Facebook, Instagram and Wassap brouhaha 🤣🤣🤣 04/10/2021.
"Social media use is rapidly growing among adolescents and the entire world as a whole, studies cite that the rate of "constant use" doubled from 2015 to 2018 (Anderson & Jiang, 2018; Lenhart, 2015).
Social media use can have a serious negative impact on areas of well-being including feelings of depression, anxiety, fear of missing out, body image, bullying, and sleep.
Mojtabai, Olfson, and Han (2016) cite the problematic use of mobile phones and social media applications as one of the trends aligning with the increase in major depressive episodes. Conversely, the use of social media can promote positive feelings of well-being including creating a sense of community, providing access to needed health information, helping create new relationships and maintain existing ones, and offering a platform for self-expression and creation of self-identity.
The above stands are confirming to what emerged (i.e the outage) of yesterday to Instagram, Facebook, and Wassap users. It's a signal for us to look at alternatives vis-a-vis our communication. I restarted my phone several times and even further on purchasing airtime for internet bundle/data because I surmised I was out of internet bundle and the funny part was, I was feeling empty and missing out for the whole of the day. God serve our generation".
I was asking friends whether they had received whatsapp messages like say every 5 minutes
ReplyDeleteI thought the problem was from my service provider.
