social network < commercial network

Introduction: definition of social network from our point of view:

Dear friends

Today we believe in writing  our status on social networks more than sharing with our friends in real…we make relations on networks,,we break relations on networks..so are these social networks really bringing us closer or taking us apart ???.,

  Do u remember those old time..when we used to depend on letters, pen friends, get-together,..parties..social meets,..reunion functions.????.how we used to enjoy when we meet any old friends of ours..wow!!!..and if we know that we are going to see someone after so long ,we used to wait eagerly for those moments to come.but now,…… all those excitements, those thrills and mad ness are controlled and revolving within these social networks.

Now we express our love, our grief , sadness and happiness via these medium..even our happiness like marriage and child birth , are also preferred to be shared with these sites then sharing with word of mouth.

Now when we meet people in real and make friends..we invite them to one of the social networks..so as to continue the relation .

I have seen relation built on those sites...went long..and than broken apart..even before they meet .

Even I was so confused because I was also too much addicted to these networks….is it leading me to a situation when i will be having more faith in someone’s  few written words  than the person in real??

 From the news room

I would like to share about an incident which I came to know after reading an article few days back…..where one girl from Bangalore killed herself because her boyfriend wrote in his status of facebook, that he is going to break off with that girl, because they had an argument.

That girl was pursuing IIM..and she was also an alumini of IIT. Now do you think our relations are so weak that we trust so much to these networks and decide our destiny just by reading someone’s status...

What is our real motive ?:


Some social networks claims ”we bring friends together”..I agree, but now situation is that if we check our friends list, we will find that the list of friend is more than we ever know them in real life...sometimes we invite someone ,, because..we like their profile pics sometimes we invite someone because we saw them somewhere in past…. in someone party , sometime we do invite because they are single.. Within days you can see relationship changing from single to engaged, then divorced,...and again single…….oh so confusing .

Also sometimes we accept friendship because someone sent friend request to you or just because, you like him or her….

Who are your friends… real friends?

So if you check your friend request we will find that out of 100% ,,,  30% will be those friends whom you really know.

More than 30 % will those who are your friends because u know through your friends..around 30% will be those whom you have accepted because either u like them or you yourself don't know why we add, and rest 10 % are those who are still waiting to be your friend by sending you friend request......

CONCLUSION

But by reading my blog you guys will feel , as if I am against all these social networks., but the answer is no!! because sometimes I  find myself too ,to be so addicted to it.

But if u pause n think then u will find yourself that emotions, feelings, and joy,,, are over powered by web world..things and thinking  are getting more worse then this…this is just a beginning.

Now we cannot blame these sites completely, because its up to us,how we are influenced by this sites,and how much priority we give in our life to these. for example ..it can be a place to pass time. for some one as dating sites, for some one as a match maker..for some one a place to search lost friends. for some ..its nothing. but , they open account because tats the new trend in market.

WE ARE CLOSED VIRTUALLY BUT  WAY APART EMOTIONALLY.

If you disagree with me please comment
