Opinions on Addiction to Technology (Ya Ting Chang)

I think students are addicted to the social media like Facebook, Twitter, MSN, MySpace, and so on. It gradually becomes a more and more serious problem in the whole world.

Firstly, it hurts students’ health because they spend too much time on social media, especially on Facebook. There are many defects:
(1) It damages their eyes health.
(2) They don’t have enough sleep.
(3) They will get neck and shoulders pain easily.

Secondly, many teenagers and students just don’t have enough maturity to realize the seriousness troubles that they have made on internet. For example, some improper words or pictures shouldn’t be posted. Sometimes, it would influence a youth’s life just because of unsuitable comments or opinions.

Moreover, by playing with social media, students get fewer chances of real communication with other people. It decreases young people’s ability on social personal relationships. It also reduces their time spending on other good activities or sports.

By the degree of addiction on social media, I think students have less power as consumers. They are at a weak side because they don’t have the consciousness and judgements on using social media properly and suitably.
