Kunzima ukuthi abantu abaningi bacabange ukungangeni ku-Facebook okungenani kanye ngosuku, ikakhulukazi manje phakathi nesikhathi sokwanda kwengcindezi yomhlaba wonke. Kepha ingabe kusenza sizizwe sisondelene kakhulu ngenkathi sizijwayeza ukuqhelelana nabantu? Mhlawumbe akunjalo, noma kanjalo kuphakamisa a uphenyo okwakamuva. Kungase kukhulise izinga lokukhathazeka kwabantu abaningi.
Kulolu cwaningo, olushicilelwe kumagazini i-Computers in Human Behavior, ithimba labacwaningi liqashe abantu abangu-286, bonke ababike ukuthi bachitha okungenani imizuzu engu-25 ngosuku ku-Facebook, nakuba isikhathi esivamile sokusebenzisa kwakuyihora noma ngaphezulu. Ingxenye yabahlanganyeli yahlukaniswa yaba yiqembu elilawulayo, elalisebenzisa inkundla yezokuxhumana njengenjwayelo, kanti enye ingxenye yacelwa ukuba inciphise ukusetshenziswa kwabo ngemizuzu engu-20 ngosuku amasonto amabili.
Ucwaningo lwaphawula lokho iqembu elincishisiwe lokusebenzisa laba nokuziphatha okunempilo ngemva kwamasonto amabili nje, okuhlanganisa ukuchitha isikhathi esengeziwe ukwenza umsebenzi womzimba nesikhathi esincane sokubhema. Baphinde bakhombisa izimpawu ezimbalwa ze ukucindezeleka namazinga aphezulu we ukwaneliseka ngokuphila uma kuqhathaniswa neqembu elilawulayo. Le miphumela iqhubekile izinyanga ezintathu ngemuva kokuphela kokuhlolwa, futhi okungenzeka nangale kwalokho.
Isiphetho lapha ukuthi isikhathi esiningi esizinikezela ku-Facebook, isimo esikhulu senhlalakahle sizosithola futhi siphile impilo enempilo. Ukuchitha isikhathi esincane ku-inthanethi kunomthelela a ukwanda kokusebenza komzimba ngokujwayelekile, futhi lokho kubalulekile empilweni yethu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuncipha kokuziphatha kokubhema kuyaphawuleka. Ngokuvamile, kubalulekile ukunciphisa isikhathi esisichitha ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, futhi sizinikele ekubeni ungaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi.
Yize ucwaningo lwenziwa ngaphambi kobhubhane lwamanje lwe-COVID-19, ngikholwa ukuthi imiphumela iyafana phakathi nokusabalala kwaleli gciwane emhlabeni jikelele. Eqinisweni, ngicabanga ukuthi kubalulekile manje ukuthola isikhathi sezikhathi zesikhashana zokuqeda ubuthi bedijithali. Njengoba sandisa amahora okusetshenziswa phakathi nalolu bhubhane, inhlalakahle yethu (engokomzwelo nangokomzimba) iyancipha kakhulu. Ukufunda yonke imininingwane engemihle, amanga nezindaba ezilimazayo kukhuthaza izimpawu zokukhathazeka, ukwethuka nokucindezeleka. Ngisho, kwandisa ukuthambekela kokulutha, njengoba uhlola njalo feed futhi uzizwa ungakhululekile uma ungekho ku-inthanethi.
Ukuzizwa unolwazi akufani nokuzizwa uxhumekile. Kunconywa kakhulu ukunciphisa isikhathi sakho ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ezifana ne-Facebook, ikakhulukazi uma uhamba uzizwa ucindezelekile noma ukhathazekile. Uma uzizwa unesizungu, khipha ifoni yakho ushayele umngane wakho.
