In this article here they are criticizing the negative effects that social networking is having on our generation which is the cause of more isolating in our generation. I do agree that because of the development of social networking, it has lead to less real human interactions because we all communicate through social networking. Even when we don’t communicate through social networking, nobody likes to talk on the phone much anymore so you will see that it is more common for people to be more into texting each other instead of picking up the phone and calling someone which is the authors point that there is more cyber communication and less real human interactions between us.
I believe that social networking hurts the kids who are in elementary school and Junior High School more than it does those who are in their 20’s. The reason I believe this is because they are missing out on the life of a kid and don’t go out and hang out with their friends as much because they are more concerned with being on Facebook on their computer. So in a way they are leaving in more of a cyber world than any other generation because they are all texting or participating on social networking such as twitter.
I actually think social network does more good than harm for our society today. It’s just another form of communicating and it actually means that you are communicating with more people than you were before. Before the development of social networking, we pretty much only got the opportunity to communicate with those people in our phone book but now we are able to communicate with people we have not seen in 10 years. I think that those people who are so critical of social networking just have not accepted the fact that this is a new form of communicating worldwide and are still not used to it.
