The problem about social media is the amound of time you spend in it. When you are on your phone, talking to your friends or watching videos, stories you miss a lot of things of the real world. Social networks are very addictive. The teenages or adults who are using it can't stay away from it. Most of people will say that you just have to disconnect from virtual world and put your phone down. But the reality is that is not that easy. But recently an application was made: "One-sec". This new invention was created to solve this problem. When you install it, you choose to which application you want to connect it. If you choose snapchat for example, when you will open it, you will have to wait for a certain time. Maybe you will have to do relaxation exercises, like take a great inspiration for 1min. Or maybe you will have to read an article. Sometimes just a black screen appears. The majority of people are lazy and don't want to wait because the goal of technology is to accelerate everything to not loose 1 second. The users are get used to the quick time of waiting on their phone. When they will install 
One-sec
 they will have to wait many seconds or minutes before having the access to their social medias. This is a persuasion technique. At first people will wait and play the game. But then alot of people will be lazy to wait and will just close the application they were opening. Step by step, people that have One-sec will success to stay away from their phones. Not because of the wait but because they will be "naturally"detached. This is very important to do it slowly. Because phone and social networks are addictions. And as you know, addiction souldn't be stopped from one day to another. The fact that people will come-off this problem step by step is a good thing. They will find again their place in the real world and they could spend more time with their friends or family and person. Their brain will also be disconnected from the technologies and they will be stress less.
