Social networking today has changed a lot. People have
accounts on various social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
among many others while some of the users are so addicted that they cannot spend
time with their family. There was a recent report from a study team in USA
stating that most of the divorces are taking place due to Facebook and social
networking which is really depressing. I have been asked so many questions
about Facebook and I would really try not to answer them because social
networking is not a small concept and definitely not a small world on the
internet.
I have seen Facebook users who do not have the etiquette to
use the networking platform as they often tag people in pictures they are not
in or tag them in a status which would not even relate in any way
possible. When it comes to Twitter, there is more madness going on. Social
networking is definitely a way to connect but at the same time you should
really know the limit and way to react online. Each an
every internet user is entitled to their own opinion on the world wide web but
what will happen if the status you make may get viral and reach your official
end. Have you ever though about it?
Today, being on Facebook for some people is just like having
an account in the Swiss Bank which would be considered prestigious but I would
like to state that it is fair to be on a networking portal and knowing how and
when to access and use it. Facebook and WhatsApp Messenger today have just
become an addictive and crazy platform which often should be curtailed for the
younger generation as many are straying away from their families and linking up
with friends. Being connected is one thing but the other is knowing how to be
connected. There are so many attention seekers on Facebook who really need to
take a break, sit back and think about what they really want to do in
life.
Facebook being one of the largest social networking site has
taught many a lot of things such as developing apps, creating pages and groups
and has truly connected people across distances. Today some creating a page
would think about the ways of going viral and the company has brought to you
Facebook for Business which has decreased the post reach on every page unless you
intend to boost the post. I have personally seen people who are heavily
addicted to Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter that they do not have time to even
sleep or spend time with their family. Parents should inculcate values of
having conversations with family members rather than on Facebook. On the other
hand, there are so many people like me who require the internet to carry out
various tasks related to work which is justified but make time to spend with
family.
If you really take a minute and ponder on, you will see that
social networking is connecting people over a larger area but disconnecting the
ones in the smaller area. It is time for you to think and act wisely as you do
not want a day to come where you have 4000+ people on Facebook who you called friends
but cannot remember a moment you spent with your family. I being a tech
evangelist would say that prioritize your life and keep in mind that social
networking is just was way to connect people. If you are having a close knit
family and strong friend circle why do you need to get connected more ? When it
comes to official work, it is justified so the choice is yours to connect or
disconnect.
