Socially Struck by Social Sites ?! Or is it Communication Counterfeit?!

When using a social network, you name it Facebook (fb), Twitter, Bebo, or the very first one Myspace, people are automatically transmitted, self centred to a parallel dimension where emotions, attitudes, points of view and social activities are exchanged in order to accomplish popularity or interest in other beings. Nowadays one self is not part of what is happening around him if he does not participate to blogging, networking, emailing and other such things. Therefore the human being feels important and independent, capable of making decisions on its own, estimating whether his life is to be considered "fun" or even "interesting" to others. Mohandas Gandhi quoted that Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being. So to speak we understand how a human being feels reassured, protected by acting like every body else around him, in his same culture, sorrounding. 

Social networks nowadays are an institution, a way of thinking, why not an emotional indicator?

When one self is sad, happy, angry at someone, married, divorced, engaged etc. he communicates it on fb, he uploads it on his smart phone via twitter and them new social media relators. Why not make it public to the whole world so that every person considered your friend can actually understand and come to the rescue. No!! People want attention; thay are not satisfied with all the things surrounding them and tend to find an anchor in there "remedies" in order to have compassion and why not pity from people close to them. Call it a secret diary where the lie lies in the word secret, since every sillable is made popular amongst your 400 or more friends of life. Its a way to start conversation, a way of wasting time common to all of us that attracts more and more people becoming a big society, planet. The appropriate word is sharing, whereas twitting, chatting and them other sinonims all contribute to social attitudes. Latins used to say cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am. But today its all about I'm social therefore I am. I have a life I want to share with mates, family, colleagues therefore I deserve a prize and an applause because, yes, I have friends who want to know about what I'm on about. 

Facebook's catch phrase if you wish is "Connect and share with friends". Immediately you connect and everything you do is shared amongst peers. Moreover when something happens, is read on fb, twitter and the rest, people feel something in response. They might feel sad if someone they knew dies, they might smile if a friend gets engaged with their long time lover, they might burst into tears if their relationship status turns into single from married it was. 
Once it was alla bout letters and waiting a few weeks for the receiver's response. Now you take out your smart-phone, you press from 3 to four icons and there you go, fresh news on your wall, status, of where you're at, what you thinking, hoping, sensing and people just know every step you gonna take and why.
