Bilo je vrijeme kada se religija smatrala opijumom za mase. “ Religija je opijum za ljude^{(Religion is the opium of the people)} ”, rekao je Karl Marx . Dobrodošli^(Welcome) u novi svijet u kojem su stranice društvenih mreža poput Facebooka^(Facebook) , Twittera^(Twitter) , LinkedIn -a , Instagrama^(Instagram) , SnapChata^(SnapChat) , TikToka^(TikTok) itd. sada novi opijum za netizene!

Ako je prva stvar koju želite učiniti kada se probudite ujutro, prijaviti se na svoj Facebook račun i vidjeti koliko Likes / Comments ste primili (ili ne), budite sigurni – zarobljeni ste!

Ne planirate se danas obrijati? ^{(Don’t plan to shave today?)}Da li tvitaš o tome i kažeš svojim 1000 čudnih pratitelja koji te ne poznaju da se danas ne planiraš brijati? Ili vam izaziva blagu depresiju kada nitko ponovno ne tvita vaš određeni status... Ili se možda osjećate ushićeno kada vas ponovno tvitaju možda 8 puta! … Možda večerate sa svojim prijateljima i na kraju svojim pratiteljima na Twitteru kažete kako je hotelski ambijent dobar, umjesto da ga podijelite sa svojim pratiteljima za stolom; ili opet, na putovanju ste i vaša primarna briga nije uživanje u krajoliku, već snimanje slike i postavljanje na svoj Facebook račun, kako biste sljedeći dan mogli provjeriti koliko ste ' Sviđa mi^(Likes) se' dobili.

If all this is happening to you…then you are hooked, trust me!

Ovisnost o internetu^(Internet) i društvenim^(Social) mrežama

Na početku potrebe za dijeljenjem, web-mjesta za društvene mreže poput Facebooka^(Facebook) i Twittera^(Twitter) su fenomenalno porasla. S više od 700 milijuna korisnika, Facebook očito prednjači. Čak ni njegovi osnivači u svojim najluđim snovima nisu mogli zamisliti da će Facebook biti toliko popularan u vremenima koja dolaze.

Biti povezan sa svojom omiljenom društvenom web lokacijom u svakom trenutku postalo je neophodno za takve. I osjećaju se nesigurno ako se iz nekog razloga moraju prekinuti. Za njih bi se ostanak u vezi mogao usporediti s povezivanjem s maternicom putem pupkovine, a prekid veze ili odlazak izvan mreže za njih bi bila prilično zbunjujuća pomisao.

Neki dijelovi svijeta, posebice zapadni svijet, doživljavaju brak ili obitelj kao instituciju koja se raspada i nije neuobičajeno vidjeti da samci ostaju sasvim sami. A potreba za dijeljenjem jedna je od najosnovnijih ljudskih potreba. Ako nije to, potreba da se bude dio društvene mreže zbog pritiska grupe vršnjaka samo čini da postanete članovi ovih web stranica.

Tere is no denying, that the social web plays a very useful role in keeping people connected. From finding old friends, building new associations, promoting new ventures, using them as a marketing tool, causing upheavals in Egypt, recruitment, and more – they have a great value!

Uznemirujući trend je da su ljudi počeli misliti da je biti aktivan na društvenim mrežama biti društveni, dok je istina daleko od toga. Sjedenje ispred računala, uglavnom 24 sata dnevno, 7 dana u tjednu, čavrljanje s 'prijateljima' (koji možda nisu onakvima kakvi se čine) oduzima društvene vještine i milosti koje su potrebne za stvarno komuniciranje sa stvarnim ljudima. Osim brige o sigurnosti^(Security) i privatnosti^(Privacy) , neki su skloni dijeliti stvari s ljudima koje inače ne bi trebali.

A pametni telefoni su samo povećali ovisnost o društvenim mrežama. Njihovi učinci kod kuće, na poslu i u školi su previše očiti!

