Social Networks: Live in your world. Interact in ours.

                           MySpace: 2003. LinkedIn : 2003 Facebook: 2004. Twitter: 2006. 

In the past decade, hundreds of social networks have been founded for people to communicate, organize our real-world relationships and even meet new people. All those things look and are fantastic. It is impossible not to recognize what social media has brought to the human being. 

Therefore, could social media have a negative effect on the human being and human relationships?

Consider this into account: 39% of Americans spend more time socializing online than in person and 20% of Americans prefer communicating online or via text message than face to face. 

Indeed, social networks has touched the human being and is deteriorating the relationships between them. We have arrived at a stage where it is possible to earn money and socialize by staying in front of your computer thanks to social media.

 Nowadays, some people prioritize social networks than real life. People have to be reminded to live in their world instead of trying to compose the perfect tweet or trying to Photoshop the pictures you put later on Facebook.

Social networks have created a parallel world, a world where everybody can decide who they are by posting or blogging whatever they are. Networks have become a sort of a second life where you have virtual worlds and avatars. Net workers presents themselves not as who they are but as who they want to be like. This creates a world of avatars who changes their personality  it is therefore impossible to know who someone is. This harms real-world human relationships.

It would be okay if the Social media was a second world where people can forget about their own world but because of the development of the technology in these Social networks, a part of humanity forgets which one is the real life. It is crucial for a human to not be controlled by the machine and to always know which is the real life. 

  Humans have to make the difference between their world and social media's as this quote shows:

 Live in your world. Interact in ours.
