Dimapur, September 12 (MExN): A workshop-cum-seminar on the topic “Addiction on Social Media, Internet & Online Games” was organized by Way2kingdom (W2K) media ministry for the student of class 9 and 10 of SM High School here. Director of W2K, Dilip Kujur, who was the resource person, emphasized on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and online games addictions, and how the addictions are destroying the students’ performance in academics.
According to a press release, Dilip also encouraged the students to spend time in studying instead of playing games or chatting online. He also showed some videos on how online gaming and online chatting have destroyed lives at a very young age and the family of others. Dilip further cautioned about being lured by fake account users in online chats.
There are many reasons for social media addiction, he maintained. “Students are addicted because they want to skip study, to kill time, in a competition to get more likes and comments.”
He added, “Today, drugs and alcohol is not destroying our society it is the wrong use of social media.”
