Social Networking compared to 5 years back was nothing as it is today. But looking at the statistics with growth over 200%, do you think it is doing any good to us?
Researches confirming that Twitter Makes us immoral, Scientists telling that Social Networking websites like FaceBook may end Face to Face meet up which may lead to cancer and many weird Results coming out like Couple splitting because of Second Life, and so on.
These Website’s are causing more harm than they are doing good , Scientists Claim.
Today, Apart from All these things, they are taking a Very precious thing from users, that is time. Yes, People spending 5-6 hours just writing short status updates rather than performing some, Playing some dum Car games and challenging other people to do so and score more points them, Answering useless quizzes. And if we see that 4o% of the population of the Social Networking websites are Under 18 and so this may lead to lowering of their Grades.
Also not this but increase in Cyber Crime has also increased since the invention of these websites because this is a tool which gives any user the power of anonymity which is very dangerous. Social Networking websites like Twitter, have become mainstream which means that they control spreading of most information and therefore indirectly making them the rulers and this can also lead to spread of Wrong Information for which no one can be blamed because of Anonymity.
With Social Networking Getting Attention from All sources including press, Television, Radio and so on, You have no other choice than to join it.
This is My point of View as a Teenager, Student. If you have something to say or disagree with my point, your are free to discuss it in the comments below.
Technology is a double-edged sword.
Along with the great convenience it has brought forwards, there are some bad new customs coming into being.
Yup, Every coin has 2 sides. One Good and one Bad!
I agree with the writer. These social networking sites are giving us new friends and entertainment but the pitfalls of these are more severe. People are more likely to take the bad thing faster as they r so attractive. Especially the young and teenagers are the victims of the technology. They are making fake profiles on tweeter and FB just for fun. They don’t know how they are losing ethical senses and killing valuable time and losing faith of each other. They are taking only the bad things out of these sites. These social sites are making people unsocial & unfaithful.
yes, completely agreed. but then again, it depends on user to user as to how they use it.
Hey I'v been reading your blog from quite some time now and I just wanted to say keep up the good work.
