Twitter, Facebook and things like that....

When you say Facebook or Twitter, everybody will know, what do you mean. Facebook, Twitter - very powerful phenomenon of today. Millions of people have their account there. Even some of them are addicted to that! Some people claim, that these things are harmful for society, because lots of people just sit in front of the computer and they don't talk to their friends or relatives face to face, but just only through the medium of Internet or mobile phone. Yes, that's really true. We should think of it a lot....
But there are also thing, we couldn't manage face to face or it would be thousand times more difficult than via Internet. I think, that things like facebook or twitter can connect people, who would otherwise never met. And can also help people find people, who will support them, when their parents or relatives don't. I think it may be one of the reasons, why some people become addicted to it. Maybe these people found there something, what they can't find between their friends or family. Perhaps is our society "ill" in some way. For example when parents always work and have no time for their child, will this child search support and love in other places - between his or her friends on facebook, twitter,... People in different situations are trying to escape from their average lifes to the lifes, they would like to have. They can create twitter account as Johny Depp or Christina Aguilera or some other famous celebrity and life just for some time more interesting life than they have. And I think, that people start loosing their own identity this way. They start living completely different life... But it has a small problem - this one isn't real....
But where is the mistake? Who is responsible for this? I think, that we all are a bit responsible. But also MEDIA - such as TV or web. They are the most powerful in this way! They have a big power to form our mind. When someone in TV says, that wearing baggy jeans is cool - than guess, what happens! - everyone on the street will wear baggy jeans...
So is twitter or facebook good or evil? I can't say it. Anyway - they're really powerful.
