Aren't we all living a virtual world life more than the real one. It is not uncommon to see pictures on fb or other social networking sites making fun of people who are constantly on their phones. The best one for me where there are group of friends sitting together and their phones are piled up and the tag line goes whoever picks first will pay the bill. Though I am writing this piece, but am doing it from my phone, which makes me guilty of missing out on the real world. But what is really real world for us? We tend to look up everything on the Internet and if we are not a part of this Internet age then are we really missing out on the virtual world or real world. But sometimes I wonder if the principles of fb would be applied in everyday life, how the respone would be? Imagine some random person coming over to you and offer friendship. Will u start asking about the mutual friends or just say no. If I start following you I will be called a stalker and not a supporter. Butting in any conversation and saying I like it would definitely attract the attention of a policeman, a psychologist and a psychiatrist if not of any opposite gender. But I guess the rules of every society is different whether it's the virtual society of same people.
Horrible!
