Social controller: Mobile-based application solution for social networking problems

Abstract

The excessive use of social networking applications (SNA) through smartphone devices has created many social problems. Long hours using SNA lead to isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, divorce, criminal activity, road accidents, violation of privacy, indirect interaction between family members and others, and health problems, including tension and depression. Societies throughout the world are facing these problems. Blocking SNA is obviously not the right solution. This paper presents a technical innovative solution that offers an acceptable remediation. The solution's business model, and features and capabilities which will ultimately have positive impacts on society, are demonstrated.
