Boon or Bane - All for us to decide..

    In my opinion ,social networking sites today have played a major role in the under development of the human brain.Let me tell you why. While i was addicted to FB and before that to Orkut, i used to spend hours looking at what other people were doing instead of thinking about my own. I was to comment on each damn post and picture i came across. I used to make such statements which not only attract attention but spark a debate too and that too needed to happen in my wall. I connected to old lost friends but the mutual desire to even connect honestly was lost too. And then one fine day i sat thinking of exactly what i wrote just now. I am 30 and doing such things dont suit my age anymore. I needed to spend time more nicely if not efficiently. The next finer day, i gave up everything that had to do with networking. The withdrawal symptoms do get you as all of a sudden you got nothing to do. But slowly you will try to kill it with other activities like guitar, video games or books in my case. I am much freer man than i used to be. However i was lucky that FB, Orkut and their likes didnt get me when i was young and when my brain was developing and learning faster than the speed of light. I escaped. I feel bad looking at the young generation addicted to internet and loosing their prime time in their cozy houses sitting in front of their laptops while ideally they should have been in the field playing. Zuckerberg might be one of the richest man in the world today, thanks to FB but his dis-service to the society is beyond correction. Like the famous inventor of AK-47 , Mikhail Kalashnikov once said - "I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists".
