How many of you go for your mobile-first thing in the morning? You press your mobile’s power button to check your social media progress! How satisfying it is to see your video and photo trending on the social media platform. Has all of this achieved anything for you? No doubt that social media pour fame into your cup in a fair manner, which you can immensely enjoy.
As we are progressing in our age, we are getting occupied
with ineffectual social media tasks. We keep ourselves glued to our mobile
phone that we forget our life is also exhausting simultaneously with our mobile
data pack.
We always have directed our thoughts towards the
accomplishments of social media. But we should not forget the failures of
social media.
Checking Your Mobile Again & Again
With the coming of smartphones in our hands, our focus has
shifted from ourselves to mobile. We have fully invested ourselves in our
mobile screen. Who has messaged us, and why have they not messaged us? – we
have surrounded ourselves with these curiosities.
Ease of Popularity
There is no doubt that social media offers expeditious
popularity. You have to upload your photo and video on the social platform and
witness the magic. We become delighted to see ourselves as a “social media
star”, but that admired moment wiped off easily because enumerable people are trying
to get that spot. Additionally, a social media algorithm plays a vital role in
replacing your content with someone else on the feed page.
Money Matters
You invest your time in posting a video or photo, and in
return, you are rewarded only with views, likes, and comments. But what about
the money? Social media platforms do not offer any financial assistance in any
form to their users. However, there are a few social media applications that
provide financial rewards for your activities. But it is to a minimal level.
How to Leave Social Media?
We must have heard these questions from our friends and
colleagues that – is it easy to leave social media? Can I shut down my social
profile? The answer to these questions is only one, and, i.e., Yes.
You can undoubtedly leave your social media avatar and live
a happy life. First of all, there are a few questions that you need to
understand. Does a question wonder in your mind that – what is the usage of
social media platforms?
The answer to this question has dual aspects. Social media
has its benefits, but if you see it in the long run, there are only flaws
attached to it. You get to detach from the real world and get yourself to
indulge in an imaginary world. Circumvent yourself from posting photos and
videos on the social media platform.
Follow these simple points to turn off your social media:
Avoid Posting on Social Media
Do not post everything on social media. However, if you have
achieved anything exemplary in your life and want to communicate quickly with
your family and friends, post it on social media. Otherwise, there is no
requirement to post your videos and photos on Facebook and Instagram.
Less Data Recharge
Refrain yourself from recharging an unlimited internet pack
to your mobile number. This point is that if you have an unlimited data pack,
you can surf the internet quickly and again invest your time in social media.
On the contrary, if you have less data, you will only perform your relevant
tasks.
No Phone Routine
There should be a strict rule which states that – no phone
usage during family and friends meeting. You can disallow yourself from
carrying your mobile in your pocket while attending social engagements, and
this will help augment your bonding with your family.
Buy an Old School Mobile
The best thing is to carry a mobile phone that does not
support social media applications. The only way to remain connected with your
family is through call only. Unfortunately, we have an Android or iOS mobile
phone in our pockets that supports several social platforms.
Nurture a Hobby!
Invest yourself into a hobby! Perform some art and craft,
dancing, cycling, gardening, and many more activities. You can post informative
videos about it on your social media platform, and people will learn new things
from you. Hence, you will help in educating people about a particular activity.
Social media will become important in this sense.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that social media platform is a way toconnect with your family and friends; a quick way to transfer the information
to a larger audience. But a coin has two sides, and the same applies to social
media applications. Although we have criticized the usage of social media
applications, there is no harm in using it at a moderate level. In the end, utilize
your social media account prudently and invest your time in other productive
tasks that will upgrade your skills.
