Social Media
You read the following text in an article on social media:
Love it or hate it, social media has become part of most people’s everyday lives; there’s a
lot of potential for distraction and low productivity, as well as the danger of new
generations being unable to maintain concentration. However, there are also some
excellent benefits to social media, from the way in which it trains our minds, through to
the ways it can be used for work and education. So is it a brilliant tool or a dangerous
distraction?
