A recent study conducted in Germany by the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business says that social networking sites could be causing relationship problems and even divorces.
It says that the impulse to check in on social media is among the strongest temptations for our society today.
During the study it has been found out that social networks were the hardest attractions to resist than yearnings for sex, alcohol, cigarettes or other gratification.
Closer home in India, things seem to be no different. Manya Kinjhar, student of Economics, Nagaland University was quoted by a website as saying: “Tweets and comments on Facebook make me at high and I do not feel doing anything at the end of the day. It is just new addiction for our generation besides smoking, drinking etc. Earlier, I used to sleep eight hours a day but entry of new activity on Facebook keeps me awake for half of the night.”
Nitin Jhoba, another student from Nagaland University agrees: “When people are posting more sexy and spicy things on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, then who cares about sex with partner? This generation is smarter than others; they not only know much better about sexual characteristics, they are also ready to talk about it frankly.”
The study was conducted only in Germany, but it is applicable to the rest of the world, I agree with
Judy Molland, who wrote an article on the same topic on Care2 website.
