Social Un-networking

We can not help but admit the fact that social networking has a significant influence on the way we interact with others and more importantly with ourselves. And it is almost a social compulsion that a person has to fulfill in order to be accepted by 'others' in the society.

However, had these advents in modern communications not been made, then how would the interactions on these channels be translated into our day-to-day communication. This is how it would have worked for me-

• Facebook: Standing in a crowded plaza and screaming out to people in order to get cognizance and appreciation from them.

• Twitter: Continuous blabber with details about every second of one's life, without really caring about whether or not the person in front of you is really interested in listening to you or not.

• Orkut: Going to a war-stricken, dead hamlet and screaming out ' Anybody here?'.

• Hi5, Wayn (etc..): Arrive at a place with deja-vu, and never know why or how you had come to this place before.
