"Social" networking sites

We all know the role played by social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and even Blogger in the lives of Netizens today! We Netizens want to prove that we are social. But all I've realised is that these sites have only made me an introvert! I've realised that I'm not able to express my views directly to someone, looking into their eyes. But if we are to convey something through these sites, it's no big deal for us... The dependence created by these sites is seriously harmful! We start living a "virtual" life... With our computer or any other device like the mobile phone we are able to access a whole lot of social networking sites... These devices become our body (don't ask me how... hmm okay let me put it this way... The power supply and data connection become our breath, the RAM of the computer becomes our heartbeat, the OS becomes our brain and the hard disk becomes our memory), and the websites become our life!
Without any of these we cease to exist!
Isn't that a pathetic condition, that some inanimate object controls us and it lives our life?!
It's high time we went out and experienced the real world! Feel the breath of fresh air! After all socialisation can be done with your neighbour too... Aaha I meant your real neighbours, and not your Farmville neighbours! ;) :)



PS: I am not an exception to all these. But with this post, I take it as a message to myself!
