I agree massively with the statement "social networks don't bring us closer together" it's quite possibly the truest statement I've seen on paper in a long time. Whilst social networking is a fantastic tool for staying in touch quickly and efficiently, with friends across the globe, it's also a form of escapism for keyboard warriors, who cannot face real life. Social networks are a way to say things to other people in a way that masks inner feeling, but in my opinion, you're not saying it to the person on the other side of the web, you're talking to a screen with no feelings which aparantly suffices for human emotion. People of emotional capability are becoming vastly desensitized to others opinions and values due to the lack of emotional prosperity in solical networks.
I understand how others may believe websites such as Twitter and Facebook are fantastic for "keeping updated" and yes I agree they are, however, some people take this "keeping updated" to an extreme level thus demolishing their ability to understand others and their feelings.
I think that social networks are good as long as face to face communication is kept intact. As soon as the facal communication is lost so is the humanity.
