Everyone knows that the Internet has become very important in our life, and now we can’t imagine our life without visiting our pages in social networks at least once a week. On the one hand, it is good because we can chat with a cousin that runs practice in another country, or former classmates with whom we can’t find time to meet…
And all it we can do without leaving home. However, the effect of social networks on the person worries scientists from around the world more and more. The results of their scientific research are quite disappointing. Let’s try to understand what is good and what is bad concerning social networks. As for me, I think that social networks are a great danger for modern society.
Let me introduce my arguments. Firstly, people have a certain dependence on online social networks. They need to constantly check: whether they have increased their rating, who has rated their photos, and who has added as his new virtual friend. Secondly, people wean off live communication and get more adapted to the virtual one. They express their emotions through "smiles", and that is the most terrible, they allow themselves too much greater freedom and irresponsibility for their words. Thirdly, people sitting in front of screens or using their devices to talk "online" waste much time which could be spent with much use. They could go out with their friends, walk in fresh air, and not spoil their eyesight in front of computer monitors. They might work, and, in fact, it isn’t so difficult to start a new acquaintance jogging in the park...
But other people have their own opinion on this problem. They believe that social networks are useful and even necessary for some segments of society. People with disabilities have an opportunity to communicate with other people and express their points of view while in real life they are deprived of the freedom of action. They can’t meet with someone in the park or share phones with the same fan of the music group met at their concert as healthy people do. For most of these people communicating in a social network is the only way not be alone in this world, have buddies and associates, even in the Internet and hundreds of miles away.
I can’t completely disagree with this point of view, but when it comes to healthy people, who is caught in non-existent images and lost amongst the fictional friends? They certainly need to be rescued...
In conclusion, I would like to stress that social networks really occupy an important place in the life of most modern people, but the question is: how many times a day does a person communicate virtually and doesn’t it replace real communication? If you read and respond to these questions with “yes", then you have nothing to worry about, but if otherwise… I personally advise you: disconnect from all chats at least for a couple of hours and go for a walk… It will be great! Listen to birds singing, feel the spring!
