Abstract:
The world is divided into two Paradoxes, Real world and Online which is now declared a domain. We know the advantages of Social Media , how connected we are , how easy it is to communicate however what we disregard is the unknown dark realm of the Social Media with a dynamic interface which is very engaging and addictive in nature. With the expansion of Social Media and advent Of Smart phones , our universe is in our hands and just a touch away. Screen time has increased considerably, real time has decreased substantiality , there is a false perception of anonymity, closeness , proximity and security. This leads to a lot of deviant behaviours. Outdoor activities has been replaced with Gaming consoles, VR Gismos and ever engaging Social Media. Social isolation is on the rise , there has been an increase in the mental health disorders amongst children, adolescents and adults. Social Media is now deemed as an addiction. There is a significant withdrawal, craving and dependence on Social Media, working on Rewards, surges , highs and pleasure system. The conundrum is to counter this addiction which impacts the young , impacting not only the social values but institutions affecting skill sets and endangers the societal fabric. Amongst teenagers there has been an increase in mental Health disorders by 75% in the past 2 decades. There has been relapses of Bipolar illness and Psychotic disorder due to social Isolation instigated by Cyberworld that includes gadgets , gaming , social media etc Stalking has never been easy , instead of one there are multiple targets , paranoia and delusional word has become more Elaborated fed by the addictive enchanting and enthralling world of Social Media. Our world now looks like a snapshot of George Orwell’s 1984.
