tell others about their life,
what they ate, what they own, where they went and so on.
Does reading other's instagram makes you happier?
Does the number of likes really matters?
There are researh shows that using social media can actually bring harm to user.
In this article, the social media can bring depression and low self-esteem to users like children and teens.
We'll unconsciously compare our life with others.
Now people are more concern on how many likes they'll get on facebook or instagram instead of how many books they've read annually.
What will happen to the world then?
I foresee a world, with people not knowing who is David Cameron, Dale Carnegic, Confucius, George Washington, etc, but concern only with latest fashion, fine food, luxury possession, entertainment.
In the future, if these peoples becomes majority of the society, nation, world,
You know the people who becomes the authority/famous/success will be very powerful.
As many people nowadays don't think and use their logical thinking ( from what I see on Facebook, ex. the opposition party posted something and most follower chose to believe without even check if it is a fact or manipulated news )
They tend to follow what other says/ do , and they'll think that go with the flow is correct.
It is very dangerous when one don't have his own stand / thought, do not have critical thinking, and do not question/doubt.
Thus they might be easily manipulated and becomes the puppet and tool of wicked people.
So..
Quickly pull yourself out from this fatal quick sand!
Quickly pull yourself out from this fatal quick sand!
Or..
Balance your time between social media and life and starts to indulge yourself in more productive activity!
PS. There is another article I've read recently which I think not bad.

I think I'm prone to Insta danger! Instagram is quite addictive =p And yes you are right, social media is highly influencing one's daily life. We do care a lot about our postings on Instagram/FB/Blog and hoping that loads of people will see and like it instead of thinking how should be improve ourselves intellectually. Sad to say, I'm probably one of them.
Its never too late to start fresh. :)
And I have to admit that I'm prob one of them too (Facebook). The social media itself brings no harm but is the user's attitude. I think the key is to balance it with our life instead of fb/insta/twitter 24/7 and life have so much yet to discover.
