Self Deciplined people indeed. Have you heard about the "Sucide Challenge"?. You should Google it. I repeat Nigerians are learning when it comes to social media addiction. So save me that sermon of our social media addiction is why the country is the way it is. The country has been like this since 1960 before the rise of Social Media.

how many people have drowned??

You're right; there's certainly more noise these days.

But then again, is there really more noise today or are there just more tools amplifying the noise that has always been there?

Humans have been goofing off since known history and will always do so.

It's just that we now have more tools to express our wisdom - and foolishness.

Wisdom has never really been so "sexy" so invariably much foolishness floats to the top.

"Grandma, who is that gagged man in the car trunk?"

"Oh, that? That was my pre-wedding picture with your Grandpa"...

You seem not to understand him, social media gives us opportunity to leave too many details of our past unlike the days of our fathers. yes, indecency is not limited to our generation but hardly can you find them common place.
Moreover, everything about some people is on social media, I repeat everything not minding the negative implications if any.

In reply to the topic of discussion
Social media is like freedom......... and freedom is a test of maturity and self control after being given

Bahddo:
Lol. This is like blaming your phone speakers for the bad message contained in a song you are playing, or for how often you play songs.

The problem is that many of you guys don't read anything about history. The history you know stopped at what fathers and mothers said about when they were little.

I hope you know that in some cultures in the past, people walked about near _naked covering only the lower private parts. Boobs would be bouncing up and down. Even up till our day, a few cultures are still that way. Yet those do not qualify either as indecency or commonplace to you guys. Indecency is only when a girl wears a low-cut dress exposing cleavage and posts on instagram.

In the past, the Romans engaged in public sex orgies in some of their festivals. Are you aware? Yet when you see a guy hold a girl at the waist, you scream indecency as if you don't do worse. To you guys, decency is how good one is at pretending.

Man has always been a social creature, craving acceptance into the herd. To get accepted, he'd use whatever tool is available. We only happen to have more tools now, so expect man to be more expressive of himself - both the good and the bad. You think it's bad now? It's going to get worse.

Bahddo:
Ridiculous post. You took your subjective dislike of instagram and snapchat filters and made a mountain out of it. That's silly.

Don't flatter yourself, in hundreds of years from now, your photos wouldn't even be relevant. Same way most of us couldn't care less what people discussed in the 10th century. The only people who would be remotely interested are historians and other people who wish to study how social media has evolved over time.

The year 2017 wouldn't be relevant either. People would only mention the 21st century, and at times group the 20th and 21st century together.

You seem to underestimate the power of technology. Even right now, technology has made data processing relatively easy. Don't even imagine how it would be in future, when 1 terabyte of data would be to them the way 1 megabyte of data is to us.

Don't pity future generations. They would be just fine with or without your photos, in fact chances are they would do more with augumented and virtual reality. Pity those in the the current generation that believe snapchat filters can possibly ruin the future.

NaijaTechGuy:



I don't Underestimate the power of technology. If you check my post well, I'm writing from the "Family" point of view. Don't tell me you haven't seen pictures of your grandparents or parents when they were kids. Oh I guess their pictures meant nothing to you.. The trend continues. You expect those in the future to automatically remove filters from your photos with augmented reality or VR, though it's possible but Did you have to remove filters to see your dad's picture as a youth. The useless amount of data we're leaving is too much. Let me remind you even in 2017 the past years still matter. The same way 2017 will matter in years to come. History is an essential part of humanity, technology cannot do without it. It's as simple as that.

This addiction to social media is ruining everything. And it's bad for even the economy as a whole.

When paid employees spend more time on social media rather than concentrate on the job they are paid for, their productivity reduces, the employer records less progress and profits than expected. The ultimate result? Employers are forced to lay off employees just to stay afloat.

Now, before some skunks read shitty meanings into my words, I've not said social media addiction is the only reason for increased loss of jobs due to dwindling fortunes of employers. But it sure is one of the contributing factors.

In addition, Nigerians would be better off if only they can cut down on the hours spent on "slaying", "calling out", "reacting", "shading", "trolling", "bashing", and doing all sorts on social media. If only they could channel that time into brainstorming for innovative business ideas that can better their fortunes, that would not only grant them financial independence but also create jobs and improve the economy.

adoyi81:

They would be just fine you say,let me remind you of a hidden danger.
A good percentage of waste generated from all these tech facilities are radioactive in nature ,and you know what do to the environment.
The rate we are going,the future you talked about may just be a mirage.
We have already stretched the earth resources
What would be left for the future?

bro truth be said.. Ur post is rather showing a Lil bit of sentiment like as if u have a problem with platforms, Facebook for example is a collection of every type of humans, u see the jokers and the business men, Instagram has helped us make marketing very simple, following the right channels will get you more informed and about the pictures from what I know, when people date they take professional pictures which they save to the Internet which has proven to be the best place to keep your files. 100 years to come, your children can easily scroll through your Google Drive and relive your life through the pictures, I don't really get ur point on this leaving excess data but I do know that the Internet cannot be exhausted, it has infinite capacity and I can tell you that, no matter how large the junk photos are, there are also a greater amount of very important pictures and info that is stored on the Internet with the help of the social media.. I for example have very important pictures that I save to the Internet that without Facebook, I wouldn't..

Bahddo:
wait o, bros... You raised a good point, but I don't see the relationship between social media and radioactive waste. Please help me understand. The dog ears the op was complaining about are radioactive or what?
