SOCIAL NETWORKING IS BENEFICIAL FOR US???


                                            
The world as it looks like is becoming short day by day. The era of so called WWW is far behind the long distances of humanitarian grounds now people find it well connected in social networks. It has become a practical pillow for all those who are still sleeping in the arms of its undue after effects. Question arises why all of a sudden these so called communicative realms of internet, popularly called as social networking has become an effective means of connection between the people?


Well why were these sites being created as they become popular now?  Well answer lies in the word itself “social network”, it’s a forum we can say so that people feel connected with their friends socially by means of web. But is it properly standing out the purpose or it has just become the storm in the cloud??
Well people are feeling free to express almost everything openly in these social networking websites, by everything I mean to say almost all the things. My words should not be taken otherwise but people started sharing their personal matters which should not be publically opened also, in this stuff. For e.g. I saw a girl posting in one of the social network websites the colour of her nail paint which she just have changed , is that really matter to the world who is connected with her?
Of course no!!! not at all. Well I know that there are certain security measures being taken into account for these websites but what if we are throwing our security out by ourselves & becoming pray to it. I would like to share a small incident here, a college going girl who was not having any of her account in social networks was made to be criticize by  her friends just because somebody in her class , just for making fun created a fake account of her in the website & started using it unduly & posted such worst comments that should not been mean to anybody. Now what reaction you can feel that girl can have, humiliation is a word for it u call then pardon me, I think she was harassed. Many of such girls & boys become victims of such activities. Today I can say that these social networking website for whatever purpose they have been created for are becoming the epitome of cyber crimes. Well there was certain survey for it too, University of Berkline has surveyed it that people using social networking websites from 2009 has increased by 82% now in 2011, & moreover people have taking out less of their time for other important things specially work, studies , quality time with families because of sitting hours in front of these websites.
Today a guy meeting an unknown girl gives a friend request to her in these kind of websites & slowly by chat , messages they got each other’s no.   & they started involving themselves in a relationship today it is popularly known as “networks mates”, well it is “made for each other” kind of thing & for this situation I have only a word well “congratulations” now social networking has become bharat matrimony also. My grandfather told me that relations are made in heavens, it seems people has found there new heaven,” the social networking”. I mean come on give me a break well a boy I never met with just by cheeking his profile in a website I am in a relationship, well god curse upon me!!!!! I must say.
The problem lies that I have become more open on the websites like these rather that in reality.
I have started sharing my internal matters which should not be shared publically to these social networking websites more often so don’t you think that my private life is getting disturbed I think its better to say it’s getting ruined.
You wlil feel happy to listen & I will feel relax to listen that one of the inventor of World Wide Web (www) Mr. Tim Burner Lee has criticizes one such social networking websites he said “ the social structure of society has been demolished by these social networking websites”. Just to add to all your worthy mind that google has decided to close off its Gmail contacts to one of the social networking website because of its harassing private life of Gmail users.
Well we mu can see the bad echoes of these sites in our era. I know &I I must admit that this has become an easiest way for our dear & near ones to be in contact with us but is it really making us secure or are we containing ourselves to our near  dear one only????
Albert Einstien has said that” world war 3 will be with nuclear weapons & world war 4 will be with sticks & bone” & I believe that if there will be a war then it will be of this social media around us & the world war 5 as it should not happened but if happens it will be with our webpage, relationship status in some networking site & hey how my DP looks ? ? will be the war equipments!!!!
