Active Blogs | Popular Blogs | Recent Blogs Don't know but this issue was somewhere in mind was flashing whenever i see/hear/read/ya end up myself..with the net..
Few months back one of my Aunt was complaining that she feels outspaced with her tech savvy kids, though happy one way she feels some insecure nerve, most when kids socalise online, or can i call it near to ADDICTION?
When i thought of this write up i tried to read/understand/share few views/thoughts from different circles of people around me,, Real World..
What is an Social networking Site and what is it all about?.I think most of all ..youth/frequent online users etcmust have some/near to some idea about such sites and their activities in it.. To name some crowding sites in web:Orkut, Myspace, facebook,Hi5, Meetup, ZeroDegrees, Friendster, Bebo, and whatelse yes Youtube(This info gathered from an conversation among our friends who are in/out of india.)
Such sites rocketed into a phenomenon that engages 10' of million of internet users.. Older teens and yes ofcourse people who arein urge formore and more active virtual life.
Internet which started as revloution is now turning us into addicts or near to that especially when we talk about SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES.Though most of such sites are changing the human fabric of the internet, but now adays people spend hours and hours on these kid of websites.. as they are powerful/youthful/exciting.
Now the big Questions are :
Just like any addiction is social networking also becoming or is an addiction?
What is there in sites that make them CRAZY enough to spend hours and hours in front of their moniter screens?
In a short discussion on this issue finally i ended up asking them/myself: Is it something that can have negative after efects of being part of a Social network?
In this context i would like to say something which i read somewhere, ..It said: "I love my computer because my friends live in it".
Funny oneliner isn't but i felt it is true..Why because sites like Facebook, Myspace users can instantly keep a track of their friends and be updaed of their activities
One such message i have happened to read..One of a facebook users who messeged: Hey guys.. U know what i sneezed 10 times, coughed 5 times ,spit twice in a the whole day yet im nt with cold!!!
Many such messages came into my view..funny but.. call it virtual reality...Even the commnest of common activity/feeling/emotion/aspects are sharedc in such virtual community.They feel it is the next best thing..
One of my close friend admitted that though she ignores the flasing invitation to random application on Facebook, still while deleting she realised that even though she spemds huge amount looking and deleting such without her consious..
So can we call it insane addiction?
Excessive internet users(30-40 hours aweek) can be placed in internet addicts" catogory and this is growing fast pace day by day(fact extracted from TOI)
Safety measures to lessen the addiction and lastlt get rid of it completely;;
Limit yourself:
Try it as some lesiure time activity abd not every hour/day.
Avoid E-mail alerts:
Getting lots of Email alerts can tempt you to visit the sites more often.
Avoid social network option to access their application on Mobile phones.
Such addiction would result in new form social behaviour and blur in distinction between real world and online intractions.
Social networking is fun for sure!but it should not rule our heads and give us some unwanted troubles.So enjoy these services at your own RISK.
Friends.. i tried my best to make some eleborate points to grasp.. dont know how much this works but for sure.. it can give rise to an thought to any1 here who read..

SS sanju | Addiction is word we can use when things go beyound our hold or when we end up as nowhere but to that one particular habit.. ultimately which upsets health/wealth/relations nad normal ways of living..
In this age of too many brain teasers..one should have to actually understand for what they are getting used to or getting addicted.. call it to mobile usage, networking,to earning money,watching T.V and lot other stuff, narcotics and drugs...
Coin do have 2 sides.. let us focus on brighter and healthier side along with rectifying the dark side..
Hai all thanks for the wishes and comments.. Hope to bring few more such issues and the thread of thoughts keep flowing..
