SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE DANGEROUS

TECHNOLOGY is impressive! It keeps us in touch and updated on what is happening in and around the world via social media. Many people spend their lives on this platform, sharing their thoughts, pictures, videos and locations.

Social network addiction refers to someone spending too much time on social media. The internet is a powerful platform where people live out their fantasies and advertise their “lives”. But having your life, pictures and thoughts on display leaves you vulnerable to:

1 Cyber bullying or non-consensual distribution of intimate pictures

2 Revenge porn

3 Digital kidnapping – if your pictures and videos are reused without your permission.

Social media is a great space to network and socialise but it is important that you do not get consumed into a world of make-believe and end up losing focus and forgetting who you are. Before posting anything on these networks think about the possible outcomes.

Benefits of being offline:

  • More time to focus on you
  • Doing real things that matter
  • Focusing more on the relationships in your life.

When you limit unnecessary distractions you have the freedom to invest in yourself and upgrade your reality. #plscallme083 323 [email protected]
