Speech on Social Media-An addiction
Answers
Answer:
Good morning everyone present; I am going to expatiate on a topic that is related to almost all of us. I am going to express my views on ‘Media Addiction and Its Impact’. ‘Social media and networking sites such as Facebook , Instagram, Youtube, Twitter, etc. have become source of major distractions for students. Young boys and girls seem to have become inordinately addicted to these sites. They are thoughtlessly and uselessly wasting their precious time on these sites.
Wise people say time well utilized is time well spent, but the youth of today is only and only wasting time on chatting, messaging, uploading photographs and modifying profiles. The smart phones and 4G connections have made the situation worse. Accessing such sites has become so easy that young boys and girls are using these sites almost everywhere and almost all the time. Similarly they wait for their favourite TV programs with such intense longing! The following questions need to be answered: ‘Where will this lead to? Are we heading towards only Facebook and Twitter perfection? Where are the objectives of attaining the status of an advanced country?’
There are so many challenges that we as a nation face. Challenges, such as population, poverty, unemployment, corruption, pollution, mismanagement of our natural resources, etc. Is it not a pathetic attitude of our youth to lose such objectives out of sight and instead waste their time, money and energy on such social networking sites so recklessly? Will Facebooking, Whatsapping, Twittering, Instagraming, Youtubing, etc. solve our national problems?
Students these days appear to be more worried about connecting to their friends on Facebook than being concerned about doing their studies, assignments and projects! The other major disadvantage of the increasing use of such networking sites is the spread of obscenity. This is having a very negative impact on the impressionable minds of our young children and leading them astray. Sitting in front of the screen for long hours also affects their health adversely in many ways.
The parents, teachers and the government must look into the problems being caused by these networking sites and must formulate a strategy either to curb or completely stop its fast growing negative influence on the minds of our youth. Our youth is the future of our nation. We cannot allow this youth to waste their precious time in doing the Facebook. The same time must be spent on studying, researching and developing leadership or other life-skills. It is our moral duty as well as responsibility to lead our youth on the right path. Efforts should be made in making our youth, especially the school students, aware of the disadvantages of such social networking sites. The concerned government authorities should make and implement some strict regulatory checks on the functioning of such networking sites in our country. Only with concerted efforts of parents, teachers and the government, this problem of addiction of our youth to networking sites can be removed.
Answer: Good morning one and all present here. Today I'm going to carpet my views on the topic-'Social media- an addiction
Social media is one of the most common names we all are familiar to. Social media has become an integral part of our every day life. Everything we do in a day is directly or indirectly accociated with social media. Either using internet web sites, messaging applications or other social media platforms like facebook, whatsapp etc. Every person ranging from elders to children use one or the other social media sites.
We use social media for various purpose like interacting with our friends, checking updates or to know about current affairs and useful hacks for everyday life. In short, social media makes our lives easier.
Besides the various advantages,social media comes out to be a serious problem. Here's why. There's nothing wrong in using it, the problem arises when one uses social media unnecessarily and gets addicted to it. People, on an average, spend 50 to 60 minutes each day using social media which is in fact, more than the average time they spend in reading or exercise. Due to social media, people spend less time with their family and friends as they just stay connected to their phones. It also leads to obesity and weakened eyesight. So, use social media and stay connected to the world, but not on the cost of your valuable time.
Thank you.
Explanation: Social media is one of the most helpful creation on Internet. It has provided us a new way of interacting with the world. But we are misusing it and it has become a disadvantage. So, we should minimise using social media.
