Is social networking too involved in our daily lives?

[Jesse]

It seems like everything we do is somehow linked to twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. What do you think will happen if people continue this behavior? How will it affect the way we socialize?

[Donna]

Yes it's taking over. It will affect us because we only know how to socialize over the internet, not in person.

Poop.

Personally, I find the anti-social network more of a problem. You know, the anonymous kind where you lose most of your inhibitions because no one knows who you really are. I think some people are taking those "social skills" and using them in real life.

I believe so, since we are on the digital age where people find it more convenient to connect with each other even if they are on the other parts of the world. The technology makes it easier for us to communicate and connect with others. Even games like Words with Friends has the same format, like what I read below. People play even if their opponent is on the other corner of the world, and chat with them at the same time.

There are pros and cons of being too involved in social networking. There will always be issues on privacy and many others. I think it is on the person on how he or she handles the situation. I believe that if a person is aware of his or her limits and responsibilities, there will be no any issues.

They will have withdrawls when the global energy crisis hits and they can't get on the internet.

Yes, I believe we use too much Internet, Facebook and everything. And if we keep relying in the web, it will eventually lead to a harder life because things are easily deleted, viruses and hackers are a threat and stuff like that. Facebook, MySpace and things like that are okay, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. But people putting their whole lives, photos, videos, addresses, phone numbers and everything personal on the Internet is a bad idea. I don't use the Internet much. Twitter is like always letting people know where you are and what you're doing. It's okay, but stalkers love it I'm sure. Too much is bad. A little bit is okay. Just don't go overboard. And be safe. That's what I say.
