THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA FRENZY

The craze for Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc has gone to such an extent that people are celebrating festivals on social media instead of enjoying the actual moment. Their entire focus is on taking photographs and selfies. Even during get-togethers, everybody is busy on their mobile phones, either uploading selfies or busy texting, instead of enjoying the company of their family and friends. Using social media is not entirely bad, but we are over-indulging. Earlier, man was said to be a “social animal”, but now man has become a “social-media animal”. Harmandeep Singh, Amritsar
