8. Social Networks and me. Composition.

I am going to talk about my relationship with Social Networks. When I was born people already used mobile phones but there were no social apps, however our society was getting hooked to computers and SMS.

I started using smartphones when I was only twelve years old. Nowadays I use mine more than four hours a day. I use it to listen to music, to communicate with friends, to talk to people, to look for information, to study and learn, to take pictures and to keep important things for myself.

In my opinion I should control the use I make of my gadgets but it is very difficult. Certainly I have to change my habits!
