This habit has been incredibly increasing until a new term has come to light: social media addiction. This phenomenon is becoming dramatically wide-spreading among different people of different ages. Therefore, it is of vital importance to determine the major causes of this issue.
First of which, the mentality of many people, especially the young; has been recently programmed to follow the social media anytime: during working hours, family gatherings, etc. In addition, due to the minimized number of leisure activities, the young are directed to spend most of their time on the social media. It is becoming an aspect of collective thinking (Healthy Options, n.d.).
Beside the mentality, the current lifestyle also plays a role. Most people are becoming lazy and tend to follow easily-accessed ways to enjoy themselves. So, they mostly hold their phones and iPads searching here and there over the social media to kill time, as reported by (Hilliard, 2021). For these people, going to a gym or visiting a friend is an effort-exerting routine. That is why; they tend to access the social-medial applications for enjoyment.

Even if one liked to lead a balanced life afar from social media, they would be criticized for being old-fashioned and backward. Thus, they rush to join the club of sharing life details on the social media with their friends to catch up with the trend (The WisdomPost, n.d.).

   Second, social media addiction has a negative effect, especially Teenagers,they use social media without awareness for long periods,As a result they feel lonely and lack of communication with others.  For example, if a person spends a lot of time on the Internet, it causes physical problems because she is sitting in the same position for a long time.  They may suffer from health problems such as poor eyesight and back pain.  In conclusion, social media addiction has an impact on society because it may cause isolation, so everyone should be careful about this and limit the time spent on the Internet, as the negative effects must be known and avoided. ]]> 2021-06-01 11:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/5564416/vcqc61bjr4yvspgr/wish/1575929465 Possible solutions 5564416 https://padlet.com/5564416/vcqc61bjr4yvspgr/wish/1575930662 any problem has a solution, we can solve it by looking at the problem, we can find a lot of solutions to it, and I will mention the best three solutions that I have , first, you can stop using social media by doing some activities in your life such as going to the gym or Hang out with friends or gathering with family, and secondly, you can use other things or other means of enjoyment.  You can read books, watch TV instead of electronic devices, or try a new exercise in your life like horseback riding, skiing, or traveling around the world, and the final solution I have is, if you cannot control yourself by leaving social media, then you need to organize your time.
