Is Social Media Changing us? or is it Killing us ? my analysis and your verdict!!!

Social media has changed from small drops to a big tycoon drop (yeah I know my own invention  :-) ) . It has also captured many of our imagination. Facebook, Twitter, Google+ are some famous media where people interact. Twitter has evolved from small micro blogging site to a big marketing tool. When it comes to reaching to your fans or customers there is no better way than twitter. While Facebook shares a less popularity, it too deserves to be credited since it is more visually pleasant than twitter and people get to interact in more ways. Now, where does this interaction lead to? Is it good? Or, is it bad? While the answer, if you ask me, is YES, it is SWEET !!! But wait, there is more to it than being just an interaction tool. Facebook and Twitter have changed the way people meet and get personal. Gone are the days when people meet each other and come to a conclusion if they can be friends or ??? Whatever!!! Now, these social media sites have revolutionized how people meet or get personal. Now, just a friend request is enough and the conversation goes from ‘you look cute’, ‘don’t you like me’, ‘I love you’ and finally to ‘Can we have sex?’. Oh god!!! What is happening to this world?? Yes, it sounds sweet when you don’t have to go out with her two to three times or maybe forever just to have sex. But come on!! Is that not like taking a stranger into your bed or life all of a sudden?? What about privacy? What about safety?? What if someone hacks your account and steals all your personal photos and morph them into ….. ???  Lol!!! Won’t it be nice if they morph you into George Clooney But, seriously this is rubbish!!! Yes, it is fun, interesting and useful when you need to keep in touch with your old pals or wanna share your vacation photos to your buddies. But what are we doing with it? The more drastic effect is people are turning into couch potatoes!!! Yes, potatoes are good!! But you can’t be a couch potato. The day begins with Facebook and ends with Facebook. Whoof!!! Can’t imagine a life without Facebook they say!!! So, I ask them, were you living in planet Niburu till 2005?  Now, here comes Twitter. Wow!! This micro blogging site is a junkyard. People pour in their useless promotions, ads, ideas and what not. As far as I know only STARS get the attention, tweets and re-tweets, not an ordinary guy …. It is hard to make someone follow you… Do u know that? Well, I realized this fact, the moment I started using Twitter But it is a good advertising tool. So, we come back to the same question, “Is social media good or bad?” Yes!! It is really good since people share their ideas, thoughts, views and world becomes more public. You can have a friend who is in New Zealand but you may live right opposite side of the world… But a right dosage should do. The moment you overdo it, you get paralyzed, you freak out and start worshiping. It is not going to do any good to you since you finally become a COUCH POTATO!!! YES POTATOES ARE GOOD BUT NOT THE COUCH ‘Y’ ONE’S ….
