Some Drawbacks About Social Network

 Rima Saha , 24 years old, MBA student (name changed)

loves to make new friends in Facebook and Wechat. Share

almost everything with them. “Feeling alone”, “watching movie”,

“enjoying cold coffee”, “at Aquatica”, even after knowing exam is

nearby and its time to study, she wasted her time by updating

status like “It's time to study”…!!!

26 years old, Surya Dutta (name changed) works at a

reputed company, after completing software engineering. He has

a bright future as he is hard working and talented, but he is

addicted at social networks. At first he used to connect with his

friends through office computers during working hours. The

upper Management was alert and to make their employees

concentrate on their work, they blocked the way to get into any

social networks. But modern science has gifted us smart phones,

through which Surya continued the same avoiding the close

circuit cameras.


These things are normal for young generation. Most of them are

addicted to these social networks and spend hours with it. Many

of them have more than one account, in Wechat, Facebook,

Line, like networks.

Because of this addiction, sometime students forget their

classes, exams, appointments also. They keep chatting and send

messages even when they are walking on the streets or crossing

the road. Accidents also don't make them aware. Interesting

thing is that the young generation, which is famously known as

Gen-Y, is very busy and they are habituated to do multi-tasks.

But the truth is most of them are busy with their social network

friends and the virtual world. They don't bother about the real

world or the facts which are surrounded by them. As a result they

tend to lie and bluff with their friends. Some believe in the lies

and some don't. Value of friendship has gone down so much that

a simple click can start it or it can break it. The young generation

nowadays doesn't trust their childhood friends; but they like to meet with unknown “friends”, share phone numbers and other personal details. The

use of social media has become so easy and widespread that notorious people use it for wrong reasons.


Young people use the spellings of social networks even when

they are writing formal documents as they tend to be shorter and

easier to type. They generally write thanks as “10X” or “thnx”, time

as “tym”, morning as “mrng” night as ”nyt” or “ni8”, then as “den”,

tomorrow as “2morw”. They are confused whether the spelling is

“college” or “collage”, because they are habituated to write “clg” in

short, and they welcome their friends by saying “wlcm” instead of

“welcome”.

They hardly spend time with their parents, instead they like to talk

with them through the chat box. Even when they go out with their

family or friends, then also they keep touch with their social

network friends and keep them informed by updating status. They

always keep in touch of what is going on in these networks; they

are always in a hurry to put comments, likes and replies in their

own photos and status, as well as in others.

The present generation is energetic, multi-talented but they are

wasting their energy because of this addiction which is hampering

their careers.

At the end it is important to say that social network is not bad if we

are not addicted to it. It helps to keep touch with friends and

relatives those who stay in other city or abroad. We hardly get

scope to meet with them, but it makes easy to get them through

these sites. It is possible to share photos and videos of memorable

moments and people get opportunity of video conferencing also.

Anything too much is bad for us, and that is what happening for

this generation. Social networks should be used but keeping some

limitations.

LET’S DO TOGETHER

Sandip Mitra HR-Professional   This time I was really confused what should be my topic of writing. I was thinking about several subjects and trying to select one of them. In the morning of 15 th August, like all of us, I was very happy and enjoying our Independence Day. The day is very emotional also for us, as we feel love and pride for our country. Suddenly a point struck in my mind. What about other days of the year? Do we feel the same love for our country? I feel that, most of us like to criticize our nation for its various problems and drawbacks throughout the year. We just put examples of other countries and compare with them. The youth which is our future also do the same thing. They think that there is not much opportunity to build their career in our country. Most of them want to move abroad to fulfill their dreams. Yes, we have many problems; we are lagging behind than other developed countries. Numerous people do not get proper food, drinking water, ed...
