What are some of the addictions you have absolutely no control over? The primary one seems to be social media in most of the cases. There are people whose day starts with a selfie post and continues with posts about breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner, etc. This trend has only been on the rise over past few years. This was beautifully portrayed in a documentary drama called "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix couple of years ago.
The easy access to technology all over the world means there are both pros and cons to the same. The urge to become popular, earn name, fame and money in short time is driving people, especially youngsters in the direction of social media addictions and more. There are few people who have managed to build a career around it, the numbers are very less when compared to the people who are addicted to it. The need for success in a short span with minimum amount of work has taken over in the past decade in many forms.
This trend will have an adverse effect on the next generation as it continues to happen. Today, you see that many kids of ages 5 to 12 years old are deeply addicted to mobile phones and video games. They are not even interested to play outside or do any activities out in the real world. This will push them into depression at an early age and they shall have a hard time adjusting to the real world in future. It is therefore very important to beat any sort of addictions one may have & understand the purpose of using things only when required!
