Hello everyone !
I am suppose to take a stand on whether or not this research is good for society and the pros and cons of it. Well my problem with doing so is the whole idea that there sadly is a need for the study at all. Addiction comes in so many forms and we are fed to believe that no matter what the addiction is ......Addiction = bad !
While in more than I care to count ways addictions are usually with negative effects . Suggesting that one can be so addicted to social media that they display mannerisms similar to that of a person withdrawing from drugs is very unsettling . My take on addiction when having negative effects is simply a sign of someone allowing themselves to be weak minded and therefore I find it difficult to empathize in these cases. I can't live without oxygen . I cannot live without food and water . I am pretty sure our ancestors lived on very little more . So with the added luxury's we have in our everyday lives . It is important that no matter how enjoyable convient or addicting anything is it is important to stay grounded in the idea of your were jus fine before Facebook so it's very likely you would be just fine without it. While this is a concept that can produce alot of pros and cons. I have one pro to list and that is. " With social media google and so on youth at a way younger age to now has access to so many outlets of information and so on that they would never had access to 25 years ago or less even. There is information that can be reached and info about almost anything so really this should be a generation or the most well informed and enlightened and educated human beings . The one con I have .... Sadly it isn't .
