Since the start of Orkut , the social network was on full swing and then Facebook, twitter and many more came in picture. So does social media do good to the users or just a way to fool the people? You exactly know why I am writing this. So is social media boon or curse to the society ?
#1 Are Social Profiles just to boost ego
All Facebook users, I ‘m not talking about a celebrity page, just your profile, my profile suppose having over 200 friends or less. Does it mean are you really in good terms with all your friends listed on your friend list? The answer is blatant no from my end . I can bet hardly you talk to anyone over phone. Since decades the phone is still the number one mode of communication. How many of you call your friends or you get call from them. The answer is maybe 1 %, maybe max 5% .So is it to increase your social presence?
So if you really want to make your presence felt in social media, then become a celebrity by your exceptional talents if you have one. But just randomly adding friends to make your profile look big won’t take you nowhere. The only good thing about social network is that we can get loads of information which is really knowledgeable. Of course, we need to be aware of it.
#2 Most Social Profile Friends are fake
But as a Facebook user, tell me how many times have you visited your old friend or called him/her to know her state of mind. Its very simple to comment on a friend’s Facebook page, photo. Whereas in reality we seldom call our friend even if we are staying in the same city and in the same colony. But never met in two years. Only wishes are exchanged via Facebook during Christmas, New year and other festive occasions . How meretricious that looks ? It is difficult to identify fake friends but the social profile friends are almost fake.
Conclusion
Nevertheless social network is definitely boon as it enlighten us with knowledge, information and keep us aware of all news . But in the meantime it has definitely taken away our carefree feeling for our friends, colleagues as we communicate with them artificially rather than making a meaningful friendly chat with them in person
Comment your thoughts on this topic if you feel the same way as I feel.
