Cyber craze

Why do we feel the need to 'like' and 'comment' on posts on Facebook ?

Why do we feel the need to take 'selfies' ?

Why do we feel the need to 'retweet' and 'favourite' on Twitter ?

Why do we feel the need to take every pictures of the things we do and eat at the time and post them everywhere ?

WHY ?

No logical or reasonable reason whatsoever.

It's like we, human beings, have turned ourselves into willing servants of the social networking sites, gadgets, technologies and the internet.

Maybe you could argue that taking pictures and capturing moments is for memory and posting up on sites so that the memory will not fade and share them with people so that everyone you know could share your joy and happiness.

Yes. that will be the only acceptable reason, although people overdo it and it becomes a craze and show-off medium and that does not explain the need to gain as many 'likes' as possible.

The thing is, moderation is the key.

Everything has limits.

Stay within the line and everything will turn out well and beautiful and meaningful.

But right now, I don't think there will be a turning-back.

We have gone too far.

What a pity .
