Re:Social Networking Sites and addiction (Score 1)

I totally agree with you when you say people are getting addicted to different social networking sites. I would say it has become even worse. I have a friend in Spain that whenever I like to talk to her, she asks me to enter a game-site. On this site http://www.pokerroom.com/es/ you are able to ask friends to join you and play poker on private tables and talk while playing. It's just like she wants to do all at once: eat, socialize, take care of her children and earn some money, all at the same time. I understand that with new technology comes new ways of living, but hasn't it become a little bit extreme? When we try to do all at once, we miss to nurture our relations and we tend not to talk to each other,not about things that really matter. The more we try to communicate with the world around us, the less we actually say things that matter. Perhaps it's time to try not to live our lives according to different sites and try to talk to people on the street and try to be real?
