FACEBOOK:THE DEVIL IN A BEAUTIFUL FORM

Scott Kleinberg  mentioned Facebook as “sharing trap” and I give my whole hearted vote to him.In this modern world many surveys have concluded that teenagers are more addicted to Facebook than drugs or drinks, If the latter spoils our health then Facebook spoils our mind !! I ask my friend ,how many hours do you spend on Facebook?”4 hours a day or something ” she tells me. atrocious isn’t it!! The digital lives of us “teenagers” has overwhelmed our lives in this real and wonderful  world .God has given us a wonderful world to enjoy and explore then why are we hiding behind these so called social websites !! In a essay for the GUARDIAN,the novelist Jonathan Franzen bemoaned online socialising ,arguing it was creating a uniquely shallow and trival culture.

“Facebook is like an empty fridge,even when you know there is nothing useful in there you are tempted to open and check” who said this first ?As far as I know one of my friends who is a “Facebook addict” told me that !! Apart from the teenagers addiction to Facebook,there are also many other mishaps occurring due to careless acceptance of friend requests,especially girls are made the targets!!!

Facebook’s way of making friends have destroyed the old way . C.S.Lewis once told “Friendship is born at that moment when one of the person says what ?you too? I thought I was the only one” . this is mainly misunderstood by many youngsters , they do find friends according to the above but in  Facebook!! they like their pics,share them and poke one-another ,but what’s the point!! In this world ,many of the so called Facebook friends don’t even know how their friend’s look!! I myself know 6 such people(yea to be frank) :):):) !!

Why are new generation people not into face to face talk? why do they want to hide themselves behind Facebook or such social websites? Are they afraid of reality ? where is this technological development taking us ? Is this called evolution? ask yourselves whether this is improvement in our economy?
