Your Virtual Life By Serynah Moreau

Have you ever stoped for a moment and thought about the modern culture your living in. If you did, you would see its not that great. With all the social networks we don't talk face to face with friends anymore. We send texts or emails and that makes less bounding time. Basically we are living a double life and the virtual one is starting to take over! Some of these reasons is because we are too much on our phones and not spending enough time with our love ones.

38% of collage students cannot go 10 minutes with out checking their emails, tablet or smart phone. Yes, it can be an advantage for students that have special needs but it can still distract them with all the notifications and apps. If you are at a family dinner and you put yout phone on vibrate and notice it, well you will want to see what is was. If it was a message or missed call you would leave the table to call them or even text them at the table. That's just rude for the others.

With all that sharing your life online, you're not disconnecting from your social media. Yes it's okay time to time to be on your device. Too much time on it can stop your social interference with your close ones. Some close ones are not there forever so get out and spend time with them. "Family is not an important thing it's everything" -Michael J.fox once said.  

Students and teens don't spend enough time away from their phones. Technology changed the way we live, not all in a good way. Now you see we need to change this but how? That's where you can help! Even just by putting your phone away for a day, go outside with friends or even just help a neighbor or a family member.
