Social
media is now part of our daily lives. A day without checking Facebook,
Twitter, and Instagram is incomplete. However, this addiction has
resulted in some disconnection with the real world. Many now rely
heavily on virtual reality for everything. They sleep, eat and drink
social media, some people even make money through social media.
But
wait a second, have you thought of what will happen if you break up
with social media? There are quite a handful of people that have closed
their Twitter and Facebook accounts and survived the heartache.
Jovago.com, Africa's No 1 hotel booking portal shares 5 rewarding things
that may happen when you sever your ties with social media.
More productivity
There
is high possibility that while working, employees will want to check
their social media profile or update it meanwhile, they have loads of
jobs piled up which they have left unattended to. This is perhaps the
reason why many businesses do not allow their employees to use social
media during work hours. If you break up with social media you will
concentrate fully on your job without any distraction.
Better relationship with families and friends
Families
and friends interactions are now restricted to social media. Although
the culture of visiting loved ones runs deep among Nigerians, social
media has largely suspended the trend. With this out of the way, you
will have a more endearing and enduring relationship with families and
friends.
No more rumour peddling
One
thing that is held against social media is the peddling of false news.
Unfortunately, false rumours travel like bushfires. The damage would
have been done before you know that it is a farce. That is why everyone
should be conscious of what they consume on social media. No social
media, no reading of false news. That is probably why the Nigerian
National Assembly wants to introduce a bill to curtail the excesses of
social media
You will be innovative
Being innovative will not be possible if you are always distracted by social media since
you can only learn so much there. But with you off the internet, your
brain will not shut down to real life issues. You will have a
well-rounded understanding of your environment, thus, over time, you
will become innovative and ideas will keep flowing non-stop like the
ocean wave.
