In my personal usage of electronic devices is that I don’t use it that much. I only use electronic devices when I’m bored. I’m mostly busy all the time put when I have time I do watch TV, Computer, or in my phone mostly on my phone. I pretty much use more times my phone that any other electronic devices. I check my social media on my phone mostly every time because I fell more confident seeing on my phone. The social media that I use and I have in my phone are Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube, Pinterest, and etc. In my opinion, I’m more positive than negative, because I don’t use a lot my phone or other electronic devices because I get bored really easily. I just use an electronic device when I did them for school or anything important. Those are the positive and negative effects of social media and electronic devices.
