About 640,000,000 minutes are spent on Facebook every month. Nowadays, in the Internet age, people's lives revolve around technology. It's extremely difficult to imagine spending a day without accessing the internet or using a mobile device. Social networking has become a habitual part of human culture, with websites such as Facebook and Twitter playing a unique and vital role in people's daily lives. Although people may say that social networks help spread news faster and improve ratings, the negatives outweigh the positives. Despite the recent increase in its popularity, social networks have adopted a negative role in society by limiting productivity, encouraging cyberbullying and creating addiction. A negative aspect of social networks is that they waste time and serve as a distraction for employees, which decreases their productivity. According to Nucleus Research Inc., from a randomly selected sample of 237 employees, two-thirds of workers accessed Facebook during work hours. Exhausted employees are easily attracted and distracted as they are more interested in what their friends post than their boring tasks. Furthermore, after being distracted by receiving a message, it takes approximately 20-25 minutes to return to the original activity; however, in 30% of cases, it took a full two hours to get back to the task at hand. This substantial loss of time and productivity caused by distracting websites hurts your business. To put this into perspective, spending just 30 minutes a day on social media while at work would cause a 50-person company to lose 6,500 hours of productivity per year.

Social networking is negatively affecting society by reducing productivity, supporting cyberbullying and becoming addictive. For example, productivity in companies decreases because social networks serve as a distraction for employees. Furthermore, social networks promote cyberbullying by giving people a new channel to bother others. Furthermore, due to addictive behavior on social networking sites, research is underway to discover possible correlations between social networking use and disorders. The dominance of social networks in today's society is so prominent and habitual that it has become inevitable. Ultimately, people must learn to intelligently ration their use of social networks, otherwise they may find themselves lost in its chaos
