social networks, issues that arise due to social networks

Social networks are now becoming part of our lives, especially the young generation. Although they inform us on what is happening around us they come with bad things for example people who use false identity in hi5, facebook etc. People tend to use a false identity which at the end of the day does not help inform but misinform people. Everyone on social networks tends to be successful and high up the ladder, if people become more genuine and use these for their origional purpose. How many people in our days can take the time to go out and have lunch with a friend or meet people on the streets and just have a conversation with them? What social networks do is make us be able to have conversations with people we do not know and instead of going to visit a friend we just get hold of them through messaging them on line or chating with them on chat sites. Is this who we really are or is technology detecting the kind of people we should be and the kind of lives we should live. If we really look at it we are slowly but surely being controlled by these technologies for example when one recieves a text message on their phone they reply the message without even hasitating or disrupt their conversation when their phone rings and answer it. So take a minute and think about what these networks do to our lives.
