Technology is meant to help us for functional uses not for every single task handed over to us. social media is a that enables users to upload a profile and make friends with other users. Social media is for socializing, but it our fascination of it really deprives us to communicate one on one. Humans are able to do many things, we have a mind a brain that we can not understand, in other words the brain does not yet understand itself.
