Greetings everyone!
I trust everyone is fine today. It is a good thing that I start by acknowledging the impact of the internet on this current generation. Without the help of the internet, the development we experience today won't be there. The creativity a lot of people showcase today will be dwindled to a particular group of people, but the internet has made publicity easy for everyone, easing communication by cutting down the cost of sending direct text messages. There is no need to be charged four naira for every message sent and being limited to the number of words an individual can send.
One can easily send a bulky message with not even a megabit. If the importance of the internet is to be discussed, a lot of points will be drawn out, even from the little things we didn't expect. Despite all these things, the internet's importance has been misunderstood by some certain groups of people who see the current innovation in a different dimension. This dimension can be seen as being addictive. Before discussing further, I will be sharing my chatting experience.
My chatting experience.
As highlighted in hive learner's contest announcement, chatting is a regular thing for almost everyone. Why am I saying almost? it is because there are still some groups of individuals who don't see any importance in chatting via social media. Some wish they could, but because of age and other factors, they can not engage in it. Some of the factors are; not being able to access the internet by not being able to use Android phones and computers. Most of our parents may fall under this category.
I will say my experience chatting through social media has affected my life positively and someone affected my life negatively.
Chatting on social media has helped me establish good relationships with people I never thought we will ever have any reasonable conversation.
Chatting through social media has kept me updated in different aspects of life, such as in my academic pursuit, business and recreational purposes. It was through chatting that I got aware of a particular hospital that there was still a vacancy and that helped me secure a space to carry out my industrial training.
Seeing some of these benefits, there is one specific negative impact chatting has on the society which is......
Time consuming
This is where addiction plays. If boundaries are not properly set, it may result in other circumstances that will not be easily resolved.
