In Modern age , many things that are luxuries or made for convenience are used as if they are necessity.For example Mobile Phone , Computer and especially the Social Networks ( But i call them Unsocial Networks).Social Networks Include websites like Facebook, Orkut ,Twitter and many others.They were designed in order to make the world close to each other , decrease the distances between cultures and societies. Un-fortunately as every thing in today's system has been hijacked by some bad elements of society ,these so called social networks are full of them.
These Bad elements of societies make many different accounts with different names and share garbage of their mind.That garbage is shared by everyone in just having fun and then it becomes the trends which has nothing to do with the logic or Knowledge.Some people around me think that it is only in Pakistan and India but the reality and statistics show that the most ghost accounts are registered in United States of America.Yes ! They are making the worst out of these websites.In Past years you will see many songs got great response just by these "Useless" shares.For Example "Kola Veri" and "One Pound Fish" were most watched videos of YouTube and believe me a person who has little bit knowledge of Music will say that "These Songs are not music they are Noise...with no particular Frequency or tone".They got the publicity just by these fun shares done on Networks today.This is one of the reasons that people listen to these kinds of songs and then forget them for ever.Another trend which i have seen on the Facebook was "Egypt Revolution" ,Facebook gained many publicity that time and people thought that the revolution has arrived but as we all know nothing has changed in that area,they are in a mess continuously after that.
Now come towards Picture Sharing in Social Networks....it is the worst part of these websites.People took pictures of People without knowing them or with false methods and upload them.That picture is spread all over the web ,anybody who wants to share can share ,wants to modify can modify ,wants to use anywhere can use.People should realize that it is the most obvious unsocial act which they are doing by using these so called Social Networks.Recently i witnessed that a student took snaps of his Teachers without knowing them edited and uploaded on FB.Not know about the other countries but in my Country our ladies are so much dignified that they don't want any stranger to see her face,they are not like western countries where the ladies have not enough dignity.Girls upload there photo as profile pic and made it private but the reality is that their photo can be downloaded easily.I always advice my Female students and dignified ladies not to upload their pic on any social network.People edit the pic , made that comic pic and then the people start commenting on that useless thing,is this the methods to use it??No certainly not.Believe me if somebody tries to use it in a good method to tell the truth or share any knowledge nobody respond to that .I used Fb for almost two years ,ran a page "Stop Destruction" to share the knowledge about mass weapons ,only 10 % responds to my posts because i was sharing something serious .Facebook deleted my Group saying i am spreading false things on their site but i was sharing the truth with proofs from different websites, videos and reliable sources.
For the sake of argument, if i agree that saying wrong words are prohibited on fb then why they never deleted the page against my Beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W or why they didn't stop the event Burn Quran Day???Because i was using their site in right manner like social networks should be used but they want just fun.Shame of themFacebook is not a virtual Postman Pat who delivers letters, parcels and bills. No, Facebook is like standing in the street, megaphone in hand, yelling your message to neighbors and passers-by. If it is a bit of gossip, be prepared for everyone to spread it. If it is an invitation, be prepared for a mob to turn up.so always share anything with great responsibility
These networks has also created lack of confidence in our youth.People are not brave enough to talk with their friends, cousins and neighbors face to face because they are not used to with it they are used to only type the words ,upload the pictures and just chat.When i call a student (who is very popular on social network) to explain something in front of the class he/she always fails they have no guts to speak something face to face of a person.

Truth about Facebook |
Good article. Agree with your every single word! Especially what you have said about photo sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much,yes to make these networks "Social" the photo sharing of any other person have to be stopped
DeleteYes Sir,instant communication of social networking sites is very similar to that of instant messaging services. Many folks don't want to be bothered with correct spelling or grammar, and resort to the abbreviations and "net-speak" that can drive others crazy. It's best to just get used to this sort of thing if you plan on spending lots of time on these sites.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amir for adding this point , this point was missing but yes i agree that it has also changed our language and it has done in a wrong way.
DeleteBut Sir how can we communicate with the world if we stop using Social Networks?i agree that many people are using in a wrong method but is it important to use it or not?
ReplyDeleteAs i said using any social network is a good thing but if it is done in a wrong way but it is never a basic requirement or a fundamental thing for any of a person.If you are using it in a good manner , to share information , to know about different cultures and if you want to bring people closer to you and your community...it is a good thing.But i am very sorry to say that almost nobody is using it in a good manner.Hope you get the answer of your question.

ReplyDeleteExcellent,amazing article....but i want ask a question from you what about your opinion fb users:)should do use or not?
I feel if somebody really needs to use fb he or she can but i also feel that they should use that in right manner or something that gives something to society otherwise if somebody uses it for no reason then it is a waste of time ..that is my opinion
ReplyDeletePeople can even get new things for their games online
ReplyDeleteas they come out. Similar chat rooms were used
by the alleged terrorists arrested recently
in Toronto and Miami. You could possibly encounter a similar
successful folks on social networks consistently.
