According to Thomas, Azmitia, and Whittaker, (2016) Living in the 21st century and
without internet is just like missing a big part of this world. Technological up gradation
and technology have taken over the market very rapidly. CMC (Computer-mediated-
communication) has become the part lives of the people. This study reflects the rise in the
use of the technology with the help of the survey. The authors conducted the study with
the use of the qualitative and the quantitative survey method which is the primary method
of the research. The primary method on which the data is based includes participants,
procedure, Survey, and others. The results related to the survey which was conducted are
discussed which shows the positive and the negative feelings towards the unplugging
from the CMC. The negative or harm from the CMC is discussed by the authors in the
report considering the primary research. This journal talks about the age-related themes
that appeared as the cost and advantage to unplugging, projected unplugging activities
and the explanations for the unplugging. Moreover, the author also reflects the
characteristic difficulty of the withdrawing from the web of the digital technology and its

more superior from other one is a valuable question. In context with several things,
internet causes convenience which further causes laziness and ease for people who do not
excel to do extra efforts for the things in their lives (Pontes, Kuss, and Mark. Griffiths
2015). The researcher of the article conducted the research on the basis of the secondary

the critical IS research to define the manifestation of the alienation online. Author

capital market: evidence from consumer product recalls." Journal of Accounting
Research 53, no. 2 (2015): 367-404.Business Research
According to Lee, Lian, Hutton, and Susan (2015) Social media is growing broader and
broader day by day. There are many positive and negative effects of the same. It is a
platform for the people where they can interact with the world. In some cases it is used
wisely whereas in most of the cases it is used very adversely (Anderson, Janna, and Lee
Rainie, 2010). The study reflects that most of the people are using it to do chatting and
communication worldwide, whereas there are many problems which are rising out of it.
Though, this is the fact that the moderating effects of social media varies with the level of
the organization involvement and regulate of the exerted by the different users. The
negative effect of social media is growing parallel to the positive growth. There are
problems which are rising because of this such as data theft, information leak, usage of
photos and images negatively, etc. Talking in terms of time this is a platform in today's
world where people spend most of their valuable time. Further it is causing much
information transfer which is not needed and is causing many problems in relation to
social and ethical issues. As far as the speed of spreading information is concerned it is
very fast on social media. Therefore, there are both types of data which gets transferred
positive and negative. But the negative data can cause a lot of problems for the social
network and people. The data is also not specific to one range of people it is spread
worldwide. Also there are chances of hacking which may cause huge effects on the
accounts and personal life of people. The method with the help of which the research is
conducted by the author is the secondary source which includes internet, website,
government paper and many others.

Time is the most valuable asset which people should use wisely. Everything on the
internet is making it sure that a person uses most of its time on the internet. Utilizing that
time to do most productive things happens very lightly and the deployment of time in just
hanging around any application is more taken as a priority. This is the major problem
which is creating a problem. Using internet is not difficult but using it wisely is a major
task which most of the people fails at. Time is money and the online websites make its
very sure that people get infected by it and spends there most of the time on sites.
Everyone has one or the other application which they like the most on their phone and
likes to spend their time in.
Rey, Pedro J. "Alienation, exploitation, and social media." American Behavioral
Scientist 56, no. 4 (2012): 399-420.

has been modified to the eruption of the websites. The journal article includes the review
related to the Marx applied which include the thoughts of alienation and taking advantage
of his paradigmatic. A major difference between the two case studies that are discussed is
factory work is wage labor coerced with the help of economic necessity but with the use
of the social networking sites. There are social applications such as Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter etc. which is being chosen as a platform for most of the people for interactions
and communication so as to make it easier for them to have connections. The study has
been conducted with the help of the secondary research. The study provides the details
for the companies, users, and others. The Internet is used each and everywhere even in
personal life, business, and day to day life and so on. It has become an essentiality for
livelihood nowadays. Accessibility to the resources and things is made easy by the
internet which is related to sources for ease in business as well as other connections such
as talking to a person anywhere in the world etc. In addition, this is the fact that the use of
the social media is not economically advantageous for the most of users.
