Do you think that Facebook is a good or bad thing?

[Luis]

I was so consumed with social media, that I felt the only way to get away from it all was to delete all of the sites I belonged to (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Kik/Whatsapp/Keek) - and although at first you feel something is missing, I started to feel as though I had more time on my hands, could concentrate more on my work and felt a lot more positive.

I think the foundation of them - Facebook in relation to your post - to connect with friends and family is good and positive, but they become a source of obsession and breed judgement, envy, anger and annoyance towards others, which is what makes them negative.

I still keep in contact with people through texts and calls, but I feel I'm more active, I don't feel the need to check up on anyone, and to know what's going on in the world I downloaded the BBC news app, so not completely out of sync.

They're good, but like everything in life, in small doses and unfortunately they've bred a culture of obsession.
