#it’s #time #ban #media #life #people #world #politics #self-image #spread #disinformation #experiment #goodbye
As technology has developed, more and more
people
 tend to be dependent on their devices. According to a survey, 80% of
people
 over the world can not live without their phones and nearly 70% of
people
 are spending above 4 hours per day on social
media
. That incredible numbers represent real states of affairs with several problems to face. Social
media
 drives
people
 to bad situations, from politics to self-image, to the spread of disinformation, and even worst. “It is a social experiment that has not worked and it is time to say goodbye”. I agree with
this
 statement and the essay below will explain more details about my option. On the street, not hard for us to see a random person walking without observation but staring at their phone. In the coffee shop, many
people
 only stare at their phones and miss out on their conversation, less face-to-face activities.
People
 are being addicted to and obeyed social
media
, they forget the real value of life, immerse themselves in fake social where they are not themselves any longer. What attract
people
 so much? Harmful images, information is destroying a whole generation. Little kids are infected with violent videos, overage scenes, and bad thinking. By staying inside, the number of
people
 causing dangerous illness
such
 as obesity, disable, poor intellectual development,… Young
people
 are running out of money due to the luxury race. They try to show themselves to
people
 that they don’t even know on social
media
, posting mistaken living standards through fancy check-in pictures.
This
 addiction to social
media
 needs to be banned right away. We could not let our future be ruined. If not, we have to figure out another solution to fix
this
 situation.
