Social Networks

Today communication has taken a all new dimension with the introduction of social networking sites . But if we look into this social networks deeply we can see that this could possibly be a problem in the long run .

Many can argue the above statement as a anti-techno hippy one . They can also rate this technology to a greater extent that it has taken the humankinds mode of communication to the next level or step . They have enabled instant communication all over the world . Any no one can differ in the statement that social network has improved the interaction in the world . But the problem is what type of interaction does this social networking sites encourage .

To start-off , what do we actually mean by the word social network ? The answer might be quite easy and most common answer that peeps into our mind is websites like Facebook , YouTube and Twitter . Even though their interface might differ the most common features that all of these websites posses is they help us to get connected . These sites have done something exceptional that the whole mankind cannot do it in their 5 million years history . These sites go beyond the term just sharing views and they act like a digital cafe helping us to sharing emotions and communicating to the whole world .

It is sure that the founders of Internet and social networking sites will be really happy with the fact that they have taken the mans mode of communication to the next step . But the greatest fear is what will happen if the people start to think that the communication through these social networking sites is better than the by person communication ? This would disturb the socialistic nature of the humankind . And in the worst case what if the people spent more time in the digital cafe than just venturing outside their home?

If a such an impact that these social networking sites can give it to the humans it can well decrease the real life interaction that the humans carry out . It is really a shocking survey results that states that the todays younger generation spent more time in Facebook than the time they spent with their family . It short these social networking sites can be termed as the things that are hindering our social skills .
