Why You Should Spend Less Time Online
In the contemporary era, technological advancement has advanced to dictate the state of affairs and has made humans immensely dependent on it. Internet is an explicit manifestation of technological innovation which has cast detrimental impacts on society. From desecrating the social structure of interaction to shaping an elusive social circle, humans are addicted to harnessing the adverse ramifications of the internet. A wide range of society spends a significant amount of time online without pondering upon the detrimental consequences ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"RfNMbS6C","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Frick)","plainCitation":"(Frick)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":380,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/h6KbaPMu/items/WB64B8S8"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/h6KbaPMu/items/WB64B8S8"],"itemData":{"id":380,"type":"article-magazine","title":"The More Time We Spend Online, the Less Time We Spend Working","container-title":"Harvard Business Review","source":"hbr.org","abstract":"What time spent on social media does (and doesn’t) crowd out.","URL":"https://hbr.org/2013/10/the-more-time-we-spend-online-the-less-time-we-spend-working","ISSN":"0017-8012","author":[{"family":"Frick","given":"Walter"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013",10,22]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,17]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Frick). Society must refrain from spending essential time online as it initiates a vigorous addiction which causes grave consequences. The prominent harm inflicted by spending significant time online fuels anxiety, fabricates the potential mode of interaction and shapes an illusion of essential relationships.
Relationships are established and forged by spending time online and exploring friends. A vast majority of these relationships ultimately results in deception and illusion ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"LZJeYbP2","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Teens Today Spend More Time on Digital Media, Less Time Reading})","plainCitation":"(Teens Today Spend More Time on Digital Media, Less Time Reading)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":381,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/h6KbaPMu/items/FLBYY566"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/h6KbaPMu/items/FLBYY566"],"itemData":{"id":381,"type":"webpage","title":"Teens today spend more time on digital media, less time reading","abstract":"If you can't remember the last time you saw a teenager reading a book, newspaper or magazine, you're not alone.

Facebook and Whatsapp can never bless peers with intimate friends who are always there in the hour of the need. Since society spends a large amount of time online, individuals get deprived of establishing physical interaction with each other. The online presence has assumed an instrumental role and the person struggling to ensure presence is deemed unfamiliar or inclined toward distorting the relationship. Moreover, anxiety is pervasive in the contemporary era which is an explicit illustration of wasting time online. Breakups, deceptions and fallacious interaction manifest in creating unfortunate and unfamiliar circumstances which fuel anxiety among people ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"17ksR7Fg","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Bauer)","plainCitation":"(Bauer)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":384,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/h6KbaPMu/items/5B2YUEHQ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/h6KbaPMu/items/5B2YUEHQ"],"itemData":{"id":384,"type":"webpage","title":"#6 from 2016: Media (R)evolutions: Time spent online continues to rise","container-title":"People, Spaces, Deliberation","genre":"Text","abstract":"Our Top Ten blog posts by readership in 2016. This post was originally published on February 10, 2016. New developments and curiosities from a changing global media landscape: People, Spaces, Deliberation brings trends and events to your attention that illustrate that tomorrow's media environment will look very different from today's, and will have little resemblance to yesterday's. Roughly how many hours do you spend online each day? How many hours do you spend on social media? If you’re like most people, you’re are spending more and more time online, and you’re spending much of that time on social media networks. Each year, We Are Social collates key data from multiple sources to make sense of the digital and social trends affecting media and technology. Digital in 2016 is the latest report, and the following graphs illustrate data the organization obtained from the Global Web Index. GWI conducts annual interviews with 200,000 internet users across 33 markets in quarterly waves, each of which has a global sample size of 45,000 – 50,000 internet users. Amongst the 30 economies surveyed, Filipinos and Brazilians spend the most time using the internet, clocking an impressive 5.2 hours per day on average. Together with Thais, Brazilians also top the list for the amount of time spent using mobile internet, logging an average of 3.9 hours per day on their devices. Contrary to what you might expect, the Japanese and South Koreans spend the least amount of time on the internet each day, logging only 2.9 and 3.1 hours respectively. This matches previous years in which these countries have been at the bottom of the spectrum.","URL":"https://blogs.worldbank.org/publicsphere/6-2016-media-revolutions-time-spent-online-continues-rise","shortTitle":"#6 from 2016","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Bauer","given":"Roxanne"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017",1,3]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,17]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Bauer). Such perilous are the ramifications of devoting a significant amount of time to the internet. Therefore, society ought to be made aware of these consequences and urged to spend limited time online to save their mental health, establish strong relationships and cultivate the true spirits of physical interaction.
