Affect towards inter-personal skills:Due to overwhelming usage of social media, a person lacks communication in real
life. This leads to lacks of confident, effecting public speaking ability and reality
confrontation.
Individual easily distracted :When a person has already use the social media for a long period of time or a new
user, it will become an addiction. The feeling within themself will urge to check on
the updates will distract them in their current duty, chores or work. It will cause them
to lose focus in what they are doing currently. This will effect on their productivity.
Internet has led to its excessive use:The expansion in technology has also affected internet software, thus leading to
chatting sites known by the name social media. With social networking sites, one
can send and receive messages almost immediately. However, lack of regulation of
the internet has led to its excessive use. It is a common sight to see a youth chatting in
sensitive and highly organized places like church, mosque and lecture venues. Some
are so carried away that even as they are walking along the high way, they keep
chatting.
Effecting skills acquisitions:The manufacturing and distribution of equally sophisticated cellular phones has
complicated the situation, as youths no longer need to visit a cybercaf before they
send and receive messages. Attention has been shifted from visible to invisible
friends, while important ventures like study and writing are affected in the process.
This phenomenon has become a source of worry to many who believe in knowledge
and skill acquisition. The emergence of social media as a result of advancement in
technology and expansion in internet software has raised eye brows among academics
on its (social media) impacts on studies. Students at all levels of learning now have
divided attention to studies, as a result of available opportunities to be harnessed from
social media. Whether these opportunities promote studies is a question that needs to
be answered. There are two side points of effects that shown at below:
