Social Networks

Nowadays we have plenty of different social networks. We waste our time surfing there day and night. Having our phones or notebooks we can be online everywhere. Some people are really addicted to social networks and they need to check their tweeter or instagram every single minute.

You have complete freedom of choice to use one of the thousand networks. Like square photos? Welcome to instagram! Really love google? Your choice is Google+. But there is one important condition: in order to be in touch with your friends they should use the same network!

In modern families you can clearly trace the evolution of the ways of communication. Usually there are three generations in a common family: grandparents, parents and children. Each generation prefers its own way to communicate. Grand parents like landline phone, parents usually use mobile phone or email and children and young people prefer social networks. 

There are some certain advantages of social networks. You can communicate with your friends all over the world and for free. You can find like-minded persons or special interest community in over a minute. More of it, what I like the best of the social networks, it’s an exchange of the experience and information between ordinary people.

But there are negative sides as well. Firstly, social networks allow their creators or other organizations (such as CIA for example) to control our personal data, interests and to trade them without our knowledge or consent. Secondly, live communication is replaced by virtual reality. Two friends can sit side by side and write something on the devices but they do not exist for each other now and here. And thirdly, people have lost the feeling of responsibility for their words and deeds through social networks. The whole important ability is being destroyed by these networks. A person – a doctor or a parent – can do or say whatever he/she wants and nothing will happen. No fear, no mind, no heart. 

So what do you choose: networks or a real life?
