This short but accurate articles talks about some different topics about Social Media. It is very interesting how they related addictions issues to modern society. Social Media has become one of the most dangerous addiction of our century , but what is really alarming is that is not considered yet as a threat for the people, the same way that cocaine or metanphetamines can be dangerous for the consumer aswelll.
This articles is also takes a more scientific approach and explore and explain the chemical reactions that makes connections between social media and our brains. It also suggest that the social media can trick our brain with the same chemical substance that our braings generate when we got hugs. According to Sigmund Freud human psyche theoy, i think i will definitely have a look at the relation between addiction,social media and our identy and try to triangulate this critique .

I found this profesor (Aaron Balick) and a book he wrote called " The psycodynamis of social networking. I couldn't find the full copy anywhere ( except buying it from internet,which I dont want to) but just having a peak on the book I think I may use it for further references on my essay .
