Social media, good or bad?


Spending too much time on social media is not doing good for me. I feel like they're eating my brain out bit by bit. This is bad. It might cause me a brain damage :/

Whatever I read on Facebook or Twitter can be helpful sometimes as there are a lot of informations shared. And I would do my research from what I read, so its basically good for my own knowledge.

But there are certain things I see that bothers me a lot. People are becoming (or have become) less productive these days. They feel like sharing everything they do in their everyday life. Sometimes they share the most common and typical things. For example, pictures of food. Like, thats what we do everyday. We eat. It has become a common thing in our society today to share a picture of our lunch. I don't just get to see food served on my dining table, but also on my timeline on other people's table.

Another one is, making speculations. There are 15 different stories on one particular subject. But I guess we don't need Facebook for that. People do it on daily basis too haha, but having social networks these days worsen it. It makes the sharing a lot easier. And the news travel as fast as Bolt. Everyone is CNN nowadays. I don't know which one to believe. I would never accept anything completely unless it is confirmed by much more reliable sources and not just by some random posts you see. We all should.

Everything we do will benefit us if we take it the right way. So make it right. Social media is a great medium for us to share things, I won't deny that. Make sure its something useful and beneficial for all of us. Or something funny to make us laugh. Laughing is good. Its never wrong for that. I'm writing this on my blog. Which is a channel for me to connect to you guys. We express our thoughts. Freedom of speech aye? But I don't think freedom of speech gives you the right to speculate things.

My point is that, being too much on the social networks doesn't do me any good. So I need to keep working on spending less time here. It gives me headache too. My eyes need some rest! and some nature green colour :))

I'm at home now for a 3 months semester break so I basically have nothing to do. I haven't set my mind straight of what to focus on. I've been helping my sister with her baking a little bit, and slowly learning and might start baking on my own too hehe.

I kinda feel useless right now to be honest. Like I used to wake up early in the morning everyday for classes and I got to see my friends and went out and I always had works and projects to concentrate on. Somewhat I miss it hmm. I complain about my assignments the whole timeee but now that I don't have anything to do...... Well, absence makes the heart grow fonder :P   I'm sure I'll start complaining again when a whole bunch of tasks are thrown at me.


I HAVE ABOUT 2 MORE MONTHS FOR THE NEW SEMESTER TO STAAAARTTT
