REFLECTION TASK 2   (Social Networking Sites)

    Do you believe real communication? And at the same time, do you use social networking sites? Sorry, but I don’t see any equal human relationship between these two situations. I could show you many several reasons for this. First of all, you talk with your friends without seeing each other’s faces. I cannot imagine how to be real connection between two people in this situation when there is no face to face communication. Beacuse there is no mimics, no voices and no other things that make you feel alive. Of course there are some tools such as camera, photos, voice recording system that make the conversation real. But still I don’t think that is actual touch. Secondly, in social networking sites, people share something that is important for them. For instance; in facebook, you can see a post like that “If you want to help African children, click the like button and this spread all around the world.” This is such a nonsense idea that is the most useless work in the world, for me. Since, you just post the idea with doing this. There is nothing about helping poor African boys or girls. Actually, in addition to its silliness, it must also embarrass you, as well.. There are more reasons for this “social networking sites” thing. But in general, these sites cause fake relationships between people, I think. Human should be in actual life with using living systems like seeing the person who is not in virtual environment but near to you...
