The Article  is about Sushma Goswami, She is a 24 years old Indian Graduated girl, when   she completed her graduation she Opened a Facebook account where she has more than thousand of followers. Now she spends her most of the time on social networking site. and the site quickly turned into an addiction as she started spending hours in front of her computer.  Which also affected her younger brother he also took a liking for it.  Spending time on social networking site also make them not to focus on their studies. And that's why they both raised the ire of their parents for neglecting their daily chores while doing little else beyond spending time online. In February 2014 Sushma became  so frustrated of her parent's objection for using social media and that's why she committed  suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan.    

The advice that I have for Sushma is that She shouldn’t  committed suicide because suicide never can be the solution of a problem. Bravely  and patiently facing the problem and tried to  find the solution of the problem can be the solution.

The Immediacy played into this article because Sushma’s  interest on social media causes  her to committed suicide.

Permanence played into this article because even though she past away but her Facebook ID will still be there because she didn’t delete her account.  

Lack of control also played into this article  because now people can get her information, photos, status etc from her account because now she don’t have any control of it.
