Civilization has grown in leaps and bounds after the advent of the Internet. Social media has taken a hold of all our hobbies and other parts of life that we enjoyed. To think that today 30% of the people using a Social Networking website only try and do interesting things to brag about or to put up on the internet. I know certain people who only do things to gain attention. It's almost like a war of likes and comments for people, Often judging each other by the plastic and frozen images of our profile. Whatever happened to kids playing football or cricket or going out for a swim. 

                   When I was at school we never had cityville, farmville or Mafia wars, though we still had a lot of fun. I heard this argument going on between two teen aged girls the other day, about one of them not liking the others status update. Facebooking is now an avid hobby of almost all people. Whatever happened to reading a good book or listening to some music. Sad as it is, even when people are pursuing reading or listening to music, they inadvertently put up a status message, Mentioning what they read or what they listened to. For some people facebook is a way of portraying themselves to be cooler than others, for another more sinister and dangerous type of person it is a sea of unsuspecting people to hack and stalk others.  

                   On a lighter note, take for instance the diljala majnu stereotype,  Earlier when one got their heart broken it was the human network or society and people in and around others gave him information, When some one's  Laila was missing. In our times, he was merely singing sad songs, or playing them on stereos and drinking in dingy bars,  Now he is on Facebook, searching and researching almost everyday, for the a glimpse of his love.  Its like his emotions have transferred on the plastic frozen images and the familiar blue pane of Facebook.  Since our emotions are much more complex than trying to learn qwerty. He will sadly end up posting silly sad updates, dedicating songs to people who don't wanna look at them, wish birthdays to others on his own wall, drinking all the while, he no longer hounds her house like the old days, instead he chooses to try and scan through mutual friends images for a glimpse of her.  Its pretty typical of old, and damn funny to boot.
