This problem is affecting children, youth and the elderly, causing negative effects on the productivity and functionality of the country.
We are talking about the influence of social media here. According to a report, there are about 100 million smartphones users in India. There are more than 37 crore accounts on Facebook and more than 30 crore on Instagram. On average, a person spends 5 to 5.5 hours per day on the smartphone screen. This means that a person who works for 48 hours in the office also spends 35 to 38 hours on the smartphone at the same time.
Most of this time goes to watch reel on social media or see the lifestyle of others. It is a matter of thinking that a person is sacrificing what things to spend 5 hours out of 24 hours on smartphones and social media. Today we will try to understand how the pressure to stay online is making us alone and how this digital world is increasing our responsibilities.
In the last 20 years, technology has made an important place in every person’s life. 4G and 5G Internet have eliminated the distance between home and office. Employee is physically present in the office, but he is also digitally active. In this situation, there is always pressure to solve online problems.
Suppose someone sent a message to WhatsApp. As soon as the double tick is seen, the front person understands that the message has been read and he immediately wait for the answer. This accountability is associated with micro performance, causing people to mentally tired. Due to this online pressure, many people are losing themselves.
The pressure to stay online is forcing the youth to face mental fatigue at the age of 35-40. In such a situation, it is necessary that a digital culture should be developed, in which every person decides how long he has to stay online. Companies should also ensure that their employees are mentally healthy.
Can they not be given an opportunity to stay offline 10-15 days a year? With this they will be able to remove their mental fatigue. Nowadays, most jobs require long -term stay online, which negatively affects mental health.
Social media has put people into a new kind of reality, where they see their life less by looking at the lifestyle of others. It is causing inferiority and dissatisfaction. People forget their reality by seeing the reel life of others.
This is not only affecting mental peace, but also causing a rift in family relationships. Social media has promoted the trend of showing and comparison, making relationships artificial.
In today’s time, social interaction opportunities are decreasing. We need to understand how to reduce the pressure to stay online and strengthen family relationships. It is also necessary to protect children from the negative effects of social media.
Therefore, it is necessary that we manage our time and limit the intervention of social media.
