Caution: ahh- this is not amongst the usual posts like you have seen before on my blog, read with caution :P
Correct, at first look, it seems more obvious that the world is shrinking and coming together using new and fast growing social networks; but is it really? To some extent, yes, but to most, surprisingly, it's not. Don't agree? Okay, let me help you understand my views on this.

We (almost all) in today's world are using smartphones, its bringing the world together for sure, but, the question is whether its helping the ones near you bring closer? Is it helping you getting closer to your society? Is it helping bring you closer to your family? Not all would agree to me, I know and it's absolutely fine, but try giving it a second thought.
Especially in countries like India, we are keeping ourselves at a distance from the society we live in. Most of the times, we happen to know something or the happening at a places besides us through electronic media and when I say electronic media it covers social sites, news channels, etc. It's nothing wrong if you tend to hear about an incidence at a distant place but what if you hear about a place next to you? We are living in a nuclear society, often we don't even know who our neighbors are, which is neither good for you nor for the society.
I don't want to be mistaken that this post is against using social media but it's more about you getting closer to your family, your society. Devote quality time with those who matters to you the most.
With these thoughts in mind, I would take a pause and leave you to have a thought and post your comments.
