Are
people getting addicted to Facebook and social media? How do these
social
websites
influence how people interact and behave?
We
can wonder why people need to use this technology. The real human
connection has been remplaced by a virtual connexion. The mediator
between interlocutors is a robot. Modernity is fast and sometimes
devastator. Indeed, the most people use Facebook and social media.
Young people are the biggest users. Old people also jump on it. They
share, tchat, communicate. We can find old friends and add new
friends. They become slowly addicted. Then completely. It's difficult
to get out of this spiderweb. Because this behavior becomes a
habitude.
The
human fears are simple. They don't want to feel alone. Facebook gives
them a feeling of connection with others (family, friends,
collaborators...etc). This is as the phone. We use it that to
facilitate the echange. I think human beings had antennas serving to
feel the mouvements of their brothers, their family members. They
have to have conscience that they are separated physically and
mentally with others in order to be unit with themselves and to be
free of the spiderweb.
Facebook
is a illusion of connection. In fact, the issue is the authentic and
sincere communication. Comunication have to become more human, more
real, more generous, more empathic, more attentive. People should say
what they have in his heart and take time to be alone. Be alone can
be benefit. Meditation is a nice therapy for know its identity and
grow its spirituality.
Despite
this, certain people consider social media as a miracle, the best
invention of the century. Facebook as a place of sharing, where we
can take informations. However, by dint of eating that soup, they
transform in a genius zombie who know everything about but not about
true life. No experience, no life. They take refuge in the virtual
life instead of look at their problems, their situation. Surf on the
web to forget life ?
Last
thing : today people have a lot friends online but how many are
real ? It's the important question that everyone have to wonder. Very
philosophical I know.
Quality or quantity ? We decide. Our way of life, our meaning of
life. Real or not real. Accepting the reality or not ? I am not
psychologist. Just a friend, your friend, your brother. You can be my
friend, a real friend.
