Social Media: Dangerous to Health - Yours and Others
According to statistics, around 30% of driving accidents in Australia are caused by drink driving. It joins New Zealand, U.S.A and Canada, as one of the worst countries for drink driving. Considering that these countries are also higher income countries, drinking seems like a status symbol. Almost like – Have money, will drink.
The other thing that Australia is noted for is gambling, in which it is the leading country in the world. Gamblers report a loss of $1.128.00 per adult. At one time almost 1,000 gamblers were registered to be banned from gambling, many of whom breaking the ban when able.
It seems to the addictive habits of drinking and gambling – dangerous to themselves and others – another one is now being added. It’s called Social Media addiction.
According to some experts, while at least one third of world population is using social media, some 210 million people suffer from media addiction. Like other addiction it manifests itself as excessive usage followed by problems in the real world.
You can become depressed, have difficulty sleeping, suffer broken sleep by the necessity of checking the phone during the night instead of sleeping, alienate yourself from real social interaction. Other health problems might include sore fingers and wrists, headaches and sore eyes.
This is what you could be doing to yourself. When it comes to others, social media addicts can be as dangerous as other addicts. Drivers who can’t leave their phones alone while driving are both killing and injuring others.
At the other extreme is the Social Media addict who gets himself or herself killed while walking and paying no attention to what is happening around them.
Social Media addicts are encouraged to use their brains instead of their fingers, and live to see another day.

Grieving Bride
Read recently on the Internet about a bride who never got to be a wife.
Apparently on the wedding day celebrations two of the bride’s guests had a quarrel with her new husband. The quarrel escalated and became quite ugly resulting with the two bride’s guests – who incidentally were brothers – shooting the bride’s new husband and his brother.
It’s a bit of a novelty that wedding guests attends a wedding anticipating problems needing a gun.
However, one can only imagine the horror, the grief, the sorrow, the anguish, the desolation the poor bride left behind must have felt.
What were her reactions one wonders? Did she like poor Miss Havisham of ‘Great Expectations' lock herself away from the world to feed her unhappiness in silence for the rest of her life.
It seems not. A soon as she got the chance the bride opened her computer and poured her heart out on social media.
Well, they do say we all grief in different ways!
