When Harry tweeted Sally

Social media and social networking has truly made the world to shrink.. Well not exactly in terms of size, but reach wise.

Gone are those days when people used to wait for the right opportunity to meet someone else in order to socialise with whom they wanted to communicate, meet, greet, and so on. but today people are just only one click away. All these made possible by the fastest growing trend called social media networking.

The trend of social networking is nothing of new to anyone. People socialise now and people used to socialise even before. But the method has been changed as before people used to socialise only by physical presence but not now by virtual presence. Socialising through virtual presence which is a current trend was started by which is vintage of sorts now called Internet chatting through modes of yahoo and MSN messenger which are still in existence but not in very large scale which taken over by the present modes and sites thanks to some innovative brains like Mr. Zuckerberg and others who introduced us to Face book, twitter and so on.

Social media networking is an in-thing at present. Who knows what might later take over this but right now, every one is having a rocking time due to this.

Any one can be a part of it, provided the minimum age requirement is satisfied moreover you need not be a complete lingual literate there is another literacy you need to acquire which is at least the basics of it called "Computer Literacy" .

Sometimes, I wonder that supposedly this trend was established much before then what all movies title we would have come across instead of the ones we had . Sample these

How to loose friends and alienate people /  How to block annoying tweeters.

This way i can go on and on... But in this all different planet called social networking we are all loosing the touch, the emotion we feel when we personally interact with someone who is physically present.

This trend has let to isolation of people from those who they claim to be closest with them through the so called social media  sites. I can give some examples of what can be foreseen if this trend continues to exist.

1) People who are just metres away might just post a comment on profile page of their friends requesting for something.
2) people with whom your relationship has gone sour might just unfollow you in twitter instead of resolving issues
3) To remove grudges guys might poke each other on Facebook.
4) Employee updating his dis-likeness for his boss on profile page might be noticed by his boss who must be his employees mutual friend.
5)Couples might get so lazy that they might get married and divorced just by updating their marital status as married/single.
6)Most importantly, people might just stop talking to each other one day just because they can just log in social networking sites and send message to update others.

Honestly speaking I am not someone who hates social networking. It is just that i pointed out that how we claim that the world is shrinking at this age of communication is not actually shrinking but expanding as individuals are getting physically isolated though coming closer to others virtually.
