The urge to be gregarious seems to be reflected in this study.
Communication problems with the members of the family and clash of values,gross materialism and the view that whatever is,is here to stay makes one forget the values of human bonding.
Also too much of analyzing Life and emotions deprive the charm of Living.
Life is to be lived,not analyzed, reasons for everything will not be available and one should take Life as it comes and be happy with those near and enjoy company ,make others happy.
Nothing can substitute the pleasures of personal interaction.
The more faceless interaction, more lonely one becomes.
Two-thirds of online adults (66%) use social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or LinkedIn.1 These internet users say that connections with family members and friends (both new and old) are a primary consideration in their adoption of social media tools. Roughly two thirds of social media users say that staying in touch with current friends and family members is a major reason they use these sites, while half say that connecting with old friends they’ve lost touch with is a major reason behind their use of these technologies.
Other factors play a much smaller role—14% of users say that connecting around a shared hobby or interest is a major reason they use social media, and 9% say that making new friends is equally important. Reading comments by public figures and finding potential romantic partners are cited as major factors by just 5% and 3% of social media users, respectively.
Those who say that keeping up with family members is a major consideration in their use of social networking sites are a demographically diverse group. Two-thirds of all social media users cite family connections as a major reason for their use of these tools, and there are no major differences on this question in terms of age, income, education, race/ethnicity, parental status or place of residence. The primary difference on this topic pertains to gender, as female social media users are more likely than male users to cite family connections as a major reason for using these sites (72% vs. 55%).
