Everyday we go through popular social networking sites and now, it has become a routine in our everyday lives that a day without Facebook or twitter seems like we are in prison!
From morning to late night people are seen online through cell phones, pc's, tabs and so on...Nobody wants to cut off from this online networking even for a day. Young boys and girls are seen screwing up not only their sleeping hours but also their language.
But, my question is WHY?
WHY are we all following the herd?
WHY are we just blindly following this tradition of joining the social networking sites?
WHY do we want to express ourselves so much over the internet and not to the real people in our lives that matter to us?
WHY is all this happening?
the answer to all these questions may or may not be answered but here I am going to share a picture that says it all...
With this picture its definitely sure that the couple definitely wants to share the moment before actually experiencing it!!!
Both of them in spite of spending time together are so much affected and gathered up by the online world that it seems everybody on their friend list to comment on this picture is more important than their partner.
Nowadays, people are even sharing what colour they are wearing beneath their pants! EWWWW...(so GROSS!!!)
No doubt that all these social networking sites do offer a lot of knowledge to feed our brains but sharing everything on the social networks is that much important and relevant??
I mean I would always want to keep my personal life PERSONAL ..and wouldn't appreciate anybody commenting on the way I kiss...or the way I look while kissing (lol).
A new study conducted by market researcher Nielsen reveals that Americans are spending almost a quarter of their online time checking in with friends on social networking sites and blogs -- more than double the time they spend checking their emails.
In June 2010, the average American spent 22.7 per cent of their Internet time on social networks (up from 15.8 per cent in June 2009), 10.2 per cent of their time playing online games (up from 9.3 per cent this time last year) and just 8.3 per cent of their time checking and replying to emails (down almost 30 per cent year-on-year).
Today if somebody is unhappy about something they would rather be seen updating their status on Facebook stating their problem instead of going to someone close to them and sharing with them.
All this has led to severe depression in lives of many because they are not able to share their feelings with their close friends which leads to de stressing the body.
Nowadays, various applications have evolved that greet people over the internet on their birthdays and other special days so the whole tradition of doing something for friends on their birthdays and giving them surprises is seen erasing itself from our lives.
We all can be present anywhere through Skype this has led to families not meeting for years. Earlier, it would be an obligation for parents to take their children to meet their grandparents at least once a year but thanks to social media that once a year meeting has also taken a toss because of internet.
The internet has made connection so easy that it’s taken for granted.
Whereas Zuckerberg et al might idealise the strength of the virtual ties that bind us all together, the reality is that technology is gradually eroding away at the real value of what it means to actually connect with someone else.
so, with that all said I am going to check my todays picture on instagram for comments!
keep smiling and keep the charm on!
tada