Ovisnost o Facebooku

Već je dokazano da ovisnost o Facebooku^(Facebook) uzrokuje anksioznost i depresiju, posebno kod mladih. U 2013. SAD planira označiti ovisnost o internetu^{(Internet Addiction)} kao pravi poremećaj, kažu izvješća. Koliko često ih viđamo kako izlaze – u igri ili druženju? Ili ih češće viđamo kako čuče ispred svojih računala kako provode vrijeme stvarajući dobre profile, objavljujući ažuriranja statusa ili hraneći zamišljene krave?

Maybe the day won’t be far that we have several de-addiction or detox camps for Facebook & Twitter addicts!

Svjestan sam da je moje gledište manjina, ali ako mislite da trošite previše vremena na Facebook^(Facebook) , Twitter ili bilo koju drugu društvenu stranicu i pridajete previše važnosti , možda barem jednom želite isključiti svoje računalo, zadržite svoje pametnog telefona kod kuće, idi prošetaj i razmisli o tome.

Disconnect yourself from the net and go meet a real friend for change – and see how it feels! The idea is to strike a balance and get a real-life too!

Internet and Social Networking Sites addiction

There was a time when religion was considered as the opium for the maѕses. “Religion is the opium of the people“, so said Karl Marx. Welcome to the new world where social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, SnapChat, TikTok, etc are now the new opium for the netizens!

If the first thing you want to do when you wake up in the morning, is to log in to your Facebook account and see how many Likes / Comments you have received (or not), then rest assured – you are hooked!

Don’t plan to shave today? Do you tweet about it and tell your 1000 odd followers who don’t know you, that you don’t plan to shave today? Or does it give you a mild depression when no one re-tweets a particular status of your’s … Or maybe you feel exhilarated when you get re-tweeted maybe 8 times! … Perhaps you are having dinner with your friends and you end up telling your Twitter followers how good the hotel ambiance is, rather than sharing it with your table companions; or then again, you are on a trip and your primary concern is not enjoying the scenery but taking out a picture and uploading it to your Facebook account, so that you can check up the next day how many ‘Likes’ you received.

If all this is happening to you…then you are hooked, trust me!

Internet & Social networking sites addiction

Riding initially on the need to share, social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter have grown phenomenally. With over 700 million users, Facebook is clearly leading the pack. Not even its founders in their wildest dreams may have imagined that Facebook would be so popular in times to come.

Being connected to your favorite social site at all times has become a must for such. And they feel insecure if they have to disconnect for some reason. For them, staying connected could well be compared to being connected to a womb via the umbilical cord, and disconnecting or going offline would be a rather disconcerting thought for them.

Some parts of the world, especially the western world, are seeing marriage or family as an institution crumbling and it is not uncommon to see singles staying all alone. And the need to share is one of the most basic of human needs. If it’s not this, the need to be a part of the social web due to peer group pressure, just makes one become members of these websites.

Tere is no denying, that the social web plays a very useful role in keeping people connected. From finding old friends, building new associations, promoting new ventures, using them as a marketing tool, causing upheavals in Egypt, recruitment, and more – they have a great value!

The disturbing trend is that people have started to think that being active on social networking sites is being social, whereas the truth is far from it. Sitting in front of computers, most 24/7, chatting with ‘friends’ (who may not be what they seem) does take away the social skills and graces which may be required to actually interact with real-life people. Security and Privacy concerns apart, some tend to share things with people who one normally should not.

And smartphones have only increased the dependency on social networks. Their effects at home, at work and at school are all too obvious!

Facebook addiction

It has already been proven that Facebook addiction causes anxiety and depression, especially in youngsters. In 2013, the US plans to mark Internet Addiction as a real disorder, say reports. How often do we see them going out – playing or socializing? Or do we see them more often crouched in front of their computers spending time creating good profiles, publishing status updates, or feeding imaginary cows?

Maybe the day won’t be far that we have several de-addiction or detox camps for Facebook & Twitter addicts!

I am aware that mine is a minority view, but if you think you are spending too much time on and giving too much importance to Facebook, Twitter or any other social site, maybe for once, you want to shut off your computer, keep your smart phone at home, go take a walk and think about it.

Disconnect yourself from the net and go meet a real friend for change – and see how it feels! The idea is to strike a balance and get a real-life too!
