Fear of Missing Out Instead of Following the Reality

           I got a smartphone with constant Internet connection at the age of 10. This gave me the opportunity to continuously chat with my friends in group chats, and loads of messages kept appearing in my notification box. My Fear of Missing out germinated at that time, and till nowadays it has been expanding. New things seeming reasonable for tracking are arising every minute. I have noticed that people very easily get used to new features in media, which are invented to keep users' attention. And the amount of time spent in the media has been increasing for last several years. In this blog I would like to discuss the reasons why do we let this happen to us - why do we let the media to interfere with our real lives. The events we are following on the web become the most important and urgent things. People lose track go time and tend to postpone their actual occasions. This is an important issue, which may affect one's life meaning.
