Many people these days have an addiction to keeping up with all of their social
medias and making sure that they never miss out on a status update or photo that
is posted.
Some people have a disorder where they constantly think that they have received
a message or someone has updated their status. This leads to them constantly
checking their phones to make sure.

I think that this is a very serious issue because people have become addicted to being a
part of everyone elses life instead of focusing on their own.
People do not live for in the moment anymore, instead of just enjoying a moment they
are taking pictures so that they can post them on instagram, facebook and twitter.
INstead of thinking about how much fun the event that they are going to is going to be
they busy focusing on how to pose for their photos.
I think that we need to change the way that our generation works, obviously we arent
going to cut social media out of our lives but people need to learn when enough is
enough and when it could be harmful to themselves.
