Will a day come when I committed Social Suicide…?
We are living in the social world, hooked on the one or many social networking sites anywhere – everywhere home, offices or mobiles handsets. It’s hard to believe these sites have changed the course of internet surfing. During the past years there has been a rapid growth in global users on many social networking sites. Globally consumers average time spend on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace etc. is more than five and half hours which shows we live almost 25% of the day on social networking sites. This figure is only to rise, as more and more Smartphones like Android, Iphone, Blackberry and others usage grows and with 3G technologies we are further pushing ourselves in the black hole.
I constantly update status messages, comment/post on pictures/videos, gaming, quizzes and other applications. Similarly there are millions who go online to get engaged on social networking sites. For example approx 206.9 million unique visitors on facebook month on month.
Although Social Networking Sites offer a great deal of social engagement & entertainment one could ever get bored??? Well I know many who got bored of Orkut and couple of other social networking site and have completely deleted their tweets, pictures, accounts from the sites. Well the question is to each one “Will that day come when you also commit social suicide?” And if so then what’s next??
Scary isn’t it but when the day comes we will be moving on with time to a new generation…
