Social networks and technology develop addictions in the present day

Over the years, social networks have proved to be of great importance for a portion of the world's population, since they were established several years ago, creating a habit in the human being, becoming "essential" for many of the generations present in today's society.

Since the opening of the same was observed a radical change in the attention they received, and this resulted in the development of addictions to social networks and the technology needed to access them. It could be said that certain people label the use of social networks and technology as a way to escape from the reality they live in, but in the long run they create more insecurities and mental discomfort.

The hours of use of the networks has been increasing over time, since the content suggested by the apps is accurate, and create more dependence, as it turns out to be to the consumer's liking; currently many young people experience the symptomatology that presents an addicted person, since they are dependent and if they are deprived of networks and / or technology they experience withdrawal as in any other case of addiction.

Addiction results in creating phobias, which revolve around the fear of moving away from the networks and technology, because they create parallel lives to their reality, this makes them leave their daily activities to be immersed in the world of technology, making their vision is fixed on what happens in the networks and not in their reality, it could be said that they create a fictitious world, where they develop an interest to look like those ideals of "perfection" that are very easy to find in today's networks.

It is important that we know how to deduce if we are addicted to networks and technology, as this could make a difference in our life. An addicted person tends to displace their obligations or interests that are not part of the networks or technology, they do not want to accept their addiction, they are not willing to establish family relationships, they cannot stay away from technology, because when they do so they develop anxiety, despair and stress, another sign of addiction, is the time they dedicate to the enjoyment of them.

At present, many of the attitudes described above tend to be normalized, and they are not given due importance, which is why they increase every year.
