Social Networking: Distracting or Not?


Oh how this generation’s technology is transforming people to spend so much unnecessary time on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. It’s too time consuming but yet so addicting at the same time. There are points where I should be working on an important paper or studying for a final but yet I find myself on Facebook. There’s no real explanation of how I get there but I just do every time I open a web browser.



The point that I’m trying to make about social networking is that it’s a great way to keep in contact with each other don’t get me wrong, but it’s distracting. Whether you’re at home, work, school etc. you can find yourself on a social networking site on smartphones that the majority of the people have nowadays. Maybe it’s different for some people and I’m sure it is, maybe there are people who stay away from social networking for these reasons and I give respect to them because unless I deactivate my accounts they’re almost always in a tab on my web browser or opened in an app on my phone. So now ask yourself, social networking sites, are they distracting or not?

  1. i feel its distracting but at the same time its a valued tool that everyone seems to be on. For example facebook if you have a friend in your class and you forgot his/her number what other way can you contact someone for an assignment.
