I use these functions, whether they are on my mobile phone or on my laptop, as a tool for information and help for different things. If there are some interesting things on it, I spend more time or, if there is nothing interesting, less time. OK, in some cases you read or look at an article that is linked to the next one…to the next one and so on. After some time the subject is completely different. In my case it happens to me more often on YouTube. But for me it’s ok, and sometimes I have some good ideas to solve some problems in a completely different way than I thought before. So it’s not a waste of time either. But even this waste of time happens sometimes. But there is no reason for me to limit my time. If a limitation is necessary, then we should also think about television, eating sweets or generally useless things. Normally nobody has a timer on his TV, which he turns off after 2 hours or locks his drawer where the sweets are.If someone has so little self-control, he would have to use all these things and not only activate a restriction for social apps.
So think about the things you do in your free time. For me it’s okay to relax and read or sometimes see things that are not so useful, but most of the time I want to use my time wisely. Tinkering with things, reading or looking at topics to get a better insight into different subjects.
