SOCIAL NETWORKING DESTROYS US.

What would it feel like to have a good socially established friendship? With all the
newly advanced technology it is not an impossible thing to make friends via the web..
With the creation of various social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and
others it is a like making friends is only at your fingertips. But, spending lots of time in
front of the computer will not going to get you any true friends unless you spend time
with them and getting to know each other well. There are many bad-effects of excessive
use of this social networking in our daily life.
Lets take a look at the first one, excessive use of this social networking will
degrade in terms of schools performance. For students schools performance is the
main thing that will separate from failure to successor. I agree to this given point why?
Because the excessive use of social networking has somehow change the verbal
language that we usually speak and write. In social network world we often use simple
word to express our thoughts and idea but what we can see happening right now is that
the simple word that was use sometimes being brought up in students work. This is not
a good sign as it destroys the essence of the language. So relating it all up, social
networking cause students mark to be degraded and that can be seen in students work
nowadays.
For those employees, if you want to keep on to your job you better not be doing
any social networking when you are working. The consequences of you social
networking in work time can get you fired. A study has been carried out recently
regarding how workers spend their working hour. The results show that 72% employees
in every company spend 1 1.5 hours doing social networking. Can you imagine it? I
strongly agree with the fact that that we should not do any social networking on this one
because, when we were given a secured job why not we do it honestly and with a lot of
dedicative. Unless you like to go on a job hunt, you can keep on doing your social
networking thing until you received a pink slip with a big FIRED in it.

Next up, it also affects our social bonding with other people. For example, if you
are celebrating your friends birthday or your wedding anniversary is it worth it just only
posting greetings on their social network profile rather than go and celebrate with them.
Or in a case if someone was admitted into the hospital, is it appropriate for you to just
send a get-well note on their profile rather than go visit them to ask about them. Which
one is the best you think? For me, I agree in the sense that our bonding with other will
be affected if we only cooped up ourselves by facing the computer screen everyday
only to say hi to your friends.
Believe it or not, over usage of social networking may lead to an unhealthy
lifestyle. To explain this last point, I will relate this phenomenon to an epidemic that
somehow in recent years has gotten everyone in the world to be affected by it. It does
not affect in term of disease spread or not. The epidemic here refers to the users having
a hard time getting enough sleep. This is a bad thing especially for students, with the
excitement of social networking with other it has caused them to somehow lost track of
the time. After they had finished, they realised it is already early in the morning so with
little time to sleep this will make them unfocussed when they are in the class. Same also
goes to them who are working, problems such as late top go to work, sleeping during
work and also stress of not getting much sleep will be experienced by them.
Social networking is not a bad thing actually, but with the stated effects it had
caused it to be something very terrible that leave behind very bad effects to us. I would
agree to that, and I would say that we should think about spending our time with it. Bear
with it that not by advancement in technology only that enables us to find friends but
there are also other way that can be used to be socialized rather than facing the
computer all the time.
