Social media is very addictive. People both adults and the youths have taken various social media platforms by storm. Many people use social media for various purposes which include communications, fun, dating and even education.
People are posting daily on social media various things about their lives. However, despite the fact that social media helps people shape their sense of self, they don’t know that excessive involvement in social media can be harmful to their memory.
It is true social media will help you to remember various things about your life. However, when people have easily available information on the media, they tend to be forgetful which will have a negative effect on their memory. There is no need of trying to store information in your memory as you can easily store it on social media, which makes our minds stale.
In order to have a good memory, people should always keep their minds occupied with information. But today that is not the case as most people store their vital information on social media. This denies their memory the ability to grow.
It has become hard for people to recall things they have not written down or posted on social media. This clearly shows that their memories are very much dependent on social media more than its own capability to store information.
