The more we grow, the more we should learn. We begin to realize what circumstances, situations and persons are healthy for our lives and well being. we should surround ourselves with individuals and situations and places that bring out the best in us and are geared towards lifting us to new new heights. Love is meant to be good and to do good. Anything else is considered abuse.

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.
