イメージ
  This blog is about social media addiction.       In today’s hyperconnected world, it’s become almost second nature to reach for our phones the moment we wake up—and the last thing we do before falling asleep.

MAO【SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION】 The reason why I chose this topic      I chose this topic for personal reasons. There are days when I spend nearly the whole day on my phone. Even while preparing for university entrance exams, I couldn’t stop using it. Staring at the screen for hours—especially late at night—leaves me mentally drained. I never find the right moment to stop, so I just keep scrolling without purpose. This habit often leads to anxiety, depression, or lack of sleep, and I know it’s unhealthy. I want to change, but since smartphones are essential in today’s world, it’s hard to find the right balance. What I know about it so far      I know that people of all ages—from children to adults—can struggle with social media addiction. Social media was originally meant to have a positive impact on the world, but now, with terms like “digital detox” becoming popular, many people believe that staying away from social media is actually healthier. On platforms l...
