Social Media Effects in

Leisure Activities

    Since social media appeared, humanity has changed the ways to spend their free time. Some people have taken this as a way to inspire themselves to develop new things, create new hobbies, and connect with people around the world. For instance,using social media to watch movies but at the same time learning a language could be a positive change. On the other hand, there exist some negative changes as sedentarism and wasting of time as a result of the bad use of this tools; to illustrate, some people tend to spend hours just surfing on internet and chatting with others; this happens every time they are free or just bored, and this creates an addiction for them; sometimes you can be around them talking about an important thing, but their attention will be on their devices at any social media that are involved. Indeed, social media has created another perception on leisure activities, as not going out with friends, laying down on bed all day, and not having real communication with others.
