I agree partially with the view. No doubt social media is causing a distraction. But, it depends on the type of members, friends, groups we chose on the social media.
Sharing some news item of the NYT is not a waste of time and it is not also reading it. Only, important news will be shared. How much time one spends on the Internet is also a point of concern as it depends on your areas of interests. If you are interested in DIY projects you will definitely go through it and share it. If you are interested in Woodworking it is not a waste to read the information relating to various skills. Similarly, to know about various dresses and fashions.

This is not a waste of time.

Sometimes, important information, social gathering of friends, meeting, get-together etc., are shared which is necessary for everyone to know about the moment of your social circle.

It is a waste of time if one goes on reading each and every post living in a hallucination. Read as fast as possible, share if necessary or leave it. Comment if necessary on a post otherwise leave it. Go through the posts of your friends and try to comment if they are really having any stuff. But, most of the people waste their on FB unnecessarily not allocating certain time for each and every category. This is waste of time.

They do not share what their friends and relative has posted but evince interest on the posts written by someone who is not concerned with him at all in a social gathering. This will definitely hurt and damage the social relationship.

Sometimes, people will be spending time reading the comments. There will not be anything just they post something very irrelevant or filled with provocative photos. It is necessary to spend time or offer comments on them. I do not think so. Try to share as much information as possible from your friends. Is it necessary to share a photo/videos that distract the attention of others and provokes one religion against the other? As a civilized person, there is no need to share it at all on the social media. Read only those posts which are unique and useful. Do not comment where there is no need and you have nothing to do.

Whether it is social media or any regular site, do spend some time on it with a definite amount of time say 2 or 3 hrs. But, not more than that.

Every social media site should be allotted a certain amount of time only and the job must be finished in the time prescribed for yourselves. Otherwise, this may certainly be a waste of time spending on social media sites.

not all the socil media aare good, some are nonsense and do not help in anything and do not bring you views

I think that social media is a great way to network with other people and businesses. It depends on how you use your time on social media. If you are just on Facebook, looking at your news feed and replying to posts, that may be a waste of time if it is excessively done but all of those commenting on posts and reading posts may also serve as a helpful tool for some as well. I find it to be kind of therapeutic. I have also found some of my long lost family and friends on social media, so it is not a total distraction fro actual life. I dont think any kind of computer use, excessively, is healthy but it also depends on the person. I think what takes most of our time is people and their need for us, at least that’s my experience with why I don’t get much time to myself.

Your posting is good and its some how give ideas, but being inperfect is good not harsh, and its so easy to accept if you are grow up knowing that, I mean I like to do things in perfect way, but I am happily says that I am not perfect, the other part of your post the book ending will that I didnt try

This time I am still using Firefox but already upgraded , why because I have not memorized nor wrote my passwords in my pocket note. I am still browsing about the password of my account here.I agree to you that Chrome is faster than Firefox.

The bottom line is what you think and not what other people think. That’s why it is very important for someone to have wisdom, because that is what is going to direct your footsteps in everything you do. We all have a mind of our own, when someone tells you something, do you just go ahead and do whatever they tell you to do? I guess not. If you know what is right then you will think about what you are told and weigh your options. You will then decide whether to take it in or not. In life there are many advicers people will tell you all sorts of things but it will be up to you to make a decision or a choice. Because not everyone who advices you has a good motive towards your life. Others may give you advice that will ruin you instead of building you up so people really need to be careful with the people they are dealing with on a daily basis.

@Mahesh, Very nice blog, so realistic, and it did happen to me having unemployed ex and it turned me off because every time we dined, it was my money spent for the payment of the foods.Then I told him if he can find a job considering that he was a graduate of an economics course in a university.He said that he cannot find a job I said how come you have a degree.So to make the story short, I made a final decision to break our relationship.It turned me off having a boyfriend like a leech. He cried but his tears cannot convince me.I said enough is enough, Thanks for letting me recall my ex and bad feelings for him being jobless through this blog.

Saying no is a weakness to so many people. You will find people having a hard time telling someone no for fear of being rejected or being told off, but the thing is rejection doesn’t mean that you cannot move on. I remember i used to be that type of a person who saying no was not in my vocabulary most of the time. I always used to feel like I am being too hard on soneone , but as days went by I learnt that saying no is not a bad thing it’s just part of life. When I got a job I always wanted to be told things clearly so that I will not crash with anyone or have misunderstandings. B3cause whenever a misunderstanding came about people would obviously take advantage of others. It’s at such times I would stand my ground and say no to certain things, otherwise I would end up doing someone else’s job because I fear saying no. In some instances you may find your siblings or even friends expecting you to do for them favors even when you can’t, and when you don’t do them they start criticizing you. It’s okay for them to critize just remember that you are human and on the right to say no it’s only natural.

Lots of people tout the benefits of sharing your blog post links via Quora but I’m not very active at Quora. If it works it works. But on the rare occasions when I do pop in at Quora, I’m usually looking for information and not providing answers. 🙂 That’s been my experience. I have actually used the Quora blogging platform. It’s OK but doesn’t suit my purposes.
