It is impossible to imagine how we used to live without social networks, because it's so convenient and interesting, but in fact they have negative aspects. In an example, you can bring things that have changed because of social networks.
Social networks have become an inseparable part of the life of modern man. Many do not even notice how Facebook, Instagram and other social networks have changed many of the concepts that are now customarily looked at very differently. Do not know what you're talking about? Then we suggest to get acquainted with the opinion of authoritative scientists, telling about the impact on people of virtual networks.
1. A new type of betrayal
If before a girl, suspecting a lover of treason, trying to find women's hair on clothes, prints with a lipstick sponge or fragrance of other people's spirits, today you just need to go into the social network. Psychologists are surprised that the number of couples who quarrel because of comments, virtual correspondence and even simple husk has increased significantly. It even invented its own concept - "micro-change". In this case, experts note that there really are people who are virtually monogamous.
2. Compare your life
Thanks to social networks, people were given the opportunity to view the lives of the rich and famous. Looking at luxurious photos, people by will begin to compare their lives with adventures that are more successful. Psychologists beat the alarm, because all this can not only spoil the mood, but also cause depression.
3. Loss of reality
Social networks literally draw people's attention, so it can actually be present, but more like an object. Especially bright it can be seen in the subway, when people are absorbed in their gadgets. Scientists call this "active ignoring". The loss of reality is fraught with many problems, for example, recently one of the often voiced reasons for the divorce sounds like this: the husband / wife is constantly "sitting" in the phone.
4. Life as a reality show
There are people who live for their subscribers, collecting under the photographs of thousands of likes. For this, they constantly think about how to make a photo so that it attracts the public's attention. Sometimes this leads to risk, which is not always justified. In addition, psychologists say that such a thirst for recognition leads to the fact that a person allows other people to manage their emotions and feelings.
5. Correcting photos
Recently, a huge number of filters have appeared that help to correct possible shortcomings in the photo. Huge use of animalistic Snapchat filters, which are actively used not only by ordinary people, but also by world stars. On this account, psychologists have their own opinion, who argue that the desire to constantly adjust the appearance indicates a low self-esteem of a person.
Anxiety and plastic surgeons also beat us, who told us that more and more people are asking them to make them the same face as the retouched photo. People cease to see dignity in themselves and concentrate on shortcomings, which is reflected in all life.
6. Working moments
People sit in social networks not only in their free time, but also in the workplace. At the same time, statistics show that companies worldwide are losing millions of dollars because of this. Some corporations even impose fines for employees who like to err on the net, rather than fulfill their job duties.
7. Personal life for show
Many people on social networking sites can see shared photos with their beloved, where people shine with happiness and show their warm feelings. At the same time, one can often hear the expression that "happiness loves silence," and scientists agree with this. They are sure that a public statement about their happiness in their personal lives testifies to the contrary.
Psychologists believe that the more a person doubts about his lover, the more he needs positive approval from others, which is easy to get in social networks. In addition, experts argue that the stronger a person seeks to make a beautiful photo with a lover, the less he gives him real attention, which causes problems in the relationship.
8. Imperceptible manipulation
Many popular public relations for creating excitement can publish unverified information that is distributed over the network. As a result, people take for a lie. As an example, you can find information that a popular drink of Coca-Cola is actually green and it is additionally painted, but it's not. Representatives of the company even had to publish on their website an official refutation of these rumors.
9. Concealed Conviction
A kind of hobby for many people is the love to talk about the lives of others, and in a negative way. With the advent of social networks, this became possible at any time and in any place. The conducted surveys showed that many people, while looking through the pages of other users of the social network, feel irritation and anger at the same time. Experts believe that this is all due to the fact that people do it in order to extol oneself by suppressing others.
10. Great writers
If a few years ago people read books or at least magazines, now bloggers are in fashion. People write on different topics and in most cases the articles can not be considered a kind of reference point, since this is more a personal opinion of a person who can be supported or not.
Scientists conducted a study analyzing the posts of many bloggers, and they came to the conclusion that many texts traced narcissism and even the imposition of their opinions. It can not be dismissed that some bloggers share really useful information. What will end this contradictory position of newfangled writers is unknown.
11. The new labor market
Thanks to the Internet, people received a huge number of new professions, which are highly paid. An example is the popular IT field. At the same time, experts believe that this is not the limit, because soon there will be professions related to social networks. For example, they will be cyber-investigators, who will search for criminals who steal information. The labor market is waiting for new and interesting changes, and this is a plus.
