Hi Steemians! Technology is a useful tool in the right hands and with a well-attuned mindset, but most people do not know how to utilize technology to the best of their own interest, damaging their mental health as a result of this collective human ignorance. ![image2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWrGgF2PokfhtikniBzg6DBZMnCW5JTWeVkJZLPygzzt6/image2.jpg) img src

Internet space is an offspring of advancements in technology. Official statistics indicate that more than half the population of the world use internet as a means for communication and business. If we take a closer look at the phenomenon, it is not that bit of a stretch to conclude that even after all these years, internet and social media are still peculiar wonders of technology. At a particular point in history, our culture was hit by a wave of technological advancement that no one was remotely prepared for. Even more so, one could go so far as to suggest that internet holds in itself an unnatural amount of power and source of potential, therefore making it a questionable addition to our lives. If someone were to tell you that the amount of time you spend on Twitter or any other social media is affecting you in unreasonable ways, even though you enjoy your time there and might feel addicted to it, how would you respond? ![image4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRF1xYkefSZwtuhGQp9QwqGodjGfqNWc4Tv2F3FavABPi/image4.jpg) img src

Individual human interaction in the physical reality of texture and senses has been reduced as a result of social media and its grasp on our identity. Social media gives you the power to stay in touch with a lot more people than you could if you were to utilize the old-fashioned ways, but that real rush of adventure and feeling has been replaced by a virtual space that is merely a pale shadow of true reality. Social media increases our need for attention. These websites give you a glamorous stage of the entire world and its population, regardless of their education and knowledge, their priorities and mindsets, and their true state of mental health. Sending or posting different statuses and moods on the social media has turned into a destructive habit for a lot of people. Privacy can sometimes be forced to a position of absolute redundancy. As a result, most of our youth focus on being the stars of this glamorous stage, rather than taking actual pride from working hard on things that would be beneficial to their character and their life. ![image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVuHWGRMT68yfQz9X8DpjyucHQSVUhwsAWZV3hhS24R97/image1.jpg) img src

Studies show that people who are addicted to social media are more prone to mental illnesses in the depression department. These people are exposed to a whole lot of people every day and literally experience what they go through and how they choose to deal with it. That level of emotional attachment and exposure can sometimes lead to dangerous pitfalls, more so when you consider the fact that most of these emotions are empty at their core and have no value of reality in the virtual space of social media. Immense exposure to social media can also be a fast way of killing your inner creativity. Surfing through endless pages of other people’s profiles and stories can be the same as thoughtlessly sitting in front of the TV and wasting hours watching programs with no sense of awareness and consciousness. In this state, the human mind has no space to evolve and grow with the foundation of new ideas and interesting thoughts. This will effectively turn your mind into a blunt and useless instrument. As we said earlier, more than half of the world’s population have an active presence in different social media platforms. When you are an addict of such platforms or spend a lot of time using them, you are exposed to a whole lot of different people. Rich and poor. Old and young. Successful and miserable. Seeing yourself as a reflection in the mirror of all these people can eventually lead to a sense of emptiness and nihilistic outlook on life. ![image3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYj1ykpbdXxPT8GjQZrAys94nRwu5f73kQwYX7VWeVR8e/image3.jpg) img src

All of our arguments above are not to say that you should abandon the internet and utterly reduce your presence in any form of social media. What we are saying, though, is that maybe it is time to take a look at the amount of time that we spend every day looking at a small digital screen and mistaking it for actual reality. Every phenomenon is a tool in the brilliance of bright minds. Technology and internet are also tools that can be effectively utilized in a journey towards a better life.
