Where social networks leads to...!

History and evolution..

Its too early now, all famous social network sites are not more than a decade old I would say, Originally social network sites are developed for sharing the communication between very small group of people within the same category, it was a very little drop and now become a ocean.. Since internet was luxury early days all these social networks were used by reasonable amount of people within the country, later when the smart phones and internet on the go become commercial this social network was slowly started knitting a big woolen jacket, then within the last few bunch of years big mobile industry giants were capturing the whole world by simply touching or tapping the index finger on the TFT/LCD/LED screen the well known smartphone market!!.. Here comes the huge bump in the usage of the social networks and now the world is knitted with a mega size wollon jacket which can cover the whole world population! See how this can be visualized...

Now it evolved so much and any new app coming in the market with this category is grabbing the attention very soon and getting popular among the people! If we are not very cute in deciding what is important? or what is not? then Its a very easy we become an addict to this and it creates a kind of a disorder within us. It's time I would rather give a  very simple example here to make this point clear! the original intention the mobile phone is to make or receive calls and communicate from remotely, Now a days the incoming call dial tones are lesser importance than the ping sound we hear from the social network sites, we may pick up the incoming phone even little late but give most importance to the ping sounds from social networks. This may not be true for everyone or all times, as we do not respond to anything when we are at work which happened many times personally to me atleast! However this become a largely or unknowingly cultivated habit..!

It did not stop there, now many network service providers are started promoting the famous social network access for free of cost during nights, which is the time where people can spend more time on their lovable gadgets! Of Course that is a business tactics. Never than ever all these famous social network industries are planning to promote apps which can be with you and help you in all your parts of a day; right from your morning jogging till you lie on your bed..

Many big universities of psychology and other media studies, is doing research and publishing the news that how a selfi can be best taken to get more clicks on the social network pages.

Moreover knowingly or unknowingly, this become a social status of each and every individual that have an account on this, the number of views or hits on the shared thing decides how socially you are influenced among your friends and families.. But this can be also rated or treated in a different way that how frequent do you use these networks, may be that could also be the reason.

With all these, we are not sure where social networks leads to...??

Note: Intentionally have not used any specific name or an indication of any social network/mobile industries; just to make sure these thoughts are pretty common and do not pinpoint any specifics!
