Are There Side-Effects With This Networking?

Social Networking! The revolution that took over our society, to say the least.. It (social networking) is our culture now. Its everywhere! It's what we eat, sleep, drink, watch, eat again, do in any of our spare time, and even after that time is up. We are obsessed.. It has to be unhealthy how obsessed we are with social networking.. I'm beating around the bush I suppose, but I had to make the point that it effects us as individuals now. I was able to come across a couple of pages that helped give great examples of negative/ positive feedback and a sense of understanding the social network culture. It has been expressed that social network users spend about 22% of their time surfing the web of social networking sites and finding ways of branching out. It's even suggested that, or made claim, one out of five relationships in 2012 was made possible by social networking sites. They say about 60% of the world's population is active online today. This can bring so many effects to our lives.

Positive attributes that can result from our new network life are as follows:

Easy, fast, and immediate communication.

New ways of marketing yourself, business, and or ANYTHING..

Creating new methods of being creative, through writing, digital photography, and blogging.


Negative attributes to this new social life consists of:

Over exposure to violence, sexual content, drug use, you name it.

Becoming to personal in a public setting across the whole internet.

And unhealthy addictions to social media sites.


Personally I can relate to all of these effects that social media has bestowed upon us throughout the past few years. And as it progresses I feel we will have to learn how to incorporate it more effectively then it already is in the current state.
