But if this time further increases to 2 to 5 hours than I think that is not good. It's a simple logic - an excess of anything is harmful - if children are on social media spending whole day long on it than its quite obvious its going to affect them in a number of ways and some of them I'm outlining it as follows:-</p>\n<p>- Facilitates laziness - all day long on the mobile and internet could mean the children are not going out for fitness activities and this could lead to being lazy and further gaining those extra kilos. This could also cause a problem in eyesight because of the rays emitted by cell phones.</p>\n<p>- Reduces family closeness - being on social media most of the time kids tend to forget about what's happening in the family and often forget important dates i.e. birthday of parent and close relatives. At times they get so engaged on social media that they are not willing to go out with family for an outing or family dinner or a function that needs to be attended.</p>\n<p>- Causes distraction - the kids are so busy on the social media that they and their friends start comparing themselves with each other, wondering who has more Facebook friends or Twitter followers. As a result what really ends up happening is that the children begin to talk less and end up relying on text for a conversation.</p>\n<p>- Feel disconnected when having a face-face communication - children when on social media most of the time - what normally tends to happen that you are talking to them and it may seem that they are listening but ideally they are not as they are busy in their social media world. This has really become a big concern nowadays amongst the kids wherein - they don't value the face to face communication due to being very busy on social media.</p>\n<p>There are positive aspects as well which I'm not going to get into many details. Some of them are like:- enhance knowledge as to what is going around in the world, great networking platform, fun if used in limits and many more. But it drills down to using social media to an extent where it doesn't start affecting your daily life and doesn't interfere with your family matters. Will end on a side note - ALL is good if done in limits.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3eq7l9d5","appParentAuthor":"bolanleadi","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
