7.Social Networking and Its Effect
Social networking has become an unquestionable part of our everyday lives.Those who have a life on the Internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world.Nowadays,a reputation online is more important.Some are even finding a way to make a living online.Social media seems to have quite the impact,especially on teenagers.
Years ago,before social networking existed,friends would go out and have a good time,and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people.Today,popularity means having a lot of followers on Twitter or Tumblr.Tumblr has its own way of creating"celebrities".Users are considered"Tumblr famous"if they have a high number of followers.Websites make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face.Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore; it is just about being known for absolutely nothing.
Social networking has its positives,considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds.Although this is extremely useful,it is also destroying our ability to make real life conversations.People are attacked over the Internet,but do not say a word to each other in person.Social media is preventing us from standing up for ourselves the way we should be.Facebook limits our conversations that we have with people,which is why it is always better to strike up a conversation in person instead of through a computer screen.Social networking destroys the true meaning of human interaction.
Teens are finding new ways to make a living out of advertisements that they post on their social networking pages.Social networks allow them to make money without even getting up off the couch.Being out in the real world and working creates ways to communicate and is a crucial part of life,but that will be destroyed if young teens think it is okay to just make money through social media.Social networking makes things easier,but that does not always mean that it makes things better.
Social networking affects young lives and causes teens to grow up differently from how their older relatives have.They rely on their blogs and pages to communicate with people,keep up with the latest trends and enjoy their separate little world.Social media has ruined how life should be:fun,adventurous and exciting.Instead,it has turned most teenagers into anti-social couch potatoes.There needs to be a break from social networking so young people can once again live a real life in the real world.
