Social Media Addiction at Sonora State University. Cirilo Duarte Felix

Technological advances continue to grow largely to make our lives easier, so much so that society has become more dependent on the use of technology. The excessive use of new technologies such as mobile phones is causing young people to disrespect spaces such as schools, which are often seen as interrupting the teacher explaining a class, with acoustic signals or laughter for seeing a Facebook post, receiving a Whatsapp message, an Instagram photo or responding to a Twitter feed. Today one of the problems that is having more presence around the use of mobile phones in young university students, is the dependence on social networks and video games. Generating problematic situations such as: lack of attention in class, reduction of school productivity, promoting individualistic behaviors, degradation of language, addiction to them. (Caldevilla, 2010).
