f2f communication takes the back seat

It is really funny how social networks have taken over .We have gotten to a point were our life revolves around these networks  you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do before even getting out of bed is to check you're cellphone , while you driving you texting , when you at a meeting you texting we are constantly click clicking  and check what is happening in and around the world , yes don't get me wrong getting with the times is never wrong , if fact its the way to go  . But it doesn't have to be in the expense of your happiness . People tend to prioritise social networks so much . Internet has made the world such a small place . We have development after development every single day . Weather or not its good , we still question . because Internet has taken out the fun in socialising people hardly every see each other just because you can just send an sms , a bbm , skype , watsapp you name it . Communication is at the tip of your finger . Yes it might have its many advantages but its got its disadvantages too , one which gets to me alot is the lies , you will hear people speaking on the phone saying they at home while they at a shopping mall , its so easy to lie because of social networks . Our profiles tell the world how happy we are and just how we enjoying life when in reality we  just lonely .We have become such an antisocial generation . Even when you are with people around you you are constantly worried about that tinny thing in your pocket that keeps vibrating . i really think we need to calm down just a little bit . Actually this has to start with me , alone , as an individual . Because as i write this post I'm literally taking 5sec breaks to read texts  . Yes social networks are convenient but we need to also take into considerence the importance of face-to-face communication . It is more real and satisfying ...actually i think its better *tossing phone in the bag * from this moment on , I am making a choice to spend my time usefully . New friendships cannot be made if your focus is on networks . You may never know the wonderful friendship that just slipped by , the client that could have changed the world for you as you know it , or the handsome soul mate that was about to ask you for a date had your cellphone not rang . www.helium.com .
