New tech has its good and bad sides, although it can be daunting and really intrusive, it is hard to discount the benefits we enjoy from all the improvements to the old ways of doing things that we enjoy.
When veteran actress, Bimbo Akintola declares her fear for social media, it is very understandable but what is more interesting is why she finds its scary.
According to The Punch, the 49-year-old many young people allow themselves to give in to the pressure of living fake lives based on what they see on social media.
She said, “The first thing people need to remind themselves of is that it is not everything they see on social media that is real.
“A lot of people only show the sweet sides of their lives on social media, and those who look at such do not always know that there is a sour side too.
“As far as I am concerned, social media only portrays one side of the story and not the reality of life itself and that is why I fear it so much.
“Young people must be careful not to allow social media to pressure them into leading fake lives.”
