is a combination of social media and sports. Youth nowadays are lack of
participation in outdoor activities due to their addiction to social Media.
Youngsters now spend an average of one hour and 50 minutes online and two hours
40minute in front of the television every day. Social network has made the life
of people more interesting; its negative impact has created lack of
participation among the youth in outdoor activities.
Cyber-Relationship Addiction
to social networking, chat rooms, and messaging to the point where virtual,
online friends become more important than real-life relationships with family
and friends.
Our aim is to encourage our participants to Log-Off from their virtual
life of social media communication and walk into our CommFest2012 where
social-media meet sports, which also will allow them to understand the
importance to balance social media and sport for a healthier lifestyle.
