The truth is that I have been attracted to social networks and I recognize that I have dedicated a large part of my time to them. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook developer said in an interview that people felt the need to know what others did and that similarly these same people wanted to share what they did at a certain time.
It is a fact that behind social networks there is a large study of psychology, oriented to understand what each person thinks, their behavior, tastes, among others. This has been the basis for the development of the algorithm responsible for showing the news section of this social network mentioned above.
The feeling of gratification or pleasure to consume visual content related to our tastes generates a kind of addiction and by not receiving these stimuli you have the same need for any other addiction, it is imperative to take the pc and check social networks in order to feel satisfied .
In the same way I have noticed this behavior in the gamer community, personally in previous years to have a job, I used to spend whole days playing online games, known as MMORPG and the truth at that time was a way to disconnect from reality , but little by little I was leaving behind that behavior that even took me away from my family or friends.
The truth is that I do not feel anything wrong in spending a few hours in an activity that helps us to distract ourselves for a moment from all that daily routine, what if it is true is that limits must be established and not exaggerated in the time devoted to social networks or a video game and spend time sharing with other people.
