Social Networking
I was looking for an interesting blog topic and stumbled upon social networking. I think it is an advantage in the sense that it keeps you connected with friends and relatives near and far. However, it also has its disadvantage to me being the fact that it decreases face-to-face interactions. A typical example is where you have children in the same house but different rooms chatting to each other on their laptops, PCs or even itouch. So, this brings us to my question: What, in your opinion, is the advantage(s) and/or disadvantage(s) of social networking?

I think one advantage of social networking is that it makes it easier to locate family members. For me I found some family members that are in places all over the world that I didn't even know of. That's one god thing because its helping us bring our family a bit closer together.
ReplyDeleteEven with that there is a sort of disconnect with social networking. The example you gave is a perfect one. There is no need for kids to be chatting from separate rooms with each other from the same house. They could be outside doig some kind of activity or even in the same room of talking to each other.
Social networking takes away certain intimacies that come along with havign a face to face encounter......But everything has its flaws.
