Social Networking

I have objections for using this term. It refers generally to the social networking websites like facebook(which never shows the real face of a person) Twitter(people bark in the name of tweeting) and many other like Google+ etc. Netizens who are already addicted to the web world are getting more engaged due to these websites. I think using the term social networking is not appropriate for these web sites. Millions of people are being engaged in tweeting and chating with new friends but they are cut from the social life it seems. there are many groups on the webworld with names like a group for this cause and that. But I think the social life of such people is not so which is generally mentioned in their profiles.This sometimes can be called facebook activism. The word activism encompasses many factors and it is reflected in every aspect of a person.So in my view these social networking sites are shortening the role of a person in the society.Anyhow one cannot ignore the benefits of the webworld activism and social networking sites but benefits are less than the flaws.
