Since the time i joined my IMBA program, there is one consistent message that i keep hearing from everyone... "Social media/Social networking is changing the world". Infact in a few extreme cases, i hear "Social media/Social networking has changed the world". I have never been a fan of facebook prior to my MBA and even today, when i spend atleast 30 mins every day on FB, i just dont get what is so special about this website. (I still call it a mere website while a few coleagues of mine refer to it as a "phenomenon")...... What baffles me further is the hype this thing called "social networking" has created around the world. I hear crazy things like "virtual currency"in FB which people buy by paying real cash. i find well educated seemingly sane people go mad to become the "mayor" of some kind of virtual location....
Guys, every one minute you spend on these websites is like wasting one precious minute of your life. No value add, just pure simple wastage of time.
Next release: my justifications behind this claim. And yes, i welcome you all to challenge me.
I completely disagree with this. For me, this is the best source get the update myself with new technologies and news. I don’t want to go to each and every product/gadgets/resource websites for check what is happening.
ReplyDeleteI subscribed everything is Facebook and twitter and I am getting updates from it.
Other than that I am the follower of many geeks, so that it is very easy to overcome any kind of problem which related to my work or life.
So.. Social networking is ROCKS..
Just as a coin has 2 sides, so does all these social networking sites. You can use it to build genuine connections and know what is happening around you or you can waste your time playing games or doing time-pass. Bring it on, any modern technology has it's ups and flips. You just cant stop using mobile phones today saying that people waste a lot of time blabbering on them. Well, if you do, then you are not harnessing the full potential of modern technology.
