Social networks in themselves aren’t that bad an idea. Intended to link people to one another, help you stay in contact with friends who have emigrated to all four corners of the world, or to fill up your address book, social media was never meant to do harm. So rather than condemning the founding fathers, it’s up to you to use social networks wisely. Or delete your accounts….
People spend on average an hour and a half a day between all the various social networking sites. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Tumblr or Twitter, social media is constantly expanding, and has an ever growing fan base. So if you find yourself becoming antisocial due to communicating only via interconnected screens, consider a digital detox! Here are 18 satirical designs that clearly illustrate the excesses of social media.
