Many believe that attention time has become shorter due to social media. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In this modern era, there is an icrement in using social communication. A number of people advocate that attention span has shortened by cause of social networks. To begin with, the main reason behind this issue that previously there was a limited amount of entertainment, such as TV and radio. While now there is a lot of entertainment. Additionally, social media provide numerous job opportunities and can be used for self studying. One of the biggest dissadvantage is that platforms have addictive effect. For instance, an application like Tik Tok is specifically designed to provide short addictive videos, which last under 10 seconds. Moreover, according to the survey of British Institute of Technologies, the average human attention span was 12 seconds in 2000, whereas now it is 9 seconds only. On the other hand, there are positive aspects in using social platforms such as getting a job or pupils doing self study. In addition to that, media platforms help unify people by connecting them through the same platform. It helps to build relationships among communities by creating a feeling of oneness. For example, foodies can join the food blogger community, and gamers can join communities related to games, etc. In addition to this, using platforms share their experiences, and get support, which can positively affect mental health. Taking everything into consideration, I agree that social media has cause the average person to struggle with concentration for extended periods.
