Too Much Time On Facebook
February 19, 2009
The psychologist Dr Aric Sigman has said that we all need to get off Facebook and such social networking websites and get a life. According to Sigman, the amount of time we spend with each other has dropped and this new culture is affecting our health.
Sigman reckons that the use of these sites could affect the way our immune system, genes and bodily functions work. Ultimately leading to a detrimental effect of our mental health.
Sigman said:
“Social networking is the internet’s biggest growth area, particular among young children. A quarter of British children have a laptop or computer in their room by the age of five and they have their own social networking sites, like the BBC’s myCBBC. It’s causing huge changes.”
I think that it is fair to say that we all spend too much time on social networking sites. Let’s all have some quality time with our friends and loved ones and step away from the laptop!
