Online Presence /Personal observation /
Using social media is a new trend and in fact it has become an extension to human’s daily life. In the old times, humans used to either go to their friend’s and family’s houses or go to café, park, etc… to meet, mingle with each other. As life became challenging and with the rapture of the internet, people no longer have time freedom for social engagement. We have witnessed the old trend of meeting face-to-face fading away.
Humans have developed the feeling that through posting, following, talking, and seeing over the different social media platforms, that their relationship is maintained. Some even argue that they have got an array of opportunities to meet, collaborate with people from the globe.
Today, I would like to single out its negative effect and would like to say a few words. From my observation, I am seeing people being married to social media. I am not saying this despising marriage. It is the best social relationship that God has created for humans and for those who chose to be in it.
In my opinion, for this generation, social media has become an idol, water, and air to some. People are attached to their phone's main reason being they have a piece of handheld equipment that gives them access to social media. The young generation is always wondering about what people would say in the comments section and how many likes they are getting after a single online post. The same group of people is taking pictures with the main aim to post online seeking for attention by many.
Where is this excessive self-conscious attitude heading? How much time is the youth spending on learning, researching, and proposing a solution for the uncountable problems that we are facing in the world?
The social media boom is taking an unacceptable amount of productive time from this generation. We all have a role to play to educate others, to teach the youth to start fasting from it, evaluate priority and most of all learn the discipline to be social human, a social human that uses modern tools in moderation reminding that personal & physical relationship is precious.

Using social media is a new trend and in fact it has become an extension of people's daily lives. In the old days, humans used to either go to their friend’s and family’s houses or go to cafés, parks, etc… to meet, mingle with each other. As life became challenging (maybe "busier" is closer to what you want to say?) and with the rapture (maybe "revolution" or another word is better here? Rapture is normally used for a religious experience) of the internet, people no longer have time for social engagement. We have witnessed the old trend of meeting face-to-face fading away.

Today, I would like to single out the negative effects of social media. Based on my observation, I am seeing (as you just said "based on my observation", you don't need to say "I am seeing" as well) people being married to social media. I am not saying this to deprecate marriage. It is the best social relationship that God has created for humans and for those who choose to be in it.

The social media boom is taking away an unacceptable amount of productive time from this generation. We all have a role to play to educate others, to teach the youth to start having time away from social media, evaluate our priorities, and most of all learn the discipline to be a social being who uses modern tools in moderation and remembers that personal & physical relationships are precious.
