2. Social Media, despite its many uses, has
become more of a burden than a benefit.
How so?
We’ll find out as I walk you through my
presentation.

3. Social Media is the main cause of what
people are yet to stop.
Media Addiction!
Media Addiction is an individual’s
dependence on Social Media such as
Facebook, IMVU and Twitter.

4. Regardless of whether people
deny it or not, Media Addiction
exists.
With the way technology has taken
over, along with the new mobile
era taking over, people can access
social media sites anywhere they
go.

5. What makes you an addict?
Being chained and bound to your sources of
Media, for example;
1-Constantly checking your facebook
notifications.
2-Updating your twitter account.
3-Staying at home all day while logged on
IMVU.

6. Symptoms of Media Addiction:
1- Withdrawal effects
2- Isolated from society (in extreme
cases)
3- A lack of verbal expressive
confidence with other people, whereas
confident when typing.
The list goes on…

7. What can be done to break away
from this chain?
There’s no such thing as a medical
cure for media addiction. But it is
still possible to break out of the loop.
It all depends on an individual’s
mentality.
