Social media has made the world a global village. One can travel and relate with people from almost everywhere in the world without necessarily having to board a bus or get a flight. Right there in the comfort of one's room, office or anywhere and at one's convinience, the journey can occur any day, any time, all you need is your phone charged and subscribed.Technology has really done a lot in bringing the world together in one place. Social media media is a kind of world that has ability to get people from different places across the world together. For instance with the aid of social media one can relate with people from Philippines, u.s e.t.c without necessarily having to travel over to those places. it has made communication very effective and much easier, thereby strengthening human Relationships.

Some Social networks are cheap and consume less of our resources than calls, and they offer us a platform to express ourselves more than we can actually do if we were to be in contact, Facebook has been modified to suit both those with data and those without data. Thereby giving us opportunity to be in touch with our loved ones without cost. I really appreciate the owner for that.

Social media has now become home for some of us, many people can spend hours and hours chatting without been tired. It is very funny how time flies very fast whenever we are chatting on phone than on a normal day. It has now become a basic thing in the lives of men today. It has dominated the entire universe both the young and old are taken by it. Social media has contributed a lot to man kind in the aspect of communication and entertainment but it has also affected many people in several ways. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to social media. In as much as it has many advantages it also has a lot of disadvantages. Now the point here is, social media in itself is totally pure and genuine but the way one uses it is what can result to negativity. The owner of those platforms never designed them to harm humans but the way one uses it, is what matters. For instance food is good for the body but excess consumption can result in harm. It is same with social media.

Many people abuse social media a lot in many forms of which some are not even aware, we make what is supposed to be private global. We post anything we want and spend more time than expected chasing nothing. Some people had their marriages shattered because of wrong and unwise usage of social media. I believe Social networks were designed to grant us comforts during our leisure time and not during work hours. It is so unfortunate that we have become so used to this platforms that we can not go a day without it.people spend almost 24 hours on social media and the annoying thing about it is that, all the time they are spending there is used for chatting nonsense and things that can not improve their lives, after wasting hours chatting only to discover that they left many things they are supposed to achieve undone. Who would you blame now, the owner of the platform or the user?  The owner has only designed a platform to help people link with each other, he didn't ask you to spend your whole day on it

**Positive impact of Social media in my life**
I can not really point out any solid advantage I derived from chatting apart from the boredom it takes away from me occasionally. it is not 100% effective, there were days that chatting ruined my day. sometimes I wish I could just delete all the applications and stay free from them but it doesnt work. I guess I am addicted to it. Permit Me to say that chatting has not yet done anything good for me. Seriously I can't pin point any tangible benefit I got from chatting.

**Negative impacts.**
On the negatives aspect I have a lot to talk about but since it is just one this contest permits, let me talk of about **the precious time it always take from me**. Since I started this chatting thing I discovered that time is no longer sufficient for me to do the things I am supposed to. I could wake up from 8:00am and be online chatting until 3:00pm. Sometimes I would have chores to do but I would neglect them and be online with my friends most especially when am in a new relationship, Ah!!!🤣 The painful part of it is that at the end of chatting I would remember that I have something to do and time is already gone.

I became an expert in procrastination because of chatting, many times I didn't do my assignments in school until the following day because of chatting. During those days I was teaching, I could neglect my lesson plan  because of chatting and then the following day I would be stranded. `"Chatting would always make you feel like there is time, you can do it later, just spend this time with this person, who knows this is the only opportunity you have to discuss this matter don't let it pass"`. And you can continue like that until five hours is gone. Some times I would gather books to read but as soon as I turn my data on, boom! I won't stop typing until the place is dark and then I will be like I can do it later before you know it. I have gone out of strength, the next thing to do is to just jump on my bed and sleep. I know many people have gotten a lot from social media but social media is one of the major distractions confronting me. I have tried many times to stop but it always results in failure. It is so pathetic I used social media in the wrong way and it has caused me harm. I believe not everyone is affected negatively by chatting.

But recently, I am beginning to minimize the way I chat. I set the number of hours I should spend on social media, each time I exceed it , I punish myself. I can't carry all the time I am supposed to use to invest into my future to chat with friends. I have wasted a lot of time on chatting and the painful part of it is that I can't get that time back. Just imagine if I had been using the time on studies or writing, I would have advanced a lot.

*In conclusion, chatting is not bad, don't get me wrong. infact it was designed with good intentions but how we use it matters a lot. One can discipline himself on how to use this platforms and it would not harm the person at all.*
