What you need to know:

  • It has become a culture, affecting school performance of many young adults.
  • Of the world’s 7.75 billion people, some 5.19 billion are mobile phone users.

We have become slaves to technology, especially social media. Some machines are even performing jobs meant for people. 

Social media has made many young people lazy. Many of us wake up in the morning, unplug our devices from the charging system and go straight to social media. We do this before praying, brushing our teeth and having breakfast.
