This article is specifically about the media, and its use of social media, but I also feel that it also has some applications on the limits to technology in the classroom as well.

The opening statement of this article is enough to prove that social media is in fact addicting. Earlier this year, a study found that social media is more addicting than alcohol and cigarettes. I liked reading this article because it focused on very similar information to many of the modules I completed throughout this semester. It discuses how the problem lies in over-reliance on social networks, obsession with them, and over-dependency. It also discusses how social media use at a young age is certain to lead to an addiction. I think that us as individuals, should consider using social media networks much less than we do everyday. I think it would bring back old ways of society, like strict face-to-face interactions rather than typing through a screen. Unfortunately, it is not likely that social media usage will decrease any time soon. In fact, I believe social media use will only increase from here on out, let’s just hope we can find more positive aspects to incorporate with it’s usage.
