Hello readers
hope you are doing great.
“We speak not only to tell other people what we think, but to tell ourselves what we think. Speech is a part of thought.”
But the big question is are we overdoing it? Though there are mixed answers on this, we think, the answer is yes.
Overdoing.
The most important thing to be addressed is it could lead to addiction. One feels that he/she has to be online for chats, checking others profile and so on. A day may come where there could be rehabilitation centres for the excess users of Facebook. Keeping everything in balance is what is very essential in one’s life.
Even when we think from the security point of view these firms do not seem to be as transparent as we think, we have seen numerous cases,of user accounts being used by many famous detective agencies for data mining, which is a serious blow to one's privacy.
The famous photo of 6 friends meeting to eat in a good hotel, but not talking each other, instead just staring at their screens was an iconic display of this new trend.
Let’s open up and show real emotions, make people show what is real happiness, rather than sending emojis, for the sake of sending it and just feeling dull inside.
Living with hope.

Social networking has become the need of the hour in this technological world, we all depend a lot on this, why is that? The simple answer would be man is a social animal, he always wants company and people to talk to we totally accept that.
But the big question is are we overdoing it? Though there are mixed answers on this, we think, the answer is yes.
Overdoing.
When we say overdoing there are certain reasons why we say so: The first and foremost reason would be time; we are spending less time in communicating or conveying that message to the intended person, suppose you want to talk to a neighbour who is just 2 houses away from you, and you want to ask them if there was a power-cut in their house, we could have just walked and enquired, but we prefer a phone call, or rather whatsapp, SMS and so on actually we are not against this but, the point is we have stopped talking to people face -to-face which is the traditional way of communication.
We have seen people who say “I prefer chatting rather than talking to that person on phone or meeting him, when we ask him or her the reason, he replies that he has fear of facing people!

We would have heard about the concept of introverts and extroverts.After the advent of smart phones and the great softwares like the android, IOS, windows mobile and many more, the dimension of communication has reached new heights.
The whole world is connected through internet, apps and the cloud servers.
But there is always 2 sides of a coin, we are referring to the increase in the use of smart phones and social networking apps and personal conversation which have become centres for gossip, sharing immature stuff and rumours, which is growing at an alarming rate let us start using these devices to share knowledge and pleasant thoughts.
Recently an US health safety organisation published an article about the new psychological depression which is caused due to people expecting quick replies from the people whom they chat with, and start thinking ill about them leading to great misunderstanding creating hatred towards each other and breaking valuable relationships.
How many of us use Facebook productively? We are not against the fun part of it, but there are lots of things that could be learned through Facebook.
It is very important for us to be connected with the people and it is a great platform to meet many people. It has an impact on people of all ages, If a women uploads her picture this could result in two ways: young girls would envy that picture and few could really appreciate it. Chances of misusing that picture could also be not ruled out.Too much sharing of personal content on the world wide web is not so safe.
