These sites hook millions of people and now it is a haven for online fanatics yet becoming so engrossed to this sites is like part of the system waiting to be exorcised.
Let’s try to look at it on two levels since these sites meant something beyond. Some consider it as a balderdash because for them its a waste of time, money and energy to let some portions of their lives live online. Others clashed the idea by saying that just by doing doing stuff online can a coping mechanism to face their everyday circumstances.
First level of analysis,is the fact that we may find ourselves restrained by geographybut by the internet ,we can see and explore the world regardless of boundaries. On the second level lets say you may change your facebook status so fast yet things seen and done can be quite deceiving.Plus engaging in areal friendship is much better than by just adding your so called friends on the net.
