Pinoy's were on top social media user

As I have read this headlines with the news,I don't know what to say,but my first reaction is that I just laughed,but on the other side I'm sad,it's a mixed emotions.I don't know if we should be proud of this being on top. As I have observed a 6 years old nowadays already played a gadgets or online games.The maximum time spent for a person with their phones is 9-10 hours a day.That is really a long period of time exposing ourselves online,but that is true,I mean there are some who even exceeded with that hours. How many time did you log in your phone each day?I can't count mine too,because if I start browsing my phone,it takes me 4 hours in the morning ,and in the evening at least 2 hours,but it's a on and off because I have a lot of things to do. It will gives us a lot of side effects due to a long exposure of the radiation,we can have blurred eyes,headache,dehydration and many more,but the worst as I have heard from the news today is that,it will "shorten our life span." Well,if the maximum life span of a Filipino citizen is 70-75, 80 by grace,how can we reach this age especially the new generations if our cells were slowly dying due to radiation,hehe I don't know if I can't reach that age.Why did it decreases our life span? First of all,social media can makes us unable to make physical activities.Like we were just sitting there for how many hours,and we become sweat but due to the hotness of our hands and the cellphone is draining our body water. If a person is inactive,it will cause to some diseases like diabetes,highblood pressure and heart disease. As I have observed my daughter who is 9 years old,even if she's walking on the road,she's still dancing tiktok,and sometimes it becomes destructive with some people.That's why I decided to uninstall the app. This pandemic and lockdown is also makes us closer to social media,when we feel bored and also finding ways to earn which also can be found online. Filipinos are known to be "madiskarte sa buhay",(very resourceful).There are some certain factors why a person can be too exposed with social media.It can be for business transactions like online selling,a blogger,or connecting to a family who worked abroad. But some psychologist says that it turns out to become addiction in some aspects .Like browsing for how many hours on FB and tiktok,which become a daily habit of a user. And I think the hardest word is called "obsessed ",in social media is a hard reality to accept. Some people used social media as a form of **escaping and forgetting within a short time with their problem .Filipinos were smiling people even if we were into hard** times in life.It adds the social media using this year because also of the online class ,where the students needs to used their social media account to connect with their teachers and classmates. Filipinos also are known to be very sociable and friendly ,where in social media we can gain more friends than outside world because we have the easiest way to connect with people around the world,that's why there are some filipina women who marry a foreigner or a man from different country. I think the majority percentage of user were the teenagers since they were very active online.It serves as their voice to speak before the world through their posts and comments,it would be helpful if it's done in a right way. It can be unhealthy if we devote majority of our time to it and depriving our basic responsibility.Like a baby fall from the swing because no one watches over her,that's was not a desirable one. For me,we need to avoid of being addicted or a slave to social media platforms. As much as possible we need control and proper way of using it,because we also need that too.The thing that it can deprived our health , and makes us feel weak most of the time. From what I have observed why filipinos were into social media it's because we always want to"connect" with our family,friends and relatives around the islands and the world.Filipinos are a family oriented people ,who always check each family situations especially when there a calamity like what happened recently. Social media is very beneficial with some "overseas filipino workers ",to communicate with their families,that's why the users of it were growing so fast.There are a lot of OFW abroad ,which connects with their family almost everyday. Pinoy's will always be active,and maybe this users of social media will even more growing in the coming years. But as for me,I will not go against with my fellowmen ,it's their freedom and choice to interact and show to the world who they are.At the end of the day,it's their accountability with what they did. If it's what can make them happy despite of the trials that everyone is going through ,why should I disagree.Life is too short indeed,and not to live in a lonely days. The fact that social media can make us forgot for a short period of time ,the reality that were facing each day.We should keep in mind to always be mindful with your posts,and be wise and be aware with the scams exist online. Pinoy's were always be pinoys,we have our own realization at the end of the day.Just don't forget to be responsible with our actions and before we tap anything online.

Heart,heart to the four of you. Until here,it's my thoughts for today,thanks for reading it. Salamat. https://unsplash.com/photos/CNbRsQj8mHQ
