Social media is one of the fastest­growing industries in today’s world.A study

conducted by the US Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online

daily.The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers’

lives.

·Changing relationships

High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces

face­to­face communication.“It makes inperson relationships harder because of

people’s attention given to their phones instead of their friends，” Cooper said.

Yet，some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships

with anyone from anywhere.Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long­distance friend

through social media.He currently lives in Scotland，but they’re still able to

frequently communicate with each other.“I can feel close to someone that I’m

talking to via FaceTime，” Kaplan said.

·Wanting to be “liked”

The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves.The

19­year­old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram

that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about

appearing perfect online.Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager’s

self­esteem.Teenagers who get negative comments can’t help but feel hurt.

·Opening new doors

However，Armin Korsos，a student from Illinois，takes advantage of the comments

he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site

YouTube.“Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world

in a way that has never been possible before，” Korsos said.

(2021·湖南省东部六校高三联考)

Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other digital

devices.Some eye doctors say this leads to an increase in “computer vision syndrome

(电脑视力综合征)”．

Nathan Bonilla­Warford is an optometrist (验光师) in Tampa，Florida.He has seen

an increase in problems in children.“A lot more children come into the office either

because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red or watery eyes

or discomfort，or because their nearsightedness appears to be increasing and 3 / 18 they’re worried，” he says.

Dr.Bonilla­Warford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely

to pay no attention to early warning signs than adults.“Even if their eyes start

to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache，they’re less likely to tell

their parents，because they don’t want to have the game or the computer or whatever

taken away，” he explains.

He says another part of the problem is that people blink (瞬间) less often when

they use digital devices.He says，“A person who uses an electronic device blinks

about one third as much as we normally do in everyday life.And that can result in

the front part of the eye drying and not staying protected like normal.”

Eye doctors offer suggestions like the following which is known as the 20/20/20

rule.That means every twenty minutes look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty

seconds from whatever device you’re using.

Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the device and

using good lighting.Of course，another way is to spend less time looking at

screens.Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using

digital devices—with no screen time for children under two.

But not all eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in

children.Dr.David Hunter，from Boston Children’s Hospital，has not seen an
