socia...Your post poses many pertinent questions... <br />social networking is now a common fad and most of us get hooked on to it without often being very rational in our approach. <br />However, I do not endorse the view that the 'social networking phenomenon' makes us unsocial, as might seem evident in many of us actually losing touch with our 'real' friends/loved ones. It is just a pastime obsession for the majority, not a major cause of concern. <br />As most virtual obsessions (like texting jokes and inane forwarded messages, or playing cyber-games), this too shall soon wear thin. As far as losing out on real opportunities with the ones who matter, or should matter, the blame should lie on the inherent dysfunctional parameters in the individuals themselves or in their prevailing 'realities'; a tool or a gadget can at best fill up a pre-existing vacuum, nothing else.Anindo Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797937746390651769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413475563472719074.post-1759616219277741162010-05-08T15:49:06.223+05:302010-05-08T15:49:06.223+05:30There is lot of truth in your ramblings - shift fr...There is lot of truth in your ramblings - shift from the real to a more virtual world to combat lonliness or find friends. <br />Social networking sites are short term solutions not a long or permanent.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599717353626554462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413475563472719074.post-84714851122606621772010-05-08T11:39:18.352+05:302010-05-08T11:39:18.352+05:30First of all, a very well thought write-up, indeed...First of all, a very well thought write-up, indeed ! Thanks for provoking thoughts even in others.<br /><br />For our generation and the genartions younger, its a way to escape from reality, to escape from the everyday boredom of the same old relationships, same old life....probably its also a way to look for a little praise of our inner thoughts, appreciation for any creativity which probably goes unrecognized with the people we are sorrounded by in real world.<br /><br />In search of true happiness, we get confused and tend to depend on this virtual world which boosts our ego in some way or the other.<br /><br />Life goes in cycle, we will also come out of this sooner or later. Hope, it is not too late by then !Moumitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188005813870991399noreply@blogger.com
